Don't die on me I said- [Chorus] Young black king don't die on me You my brother, you my keeper, I need you to keep an eye on me And no more fightin' on the streets Walking' around with all this pride on me Shit, shits tough for us already, know that you can still rely on me Please, just stay alive for me And my young black queens don't quit now Yeah, you're the only ones that got us I could never let my sis down You've been too strong for too long, yet still you never sit down Wow, that's the power of your lovin' And that's worthy of a king's crown And still you never let your kings down [Verse 1] Even though more time we don't deserve it The picture isn't pretty but it's perfect Tedious pressures so then I curve it Serena or Venus the way I serve it I'm Malorie Blackman the way I sell books I jump on the stage and then the world looks All that bangin' on my door had my girl shook Like, "sorry officer I only sell hooks" Leave me alone, every little end I took I held across the home Live and you learn, they'll always hate me for my tone For the shade of my skin and all the courage in my bones Now I'm misunderstood now feelin' like Nina Simone They way I tour the world would've thought that I was Simz See her on stage, I know that women can be kings I know that's fucked, they're overlooking what you bring I know shits so good, but it's just the little things [Chorus] Black queen, you're immaculate It's comin' out the world, they ain't ready for your magic yet And that was never your fault, man I guess they couldn't hack it yet World domination, and you ain't even takin' off your jacket yet So effortlessly fabulous And my young black kings I hope it pays off Go and show 'em what you're made of Try to scare us with some things that we are no longer afraid of And you're superheroes, let me see you take off I pray you never take your cape off [Verse 2] Even though more time we don't fly straight But trust me bro, I promise we gon' die great Our burdens are heavy but we ain't lightweight Our parents were legends, they had to migrate So that's the reason not to sit around and chat shit I'm from the place where Michael Dapaah made a smash hit Where you can be a rapper if you rap sick Just scream one more flippin' time to be a black Brit We so alive, whole world want our demise but now we ride Try to push us all to the side, we know our rights Now we get the whole of the pie, then go inside When we see that American flag in the sky, just now it's aight Way I top the charts, would've thought that I was Dave I am young, black, beautiful and brave I know that's fucked, they overlooking what they gave us I know that shits so good so we pray for better days [Chorus] Pray they better than before Young black king you are everything and more I know one song's not enough to settle scores But from the bottom of my heart, man I hope you're gettin' yours Man I hope you're gettin' yours Young black queen get your shine on All I see is innovators and a bag of icons You can go and ask the whole world where they got their style from That's you, that's us, lost time and he never gets the time wrong I guess we're just some ticking time bombs [Outro] I can make my world come true All my dreams will see me through And if that will get me down My dreams will turn things all around Put a smile upon my face I can see a better place Doesn't matter what will come my way Believe me now, I will win some day
