JP Reynolds, Isaiah J. Tate, Antoine & Li - Black Paranoia / Black Vision текст песни

Dreams can turn to nightmares

Transform into something that you might fear

Dark skin, hoody up

Get paranoid like no light is here

What you seeing when you see me

I ain't plotting I ain't scheming

Unless I'm getting my Ben Banneker on

I step outta the boat trying to handle the storm

Woo! Good God

It can all seem so bleak

I'm over here trying to sound the horn

All they hear is a screech

My presence is a breach

Of any intention to kill my flow

But I refused to get beached

So Ima scream until you hear me yo

I'm feeling like a problem 'cause I don't fit in a box

My body feeling alien, my stomach be in knots

Black Paranoia

Feeling like a problem 'cause I don't fit in a box

If you try to shackle me I'm breaking off them locks

Black Paranoia

Everyday when I leave my crib

I strategize what I'm gon bring with me

My headphones, my phone charge

And I never neglect to bring something to read

I be on my black black black black

I can face an attack tack tack tack

And that thing come around and I don't get down

When I hear the sound of kak kak kak kak

They gon see when they search my corpse

Howard Thurman in the side, stored

So maybe I wasn't liable

To be the oppos that they spy me for

Oh, poor black boy

In the newspaper got another sad story

Killed by the force or in gang territory

Can't walk nowhere without bags on me

I'm feeling like a problem 'cause I don't fit in a box

My body feeling alien, my stomach be in knots

Black Paranoia

Feeling like a problem 'cause I don't fit in a box

If you try to shackle me I'm breaking off them locks

Black Paranoia

Ooooo

The blacker the berry the sweeter the juice

And they looking thirsty

They ready to shoot

Ready to light me up, I know the truth

I am not moved

My soul bulletproof

They hanging on corner with drugs in their boots

Applied by the system

I call it a noose

What we gon' do when they're feeding us lies

Put down the semi and pick up a book

And start feeding your mind

'Cause we ain't go time

To ease up with our feet up

Gotta get it

Before they take us all in the middle of the city

Got their hand on the trigger

Got my hand on the Bible

Fists in the air

'Cause you know it's Black Power

I'm feeling like a problem 'cause I don't fit in a box

My body feeling alien, my stomach be in knots

Black Paranoia

Feeling like a problem 'cause I don't fit in a box

If you try to shackle me I'm breaking off them locks

Black Paranoia

Black vision it be so bright

Dream on

You got a special sight

Black vision it be so bright

You can only see the stars at night

In darkness I see starlight

Precognition

Rapid eye twitching

Welcome to the interstitials of my sight space

With all that's transpired

And the tears made of fire

You still lookin through me and you're looking like grace

Put your wings over eyes

Now it's WEs over Is

Stay grounded in these roots

We believe we can fly

You see us in a different way we're more than what they say we are

They try to put me in a cage, instead I'm penning cajun bars

In spite of all the wrong done to us

You let a sweet song to come through us

They stop and frisk us

They're closing schools

We live and love

We're changing rules

Glimpses refined by Divinity's design

Senses sublime 'stead of empty and resigned

Nothing can take this hope from me

I'm glad u came in the night and spoke to me

Black vision

Black vision it be so bright

Dream on

You got a special sight

Black vision it be so bright

You can only see the stars at night

In darkness I see starlight

I remember when we used to socialize

About our lives

And realize that life was such a blessing

Even in the midst of pain

We would gain the knowledge

To understand a setback is a setup for a lesson

But now the world is getting colder

Gotta look over my shoulder

For the ones who can't admit my black is beauty

Full of hatred

My soul is aching

They trying to strip us of our melanin

And get us naked

But I'm here to bring the power back

Black vision

Something like a Rosa Parks

But a little different

Something for the hood

Mixed with a little Christian

Yall see they killed Jesus Christ

But he still living

That's black vision

Black vision it be so bright

Dream on

You got a special sight

Black vision it be so bright

You can only see the stars at night

In darkness I see starlight
