Black art not bad art, ya

Black art not mad art, uh, nu-uh

Black art not sad art, ya, ya

I’m a black hero

Malcolm no little

I’m not here to dig holes like zero

Money turn rows to fours, Rob De Niro

Blacker than a named Draymond, or Shaquille O… Neal

Probably change the game incredible

So poetical I done turn to edible

so starving you’re not legible

Metaphor fruit punch lasts vegetables

'Cause we ain’t came to be acceptable

Smelling like cocoa butter and lint balls

Everyone running away we’re so involved

Every Trump get in the way can get mauled, y’all

I done came a long way

I used to freestyle rap for niggas up in the hard ways

Had a couple flicks, now this tight, it’s all great

And the whole fam in good hands like Allstate

Black art not bad art, ya

Black art not mad art, uh, nu-uh

Black art not sad art, ya, ya

Banba, banda

Black art not bad art, ya

Black art not mad art, uh, nu-uh

Black art not sad art, ya, ya

Banba, banda

You say okay crop me out or block me out

And you can’t box me out, I’m boxkea

Babe is tryna count me out for dropping out

And now I’m just dropping mouth like parkea

Black and cab free but still can’t trust police

On the radio now we can’t be Rahim

No text me back then you tweaking G

'Cause why would you not wanna hear from me?

Inspired by no-names and Queen Latifs

The Lil Waynes,

My flow is like sold trays of disco meat

With the hip hop beats nigga, watch my feet

It’s a miracle when I had that voice so lyrical

Look so spiritual, vibes so mystical

Rolled through a lemon, I swallowed that bitch whole

Struggle made me gold and black made me bold

Black art not bad art, ya

Black art not mad art, uh, nu-uh

Black art not sad art, ya, ya

Banba, banda, hey, hey, hey

(The blacker the berry the sweeter than juice

I said the blacker the berry the sweeter than juice

The blacker the berry the sweeter than juice

I said the blacker the berry the sweeter than juice)

Black art not bad art, ya

Black art not mad art, uh, nu-uh

Black art not sad art, ya, ya

Banba, banda

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Black art not bad art

Black art not mad art

Black art not sad art

Banba, banda

I am the revolution and the revolution don’t stop

I am change, soon we will make a change that will change it all

I am courage, courage to move the masses forward against those that will sit

and say and not move

I am movement, moving all the place where we will be judged by content of our

character and not the colour of our skin

Colour of my people who toiled the land of America and made it great

I am great, great because I dedicate myself to change

I dedicate myself to my people

I dedicate myself to the movement

I dedicate myself to the revolution

And the revolution don’t stop
