paroles de chanson Pop Iconz - Georgia Anne Muldrow

The powers that see who we are
Work long hours to ensure that we don't be who we are
But in turn make our seeds wanna be superstars
That would rap about the trap 'stead of kneeling to God
Rap about their back instead of freedom through art
Rap about their cheese and a wig from a doll
It's hard for me to find the strength to not hate y'all
But it's there indeed because stress leads to death
And the last thing we need is another human being of color
Laid to rest by white supremacy

Oh my God it's hard to see when this is coming to an end
Pop icon trend obsessed with the Nikon
Best to keep your lights on, your plight's wrong
I said to my daughter "'Cause of you, you ought to quit it"
Acting like you here make girls more proud of themselves
As you dissin' every sister you evicted from my home now
Threw money on your movement for my baby girl, 'cause I ain't wanna hate
But now you going all kaleidoscope crack deal on her

It's true I tried to warn her, didn't wanna disappoint her
But I know you was goin' to
You protect these knee-drop squabs we thank blackness
Broadway actors in rap, so manufactured
Caught up in the rapture of loot, trivial pursuit
Leave my hip-hop alone with that skip to my loo my darling
You soaring with that eagle eye view
We warring so get hip to recruit
That your lips being used black swan like a pawn

Please don't get it twisted
I'm not interested in your riches
I'm not interested in your buisness
I'm saying kids up here is listening to ya

It also speaks to the environment
In which we are embedded as young black males and females in this particular society
Hip-hop changing from positive to negative was not a consequence of history
It was not a circumstance of history
It was nothing that just happened on its own

It had nothing to do with the changing of the times
Had nothing to do with that
Had everything to do with the fact that
There are people (that's right) in this particular society
Who wants to see us exactly where we are
And we cannot let that point elude us
