Текст песни Black British - V V Brown

Listen up my people
Hold your head up high
And put your banners up into the sky
'Cause we have got a declaration
Ready for a conversation
Baby it's our time

It has been a mission for us
We have been so polarized (Been so polarized)
Fighting for the liberation
Just so we can live our lives (We can live our lives)
Clock is ticking 'round and 'round
And we're accustomed to the fight (Accustomed to the fight)
Navigating through the beautiful and terrifying life

Of Black British (Black British, Black British)
Sing it for the culture, yeah, I'm saying
Black British (Black British, Black British)
Sing it for the struggle, yeah, I'm saying
Black British (Black British, Black British)
Singing for the innovators, saying
Black British (Black British, Black British)
Talkin' 'bout Black British

Talkin' 'bout Black British

We don't wanna compromise
Or have to limit any part of who we wanna be
Or feel we have to step on every egg shell
Just to be a part of society

There's something in the water changing
We can feel it in the air (Feel it in the air)
It don't matter who you are
It's changing and we don't care (And we don't care)
Evolution is inevitable
Time for us to grow (Time for us to grow)
There are no more excuses in saying that you didn't know

Black British (Black British, Black British)
Sing it for the culture, yeah, I'm saying
Black British (Black British, Black British)
Sing it for the struggle, yeah, I'm saying
Black British (Black British, Black British)
Singing for the innovators, saying
Black British (Black British, Black British)
Talkin' 'bout Black British
Talkin' 'bout Black British (Black British)

Wait, flip it, it's the times of the nation
I've been waiting here, black power station
Every single day I'm down for persuasion
It's a human mathematical equation
Every moment we are craving stimulation
Gotta break it down, elimination
I'll be living a life of liberation
Split it like an atom, I'm Black and you're Caucasian
Juggling it like a ball, it's like a little dribble
Every moment forward, huh, I do a wiggle
Meta information, neurological precision
Take it in and be a doctor of decision
It's the truth, the lie, the day, the night
The brainwash fodder that blows you up inside, hey
Put your banners up and read your James Baldwin
Malcolm was a winner and Martin Luther told 'em
Malcolm was a winner and Martin Luther told 'em
Put your banners up and read your James Baldwin

It has been a mission for us
We have been so polarized (Been so polarized)
Fighting for the liberation
Just so we can live our lives (We can live our lives)
Clock is ticking 'round and 'round
And we're accustomed to the fight (Accustomed to the fight)
Navigating through the beautiful and terrifying life

Of Black British (Black British, Black British)
Sing it for the culture, yeah, I'm saying
Black British (Black British, Black British)
Sing it for the struggle, yeah, I'm saying
Black British (Black British, Black British)
Singing for the innovators, saying
Black British (Black British, Black British)
Talkin' 'bout Black British
