[00:00.00]Cory Mo
[00:02.00]Zaytoven
[00:02.90]I've seen joy and pain in this world (This world)
[00:06.80]I'm just tryna remain in this world (This world)
[00:10.00]I even pray to God for change in this world
[00:13.80]I've seen some troubling times in this world
[00:17.20]'Cause my Black life matters in this world (This world, this world, this world)
[00:20.90]'Til we're equal in this world
[00:24.60]Power to the people in this world (This world, this world)
[00:28.60]Been walking down the wicked streets of America, who'd have thought
[00:32.40]That the fight for basic civil rights was still left to be fought
[00:36.10]Even after we lost Huey, Hampton, Martin, and Malcolm
[00:40.00]To racist elite power structures whiter than talcum
[00:43.70]See, they've been treatin' my people like they ain't еqual
[00:47.30]Since the slave ships and now wе livin' in a sequel
[00:51.00]Talkin' 'bout 'em lynchin' us, burnin' us and killin' us
[00:54.70]For four-hundred years, and man, they still ain't feelin' us
[00:58.40]Systemic racism, economic and judicial
[01:02.00]Plus killer cops attacking us daily, pulling they pistol
[01:05.50]So now mane it's official, we've gots to take a stand
[01:09.10]Every time they kill a Black woman or a Black man
[01:12.80]In this world, oh, world
[01:16.30]I've seen joy and pain in this world (Cold world)
[01:19.70]I'm just tryna remain in this world
[01:23.10]I even pray to God for change in this world
[01:27.20]I've seen some troubling times in this world
[01:30.50]'Cause my Black life matters in this world (This world, this world, this world)
[01:35.00]'Til we're equal in this world
[01:37.90]Power to the people in this world (This world, this world)
[01:41.80]The blacker the berry, the more weight to carry on these shoulders of ours
[01:45.30]While the candles burn dimly on corners, as we mourn the slain with bouquets of flowers
[01:49.00]And the killers go free, no matter the footage we see and vivid of pictures
[01:52.50]I just pray for the mothers and fathers that bury their babies, find comfort in scriptures
[01:56.50]And destroy the fiends and killers
[01:58.00]We more kings and queens, than niggas
[01:59.90]Ain't no tweets or meme could heal us
[02:01.70]Only we could protect the village and bless the children with knowledge and truth
[02:05.30]The strength in the roots, the struggle is proof, the cutting the noose
[02:08.00]The living the life, the power to fight, the power that be
[02:10.80]They point and they shoot
[02:11.50]And the cameras gon' point at the looters like we ain't been peacefully protesting
[02:15.30]Like we ain't been tired of seeing people dying and they ain't get no justice
[02:19.10]Like a building on fire is worth more than lives and a family that's crying feel hopeless
[02:22.40]'Cause the system is built off racism we knowing
[02:24.50]And that system been broken
[02:26.00]Said I paid too much living
[02:29.60]I've seen joy and pain in this world (This world)
[02:32.80]I'm just tryna remain in this world (This world)
[02:36.00]I even pray to God for change in this world
[02:40.10]I've seen some troubling times in this world
[02:43.60]'Cause my Black life matters in this world (Keep yo' head up in this world)
[02:47.70]'Til we're equal in this world (This world)
[02:51.40]Power to the people in this world (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
[02:55.40]I done seen too much through the times (Times)
[02:57.70]Crazy days going through my mind (Mind)
[02:59.30]Same color, same skin folk (Folk)
[03:01.10]Murdered, televised, those my kind (Kind)
[03:03.00]What about Breonna Taylor? (Yeah)
