Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Black is like the magic
The magic's like a spell
My brothers went to heaven
The police going to, yeah they're going to
[Verse 2]
Hello operator
Emergency hotline
If I say that I can't breathe
Will I become a chopped line
[Verse 3]
Up to see the movie
Line up to see the act
The officers are scheming
To cover up their, cover up their
[Verse 4]
Ask me no more questions
Tell me no more lies
You're servin' and protectin'
And stealin' babies' lines
[Verse 5]
I'm very black, black, black
Can't send me back, back, back
You take my brother, brother, brother
I fight back, back, back
I'm very black, black, black
I made a pact, pact, pact
To take my brother, brother, brother
I fight back, back, back
[Verse 6]
Everything is everything
Mantra says guillotine
Missionary commission misery
Into angel wings
And all he wanna do is be still and bread
Never know the dead, how they whisper, forgive me
Everything is relative
Politicize the evidence
I heard a politician reiterate all those messages
And all he wanna do is feed family, be famous
Never know the poor, how they scream out, redeem me
Everything is casualty
A song I heard Jamila sing
I know a couple babies
Gon' see 'em fly tonight
You wish he wasn't magic, all he wanna do is be a passage
In a book titled, America the Savage
Symphony is symphony
When everything was meant to be
Piano manage, I'ma boy just invented the song for me
And all I wanna do is find love and be happy
And all I wanna do is find love
[Verse 7]
I'm very black, black, black
Can't send me back, back, back
You take my brother, brother, brother
I fight back, back, back
I'm very black, black, black
I made a pact, pact, pact
You take my brother, brother, brother
I fight back, back, back
[Verse 8]
And that is all I, that is all I know
And that is all I, that is all I know
That is all I, all I know
And that is all I, that is all I know
