Текст песни E-40 and Big K.r.i.t. - Black Is Beautiful (The Curb Commentator Channel 2. 2020)

They put their club upside your head
And then turn around and accuse you of attacking them
Every case of police brutality against a Negro follows the same pattern
They attack you, bust you all upside your mouth
And then take you to court and charge you with assault
What kind of democracy is that?

Uh, although it's uncertain times, I still smile
Social injustice and racial profile
40 acres and a mule
Black history should be a mandatory class in school
Strong-minded, solid like granite
We the most forgiving human beings on the planet
They raped the men in our family in front of wives
Tried to make us look weak in front of our kids, dehumanize

And our leadership hella devil-sent
Got in the White House by trolling our only Black president
Evil, evil, evil
Brainwashed our people, say, "What Obama do for Black people?"
Me personally, I wanna fade
Fell out with so-called friends 'cause they drunk the Kool-Aid
They whipped us and hung us up on a tree
Lit us on the fire so the community could see

(Black is beautiful) Black is beautiful
(Set our warriors free) Set our warriors free
(Black is beautiful) Black is beautiful
(Set our warriors free) Set us free

It's crazy how my beautiful skin
Could get me strapped up, strung up, swung in the wind
Tasered, maced, and cuffed, arm under my chin
Kneeled on, wheeled on, call for mama again
Dragged from the back of a pick-up for people to see
K-9 that bite down, now there's flesh in their teeth
Douse me in gas, burn the ash and left in the streets
And even then, some white folk'll take a picture with me

My beautiful skin could also get me thrown on a boat
Live by the flow, my name, chain, culture revolt
Pray to the Heavens 'cause hell on Earth is all that I know
My skin made it where I got nowhere to go
When my people were trying to escape, they either killed or they capture us
And now they got the nerve to tell me "Go back to Africa"
African-American, my ancestors died for it
So fuck them racist motherfuckers, I'ma ride for it
Black is beautiful

(Black is beautiful) Black is beautiful
(Set our warriors free) Set our warriors free
(Black is beautiful) Black is beautiful
(Set our warriors free) Set us free

Black is god, black is beautiful to me
Behold the shine, set our warriors free
(Set our warriors free)
Black is god, black is beautiful to me (Uh)
Behold the shine, set our warriors free
(Set our warriors free)

(Black is beautiful) Black is beautiful
(Set our warriors free) Set our warriors free
(Black is beautiful) Black is beautiful
(Set our warriors free) Set us free
