[Intro]
Yeah
We done fought too long
Yeah
But we still strong
[Chorus: Th3 Saga]
I am royalty (Hey)
Off the color of my skin
Man they don’t want me to win
It’s annoying me (Hey)
I thought every life matter
Why my blood gotta splatter
Where’s the loyalty (Hey)
Through it all I can say
I am black, I am brave
I am royalty (Hey)
Yeah you ain’t ignoring me
Na na yeah
[Verse 1: B. Dot]
All of my people got loyalty loyalty loyalty
Kendrick and Rih Rih
I’m chunking up P’s at police
When they see me
They want me to be a victim on the TV
People tired of a peaceful protest
We still ain’t getting no rest
Picket signs vs riot gear
You ain’t got no vest upon your chest
That is not war
I think we can do a lot more
Garvey told us we should separate
But assimilations what you fighting for
Why for
When they never respect you
Always neglect you
Left you
Don’t let it affect you
I’m here to tell you right now that you special
Got a lot to do, a lot to prove
A lotta crips and a lotta rules
If we unite then it’s dynamite
We gon’ blow it all up when we light the fuse
I was quite confused
Didn’t know what light to choose
But I been chosen to shine
No more lives we lose
Skating pass the oppressor
We gotta stay on our grind
This is Devine timing
Everything’s in alignment
Ancestors gave me the assignment
Told me to team up wit’ Saga
The solution to the problem is unity
Usually we divided and violent
Just make a post bout it and comment
Nah we ain’t staying silent
Scream loud as a giant that
[Chorus: Th3 Saga]
I am royalty (Hey)
Off the color of my skin
Man they don’t want me to win
It’s annoying me (Hey)
I thought every life matter
Why my blood gotta splatter
Where’s the loyalty (Hey)
Through it all I can say
I am black, I am brave
I am royalty (Hey)
Yeah you ain’t ignoring me
Na na yeah
[Verse 2: Th3 Saga]
They killin’ us in Cold Blood
To remain lesser
They took Ahmad, Breonna
Even Elijah With the same effort
With our backs against the ropes
Boxed in under great pressure
All because they killed that King George
Floyd in May weather
Man get your knee off my neck
First off Ima need some respect
I'm so tired of seeing my people bleedin’
From Police by arrest
For so long they beat us
Mistreat us for the shade they see on my flesh
Hopin' they see I'm suppressed
Through it all, Indeed I am blessed
This what ya'll stressing over
They hate my skin cause my complexion holds the
Key to my power my beauty
While they oppress and choke us
To make sure the kids that come after me
Grow up stressed and hopeless
My steps ordered, can’t misdirect my focus
I can’t just protest from the pulpit
Knowin’ Breonna was killed
I refuse to wait in the church
I’d rather bring God to the field
With a double edge sword in my hand
My Holy armor revealed
Man its time to squad up for real
Scream loud from the top of the hill and say
[Chorus: Th3 Saga][x3]
I am royalty (Hey)
Off the color of my skin
Man they don’t want me to win
It’s annoying me (Hey)
I thought every life matter
Why my blood gotta splatter
Where’s the loyalty (Hey)
Through it all I can say
I am black, I am brave
I am royalty (Hey)
Yeah you ain’t ignoring me
Na na
[Bridge]
Oooooh, oooooh
Ooooh, oooooh
Oooooh, oooooh
Ooooh, oooooh
Oooooh, oooooh
Ooh, ooh
Oooooooooh
Oooooh, oooooh
Ooooh, oooooh
Oooooh, oooooh
Ooooh, oooooh
Oooooh, oooooh
Ooh, ooh
Oooooooooh
[Chorus: Th3 Saga]
I am royalty
Off the color of my skin
Man they don’t want me to win
It’s annoying me
I thought every life matter
Why my blood gotta splatter
Where’s the loyalty
Through it all I can say
I am black, I am brave
I am royalty
Yeah you ain’t ignoring me
