[Dm] Got to [C] say [Dm] it loud when I see wrong.
Somebody's keeping songs from [Gm] being strong.
Music abuse when the sick gets you.
Now look at all these young people confused, Lord.
I've even [Dm] seen old folks
[C] deployed nonsense [Dm] that we cannot [Gm] afford.
Flashback.
Now ruining some box with
sex and teen pop equals hip [Dm]-hop.
Stop.
Our young world stars don't know who they are.
[C] Slapping rap [D] down from [Gm] high art.
Here's a start.
Y'all know better than that.
You know why?
Because y'all better than that.
Give [C] them hope.
Give them [Dm] love.
Get them pride.
Instead of [C] turning [Dm] raps into little old [Gm] traps.
Not some character.
Know what I mean?
Get some character.
Human [Dm] beings.
[C] Give [Dm] me pride, Lord.
[C] Make me feel [Dm] proud of myself.
[Gm] Let me walk with my head up high.
Let me know that I'm [G] fly.
[D] Instead of [C] wearing my [Dm] clothes
and the jewelry that [C] don't
do [Dm] nothing for me.

To survive.
Yeah.
Is [C] it me?
[Dm] Grown folks acting like kids on TV.
Baller and trying to be [Gm] what they see.
Sitting around sipping B-E-U-H.
No different [Dm] than empty, uh.
Reality trying to murder me.
Oh, [C] say, I [Dm] think they still cannot [Gm] see.
Tired of social media asking me,
Chuck Fee, what you think about this
[Dm] policy?
Want to do something
for the people, make us equal, [C] instead of
[Dm] being creepers with human [Gm] feces.
You failed to plan, you plan to fail.
2014, three million folks
[Dm] in jail.
[C]
[Dm] Eleven-year-olds can't
relate to champagne.
[C] [Dm] Silent end
words in marketing [Gm] campaigns.
Believe in anything celebrities say, and
now 40-year-olds be blinded by the fame.
[Cm] Sip, [Dm] dawg.
[C] Shake what [Dm] your mama gave ya.
[Gm] There ain't no sense in you
taking that thing or doing them things
till [C] you know what [Dm] you're doing.
[C] _
[Dm] Baby, I'm with [C] ya.
[D] [Gm] Girl, you know we love ya.
We think the world
of ya.
You're our queen.
[Cm] Know what [D] I mean?
[C]
[Dm] We gotta love ourselves [C] more [Dm] than
y [Gm]'all. _
We gotta love
_ _ _ [Dm] _ [Gm] _ _
_ where you're at.
Throw your
fist in [Dm] the air if you got soul.

gonna be hard to survive.

[Dm] Instead
[C] of worrying about [Dm] the clothes and the jewelry
that [C] don't do [Dm] nothing for me.

proud, autocholic, cocoa butter skin
in the world.
