“ Black Power ” is black excellence mixed with black rebelliousness. The song starts with Jaylon reciting a Marcus Garvey quote as if he’s preparing for a war. Verse 1 Jaylon raps with a black confidence that addresses black exploitation, black spirituality, and religion.
Verse 2 Musa is doubling do...
[ Intro]
Where's the black man's government?
Where's his king and his kingdom?
Where's his president? his country?
His ambassador? his army?
(oooohweeee)
[Verse 1]
Uh, im protected by the ancestors/
Voodoo runs in my bloodline don't tell me nothing bout
A damn devil/ Yakub got you fearing you/
No religion but i'm spiritual/ the man use it as propaganda
To divide us all i'm just giving truth/ the earth in fear with the black Man, the earth in love with the black man, even down to our fashion
They take the culture then cash in/ what you know about
Garrett Morgan? what you know about Richard Spikes?/
Your luxury car would'nt have a shift, your intersection would'nt Have a light/ all praise to the black woman see without her
You would'nt have a life/ have respect, find yourself disrespecting Her then we at ya neck/ you don't want us in america then return Back what we did for her/ you would have nothing on this blood Soil, you all spoiled, matter of fact we was here before you/
Your history books full of falsehood you can't educate us/
We know you dropped crack in the hood to blow our families up, it Didn't detonate us/ as you can see it did'nt seperate us, all it really Did was elevate us/ you can't kill the original people of the earth, is You fuking crazy?
[Chorus]
I am god in the flesh, i got the blood of a slave
Look at the black on my skin, a beautiful color of shade
Don't be discouraged to say, black is black gorgeous
Black is black flawless, black is black power
I am god in the flesh, i got the blood of a slave
Look at the black on my skin, a beautiful color of shade
Don't be discouraged to say, black is black gorgeous
Black is black flawless, black is black power
[Verse 2]
I'm Nat Turner with the smoking gun
Change will come when the sermon stop/
The pastor telling me to keep praying
Life telling me to buy a Glock/
The news tells us it our fault, when we shot down by the cops
We witnessing a modern day lynching, no rope when they tie the Knot/ look at you finna buy a watch, look at them finna buy ya Block, then put you out/ starbucks on ya corner that's how they
Push you out/ then raise the price, grandma lived there for years
Everyday her life, now she forced to undersale, the system built for You to stay confined/
[Chorus]
I am god in the flesh, i got the blood of a slave
Look at the black on my skin, a beautiful color of shade
Don't be discouraged to say, black is black gorgeous
Black is black flawless, black is black power
I am god in the flesh, i got the blood of a slave
Look at the black on my skin, a beautiful color of shade
Don't be discouraged to say, black is black gorgeous
Black is black flawless, black is black power
