Never Had Your Back (feat. Speech & Ke'Andra)

Lyrics: Todd A. Thomas Music: Andrew Laidlaw These 52-year-olds bones I hear creeks without water flows Hip hop pro but will never know songs my 23-year-old daughter knows She's plays artists I dig, I ask who is that kid? Her answers are inaudible Little this and that named after mobs and gats Mumble raps, beats are trap And every week there's an all new batch So I just relax and let her do her 'Cause I prefer to defer to Black Girl Magic Plus all the things me and my queen put into her Life's a blur, I remember whеn she was young All the lessons that did occur Tеach her 'bout her bees and birds Streets and curbs and dreams deferred Langston Hughes and Miriam Makeba Angela Davis, facts That combat the narrative that We're doomed as Blacks and nothing can save us Freedom fighting is the proper behavior, I tell her You're black queen and you're not b***h and nah, nah You are not vixen, nah, nah You are not a trick b***h, nah, nah Hear nobody's quick fix, nah, nah America's never had your back no no no You're not trap queen, nah, nah A stripper lap dance queen, nah, nah White boy fetish thing, nah, nah Melanated Black queen, high esteem America's never had your back no no no Americas never had your back no no no America's never had your back no no no Stop your bull ish Get off your pulpit You've been a pit bull to Black women The fullness Of what you done in the slave shacks back in the wilderness Having your way with women to little girls The childrenless Breaking in entry Centuries of souls thrown in manure pits Then you pitted you on one light kids against the darker kids Now were conditioned to keeping sparking this Hating our own women Intimacy divisions and indecisions For relational confusion Materialistic dilutions And all this cuz of your intrusions No wonder we came to conclusions that Blacks lives don’t matter Murder of Breonna Taylor Black blood that splatters America constantly failing us Give reparations Give a separate nation No more diversity talk It's a Black situation And stop degrading our dear sisters on your TV stations You're black queen and you're not b***h and nah, nah You are not vixen, nah, nah You are not a trick b***h, nah, nah Hear nobody's quick fix, nah, nah America's never had your back no no no You're not trap queen, nah, nah A stripper lap dance queen, nah, nah White boy fetish thing, nah, nah Melanated Black queen, high esteem America's never had your back no no no Americas never had your back no no no America's never had your back no no no America's never had your back no no no America's never had your back no no no America's never had your back But they love to have your backside They're infatuated with that They love your full lips, your melanin darkness On them, they display On You, they dismiss And all of this madness sadness could easily be reversed If Black queens were seen as God's packages and nurture We see what you done to the people that was first year Us rising up your worst fear, America You're black queen and you're not b***h and nah, nah You are not vixen, nah, nah You are not a trick b***h, nah, nah Hear nobody's quick fix, nah, nah America's never had your back no no no You're not trap queen, nah, nah A stripper lap dance queen, nah, nah White boy fetish thing, nah, nah Melanated Black queen, high esteem America's never had your back no no no Americas never had your back no no no America's never had your back no no no America's never had your back no no no America's never had your back no no no
