I pray for success for my loved ones Whether love lost or it’s love won Many love, but it’s one love Lotta downsides, and there’s one up Listen to me close, til I’m overheard (herd) like a shepherd We speak of the Third World like in third person, but it’s one Earth One vision, two eyes, and one third Competition? I see none Only one God, but I still aspire to be one I’m on one mic, spitting one life that never dies My Black so beautiful why would I ever dye? One-one-one-one One-one-one-one One-one-one-one Somebody gotta be the one To unify, you and I, singularity, universally We being what? We being one One-one-one-one One-one-one... one One... one... one... one One... one One-one-one-one Somebody gotta be the one To unify, you and I, singularity, universally We being one Looking at my iPhone 10 and it reads 1-1-1-1 Spiritual awakening, I answered my calling; it was on line one Can I do it on my own? Nah Everybody needs some one You win some and lose some It’ll add up one day into one sum I found the queen of my dreams I play her pussy so much, I gave her one million streams She ain’t a one hit wonder She’s a Pyramid of Giza An African classic Everybody searching for the better half Not me though, she’s the new beginning Like the one, she the one, we are one Like one and one equal one We are balanced, we are woke It ain’t one-sided (sighted) like a cyclops, and we hope Black men make it home in one piece It’s a war zone, and we want peace How many lives do these wars own? Not one, but One-one-one-one One-one-one-one One-one-one-one Somebody gotta be the one To unify, you and I, singularity, universally We being what?

Fail once, succeed twice, then retry Get up, what, get up, what, get up, man Fail once, succeed twice, then retry All faith, but no work? Then you should resign Now is the time to reanimate and recalibrate Reevaluate reality and recalculate Forgive the ignorance, don’t retaliate With ridicule, just power down, then reactivate Black Superman recharged by Ultraviolet rays Cognitive speed reaction faster than Sonic’s brain Alarm the world with god level reawakening Just so a messiah can return back to slavery The school of reincarnation, we live and we learn To relive and relearn, every gift Every curse Afterlife is life, that’s a rebirth Resurrect from a hearse, that’s a rehearse-al And that was recent I was re-sent To this life in a melanated avatar that I respawned in If you react wrong, I’m not responding Fail once, succeed twice, then retry I request the question then I reply Rely on the process, then I refine Fail once, succeed twice, then retry All faith, but no work? Then you Should resign All faith, but no work?

Understanding, forgiveness Patience, understanding, forgiveness Patience, understanding, forgiveness Understanding, forgiveness My confidence Swaying back and forth like ocean tides I'm a Cancer crab, a water sign You know how fluid gets, my mood is unpredictable But the ebb and flow is intelligible I’m intuitive, mysterious, and luminous Like the moon is I’m in tune with It’s gravity, which is a music unheard but it's vibrant A sensitive creature dancing to it Like compliant Citizens, I tend to be a good Samaritan But I'm an African, living like Americans Clingy like staticky clothes As far as emotions go It’s a red light being vulnerable Gotta stop it Skepticism so toxic, you get nauseous Being cold-hearted? That’s a hot topic So, it goes without saying that we drop it I’m giving patience, understanding, forgiveness Patience, understanding, forgiveness I’m giving patience, understanding, forgiveness Patience, understanding, forgiveness No questions, no comments Not even Small talk, it's more like Microscopic Hardly visible Harder to explain what I feel, a complicated creature with simple hopes Sensual whenever I’m getting physical Spiritual signals interwove with your inner soul I don't wanna clash like a cymbal That's a lot of noise that will make the sex miserable A love unconditional We all want it, but giving it is just too difficult Still, I take on the task To put you first so our relationships last At least until you violate the law of love Being unloving is unlawful So awful And also sacrilegious I either take a passive act of vengeance or an active distance Patience, understanding, forgiveness Patience, understanding, forgiveness I’m giving patience, understanding, forgiveness Patience, understanding, forgiveness Patience, understanding Understanding Understanding, yea Understanding, whoa

Am I wrong? That I don't want An ordinary diva To yearn for an Afrocentric leader I'd rather have a Queen of Sheba A freedom queen A trap queen Is not what I seem to be in need of Indeed a, proper queendom Should compliment my kingdom Of black intelligence, no reason to Think we dumb Illuminated consciousness Epitomized beacons Of light-love is how their people see Them 'cause can become Greatness, which we exhibit like museums And we don't care how it goes down in the DMs That's a bad religion that I'm not practicing with But tell me if I'm wrong for not wanting the baddest bitches Most of these THOTs are capitalistic But they don't handle their business So how can they handle a good man with commitment Guess they lack the logistics, maybe their dad was missing I might not know the half but I know the damn statistics Am I wrong if I’m losing myself Could it be I’m losing myself Can she say I’m losing myself In you I’m losing myself tonight I want an original woman, I'm not Seeking a copy Someone who knows who they are And they know what I'm not, see I'm not a Cuban drug lord So if you're calling me daddy or papi Then I'm not messing with Jew like a Nazi I'm seeking godly, not a woman Who's gaudy Or haughty, I want her confident instead of being cocky And am I wrong if I don't care for side chic I love an hourglass, but can she show me that she's timeless Divine bliss, soldier of Love, military minded Kills with kindness, but it doesn't mean she's violent But that doesn't mean she can't be Overall, she still attracts me Elation, celebration, she makes me so damn happy I'm behind her all the way, unless we’re switching positions My knowledge talks and she listens Her wisdom walks and I follow Until today is tomorrow I heard that now is forever And that forever is God, so it’s good Am I wrong if I’m losing myself Could it be I’m losing myself Can she say I’m losing myself In you I’m losing myself tonight Our destination is now, I guess for now this is God So it's good, I hope it's all understood But am I wrong? Am I tripping What am I missing Am I old-fashioned? This new fashion they’re giving Is classless like Communism Sharing your assets, and that phat ass On Instagram, for the masses to have access Am I wrong to think that's madness To think it's my eyes, they're for/four Like I'm wearing glasses To stick together like glue on a magnet Stuck to glue on another magnet Is a woman so real that this becomes Hard to imagine? Damn I don't think that I'm grown But I still think I can grow Wiser with my equal, someone to give me balance A marriage, a real challenge, not a Facebook pageant I don't need a trophy wife, I need more than an actress Sure, nobody is perfect, that's 'cause nobody will practice Am I wrong if I’m losing myself Could it be I’m losing myself Can she say I’m losing myself In you I’m losing myself tonight I don't wanna fall in love like some of These guys I know I wanna rise in love until the skies Above transform to the skies below Am I wrong to be above the nonsense Does that make me sort of pompous Am I wrong for being honest To think that love should make you conscious At least that's how it seems to me I'm feeling like a Prince Akeem That doesn't need a Queen B, but a Queen to be The one who awakens my inner deity As I’m I’m losing myself I’m losing myself I’m losing myself I’m losing myself tonight

