[00:32.226]Uh, this is to the memory of Danroy Henry
[00:35.450]Too much enemy fire to catch a friendly
[00:38.162]Strays from the same shade, nigga, we on the same team
[00:40.904]Giving you respect, I expect the same thing, uh
[00:43.828]All-black everything, nigga, you know my fresh code
[00:46.543]I’m out here fighting for you, don’t increase my stress load
[00:48.961]Niggas watching the throne, very happy to be you
[00:51.633]Power to the people, when you see me, see you
[00:54.295]And I’m from the murder capital where they murder for capital
[00:57.087]Heard about at least three killings this afternoon
[01:00.080]Looking at the news like, "Damn! I was just with him after school"
[01:02.713]No shop class, but half the school got a tool
[01:05.371]And a "I could die any day"-type attitude
[01:07.792]Plus his little brother got shot reppin' his avenue
[01:10.493]It’s time for us to stop and redefine black power
[01:13.234]Forty-one souls murdered in fifty hours
[01:16.539]The paper read: "Murder, black-on-black murder"
[01:21.946]The paper read: "Murder, black-on-black murder" again
[01:30.362]"Murder" again
[01:35.491]Is it genocide?
[01:37.232]'Cause I can still hear his mama cries
[01:39.016]Know the family traumatized
[01:40.256]Shots left holes in his face about piranha-sized
[01:42.880]The old pastor closed the cold casket
[01:45.578]And said the church ain’t got enough room for all the tombs
[01:48.264]It’s a war going on outside we ain’t safe from
[01:51.180]I feel the pain in my city wherever I go
[01:53.802]314 soldiers died in Iraq
[01:56.979]509 died in Chicago
[01:59.114]I arrived on the day Fred Hampton died
[02:01.383]Uh, real niggas just multiply
[02:04.114]And they say by 21, I was supposed to die
[02:06.855]So I’m out here celebrating my post-demise
[02:09.444]If you put crabs in a barrel to ensure your survival
[02:12.048]You're gon' end up pulling down niggas that look just like you
[02:15.573]What up, Blood?
[02:16.841]Uh, what up, cuz?
[02:17.875]Uh, it’s all black, uh, I love us
[02:21.178]The paper read: "Murder, black-on-black murder"
[02:25.742]The paper read: "Murder, black-on-black murder" again
[02:34.030]"Black-on-black murder" again
[02:39.564]"Black-on-black murder" again
[02:41.444]II. "Excellence"
[02:42.734]It’s a celebration of black excellence, black tie, black Maybachs
[02:49.381]Huh, yeah, uh
[02:53.045]Black excellence, opulence, decadence
[02:55.215]Tuxes next to the president, I’m present
[02:58.045]I dress in Dries, and other boutique stores in Paris
[03:02.439]In sheepskin coats, I silence the lambs
[03:05.541]Do you know who I am, Clarice?
[03:08.332]No cheap cologne whenever I “shh-shh”
[03:10.956]Success never smelled so sweet
[03:13.796]I stink of success, the new black elite
[03:16.516]They say my Black Card bears the mark of the beast
[03:19.238]I repeat: my religion is the beat
[03:22.285]My verse is like church, my Jesus piece
[03:24.835]Now please, domino, domino
[03:28.303]Only spot a few blacks the higher I go, uh
[03:30.953]What’s up to Will? Uh, shout out to O, uh
[03:33.807]That ain’t enough, we gonna need a million more, uh
[03:36.628]Kick in the door, uh, Biggie flow
[03:39.215]I’m all dressed up with nowhere to go, uh
[03:41.938]Yeah, it’s all messed up when it’s nowhere to go
[03:44.413]So we won’t take the time out 'til we reach the T-O-P
[03:47.467]From parolees that hold G’s, sold keys, low keys
[03:50.630]We like the promised land of the OG’s
[03:52.909]In the past if you picture events like a black tie
[03:55.816]What the last thing you expect to see? Black guys
[03:58.911]What’s the life expectancy for black guys?
[04:01.628]The system’s working effectively, that’s why
[04:04.332]I’ll be a real man, take care of your son
[04:07.175]Every problem you had before this day is now done
[04:10.057]New crib, watch a movie
[04:12.724]'Cause ain’t nothin' on the news but the blues
[04:15.796]Hit the mall, pick up some Gucci
[04:18.269]Now ain’t nothing new but your shoes
[04:21.272]Sunday morning, praise the Lord
[04:23.661]You the girl that Jesus had been saving me for
[04:26.509]So let’s savor this moment and take it to the floor
[04:29.273]Black excellence
[04:30.805]Truly yours
