The Black Today ft. Dee Grand Lyrics by Quez Cantrell

2020

It hurt being black today
I know everyday ain't a given
And being black is really a privilege
That's why they on attack today
It's something in you they fear
So much so they don't even want you here
It hurt being black today
Not one of them days we smile
It's one where tears shed by the mile
They hate the way you act today
Like you found purpose not fear
Take all the chances you can while you here
Cause it hurt being Black today
Blessings and curse of the pigment
I hope you understand you built different
That's why it's demolition day
And Black man is the foundation
Sense of urgency on impatient
Cause it hurt being black today
And it's war on a Black man
And it's war on a Black Fam
It hurt being black today
Take pride in the good and the bad
You get familiar with both when you Black
It hurt being black today
I know tomorrow will be better
But it hurt being Black today
I know tomorrow will be better
But it hurt being Black today
It hurt being black today
So what the fuck we gone do?
Talk about problems and no solutions
Think of a vision of you and then execute it
That's how we make a shift and create a movement
Searching for all the answers
Still ain't looked inside of you yet
We gotta gangbang when the cops kill a Brother
All of this Black power we use it against each other
Niggas go out and rob
Niggas go out and kill
Cause niggas ain't got no skills
Nigga you gotta build
Shit ain't just gone happen cause you want
You gotta Will
That's thinking of doing
And then you got to do it
Sitting on your ass ain't creating no movement
You've gotta be moving
I'm getting better myself
How many of our brothers do we gotta
Pick up off the pavement
Before we realize this shit don't make sense
They structured us a way
It's to rearrange it
Imagine the power if we unified the gang shit
To it's origins
I know tomorrow will be better
But it hurt being Black today
I know tomorrow will be better
But it hurt being Black today
It hurt being black today
I remember the way We use to love we
I remember the way We use to love we
I remember the way We use to love we
I remember the way We use to love we
Cause it hurt being black today
I know tomorrow will be better
But it hurt being Black today
I know tomorrow will be better
But it hurt being Black today
It hurt being black today