When it comes to dreams The first thing we think Is Martin Luther King And by any means We think about Malcolm When we think of queens Well, do we think about them Think about a pharaoh You don’t about a she You think about a he ‘cause you don’t think that she can be And this is just one way that History repeats like a metronome Study the rhythm of the times It’s inevitable A Black woman will be head of the O V-A-L Office Shirley Chisholm was the first Not the last, that’s a promise A feminine Messiah like Isis Sounds two/too fishy like Pisces Or maybe it’s official as a Spike Lee Joint, he said She Gotta Have it Black girl magic Circa since the 90’s when they used To be Snappin Like (Snaps) and shit would just happen Black woman you are powerful Black woman is divine Black woman ruled Khemet That was in another time Black woman was a pharaoh Black woman was a pharaoh What if history repeats I wonder how society would be Circa since Egypt Before the Cleopatras Cause they were Macedonian or Roman, not African Imagine if I campaigned to make Egypt Black again Put it on a hat and then fashion it Maybe my implication Would be ass backwards Like reverse discrimination I’m remembering the greatness Hieroglyphically picturing Hatshepsut The first female pharaoh in 15th century BCE If we define Black beauty, Black woman is the source And any synonyms Black woman’s a thesaurus Google Black Beauty You’ll probably see a horse If we say Black Jesus do we really Mean Horus I’m talking bout sun worship Distorted by Phoenicians and Europeans If you don’t see it, you’re a peon Or maybe I am, ‘cause It’s topic I don’t speak on Black woman you are powerful Black woman is divine Black woman ruled Khemet That was in another time Black woman was a pharaoh Black woman was a pharaoh What if history repeats? I wonder how society would be Black history is beyond And before the slave trade Maybe I could trade in my Slave name the same way Dan Aykrod and Eddie Murphy Traded place I trade stock, but I won’t trade races Even though sometimes It’s Black folks That’ll count you out Like the Black Vote It’s a pharaoh’s dream So I’m half-woke Jesus was the White hope Malcolm was the Black hope Cleanse away my sins Using Black Soap That’s a lotta Black bars that I’m cleansing with Black tits get more support Than Black businesses Maybe we can change our priorities If not a few of them At least the majority In pharaoh’s dream Black woman is supreme By every means protect her And let her lead Don’t let another person Tell you different Some of the best leaders are born Black women

Keep the dream and give it to the Earth Keep your dreams alive and give ‘em to the Money is the goal, better love yourself first Cause money ain’t shit if you ain’t got the self-worth If Black masculinity is under attack I pray yours in more in tact than a diplomat Dealing with toxicity in your kids’ mom Constantly claiming everything is your fault It’s ok to be weak, sometimes Just remember that your children evolve when you're involved You don’t always get the credit you deserve I pray you’re being great, getting better, and unlearn The negative self talk, I pray you get your turn I pray you get your time And you realize money ain’t all that you provide We’re providers, it’s not just meals and paid bills We provide life skills Opportunity to grow, discipline, self-sufficiency We provide the first model of dignity Don’t let them tell that lie The measure of a man is not by a dollar sign Keep the dream and give it to the Earth Keep your dreams alive and give ‘em to the Money is the goal, better love yourself first Cause money ain’t shit if you ain’t got the self-worth Keep the dream and give it to the Earth Keep your dreams alive and give ‘em to the Money is the goal, better love yourself first Cause money ain’t shit if you ain’t got the self-worth I hope that you believe in yourself I hope the king you see in me, is what you see in yourself I hope you stop scheming but learn how to dream again Grew up so fast, forgot how to be a kid Cause when it comes to dreams The first thing we think is Martin Luther King Just to be clear, you ain’t gotta call me king Call me a pharaoh, it means the same thing And when you think “pharaoh”, think about she We’re equal in our power so it means the same thing And this is just one way that history repeats Like a metronome Study the rhythm of my rhyme, it’s inevitable Black people will reawaken Master the ego to be the greatness Kill the trauma, bury it in the dirt But keep the dream alive and give it to the Earth Keep the dream and give it to the Earth Keep your dreams alive and give ‘em to the Money is the goal, better love yourself first Cause money ain’t shit if you ain’t got the self-worth Keep the dream and give it to the Earth Keep your dreams alive and give ‘em to the Money is the goal, better love yourself first Cause money ain’t shit if you ain’t got the self-worth
