Fred The Godson Black Power Lyrics

[Hook: Cocoa Sarai]
Did you see the blood on the leaves? Did you hear my mother cry?
Taking a uniform and a gun and created a genocide
Black Lives don't matter, matter, matter at all
No they don't matter, matter, but before I go, my lives gon' matter

[Verse 1: Fred The Godson]
Four years for our bachelors, what a disaster
My ancestors did 40 years for they masters
So I have to go after it all before you win tomorrow, you may have to fall
This is Martin​, this is Selma
Nice weather, shit karma, the '70s—this is Thelma
Good time and deep thought, Malcolm X in his study
Streets taught me all about the X, that's why they love me
By any means, leather berretta is for Coretta
Life's a bitch, f*ck world peace, I never met her
Every lyric delivered in the spirit of Medgar Evers
Wish they was here to see Obama, we getting better
I'm trying to teach the youth how to play now
They still thinkin' Rosa Parks is a playground
A black power is hereditary
This is February, peace King – God!

[Hook]
Did you see the blood on the leaves? Did you hear my mother cry?
Taking a uniform and a gun and created a genocide?
Black Lives don't matter, matter, matter at all No they don't matter, matter, but before I go, my lives gon' matter

[Verse 2: Fred The Godson]
Four years for our bachelors
My ancestors did 40 years for they masters, what a disaster
The Garners, the Mike Browns
The pastor on the mic now talking about it right now
Congregation domination, should be awarded accommodation
Just to calm the nation before we the load guns
Cuz when we marchin' it ain't we shall overcome
Nah, we ain't comin' in peace
We comin' with pieces
That young boy rest in pieces, we the rest in peaces
Let's do it today
St. Louis, let's make it a fiasco
Make every cop in the Lou pay
Nah, that attack scary
Cuz now the iPhones poppin, they don't care if they get a black berry
Scared of black power ‘cause it's hereditary
This is February, peace King – God!

[Hook]
I see the blood on the leaves, I heard my mother cry
Taking a uniform and a gun, created genocide
Black Lives don't matter, matter, matter at all
No they don't matter, matter, but before I go, my lives gon' matter

[Bridge]
My lives gon' matter
My lives gon' matter
