Don't die on me

I said

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

S**t s**ts 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

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 f**ked they're overlooking what you bring

I know s**ts so good but it's just the little things

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

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 s**t

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 f**ked they overlooking what they gave us

I know that s**ts so good so we pray for better days

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

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
