Black Boy Joy Lyrics by Ajax the Lesser

Black Orchid

2019

[Intro]
Aye man this is the last vocal, on the last track, in the last hour. I did not think I would get it in on time but we did, sort of, I think, I don’t know, but I’m finishing it, when I wanted to finish it so, lets go

[Chorus: Ajax the Lesser]
You deserve it
Yeah you deserve it
Yes you do
You deserve it
Yeah you deserve it
Yes you do
You deserve it
Yeah you deserve it
Yes you do


[Verse 1: Ajax the Lesser]
Smile black boy
I said smile black boy
I know you been working I know you been fighting but you still a child black boy
Know its been a while black boy
Since you been okay
Since you had some fun
Since you would got and just run and just play
Since you would anything like just for the day
Since you would just laugh
Since you could just cry
Since you felt you deserved to dream you could fly
Since anyone saw that shine in your eye
Heard the cheer in your voice, no need to ask why
No need to act know, you know that we’re here
You’re beauty incarnate I hope that that’s clear
Your worth is inherent, not earned from your peers
Or your clothes or speech, please know that you’re held dear

[Bridge: Ajax the Lesser]
And you deserve to be happy, you deserve to be free
You deserve to exist any space that you dream
You deserve to be me
And I deserve to be you, we earned the right to be whole
No matter what we went through
One day we’ll be the stories been told
Can’t wait to show what you’ll do

[Chorus: Ajax the Lesser]
You deserve it
Yeah you deserve it
Yes you do
You deserve it
Yeah you deserve it
Yes you do
You deserve it
Yeah you deserve it
Yes you do

[Verse 2: Ajax the Lesser]
You feared for my life
Now all I feel is your strife
I remember your pain
We accomplished a lot
But we’re more than what we overcame
We’re more than the monsters we’ve maimed
More than the scars that we’ve gained
And more than the beasts that we’ve tamed
More than the sins we slain
More than the habits ingrained
Pay attention to the hope in the words that your loved ones are saying
They love you I promise its really that plain
You’re worthy regardless of what you’ve attained
Let it in
Don’t squash it, let it warm up ya skin
I beg you not to drop ya chin
You have so much beauty that’s within

[Chorus: Ajax the Lesser]
You deserve it
Yeah you deserve it
Yes you do
You deserve it
Yeah you deserve it
Yes you do
You done earned it
Yeah you done earned it
Yes you did
You deserve it
Yeah you deserve it
Yes you do (let my brothers say)

[Outro: Some of the Black Men That I’m Blessed to Call my Brothers and Ajax the Lesser]
Let my brother say
You deserve to be happy

Let my brother say
You deserve to be happy

Let my other brother say
You deserve to be happy

Let my other other brother brother say
You deserve to be happy

Let another brother brother brother say
You deserve to be happy

Let my brother say
What the brother say?
You deserve to be happy
