Black Ambition Lyrics

Got me in my element

I know the power's in my melanin

Black so beautiful, I keep telling 'em

Kings and Queens and we not settling

Passionate. Really, you've got to love

Knowing that you got your rhythm straight outta Africa

We lookin' picture perfect at the camera

This is for all of the Black diaspora

Never holdin' back and we only get better

We don't follow trends, we be the trend setters

I know they get jealous

They see us with the dreads and the braids

Let 'em swing like propellers

It ain't luck, it's Black magic

If you with me raise up your Black fists

We royalty, we ain't average

I'm proud and repping my Blackness

I'm gonna shout it out loud, I'm Black and I'm proud

And I've got the courage to stand out in the crowd

My people hold your heads high, way up in the clouds

Because we are royalty, we fit fi di crown

Champion blood in all of our genes

All a mi Black family ah one team

No matter weh you come from, nor yuh regime

You got the power, you see what I mean

A time fi we wake up out of the dream

And fulfil the legacy of Luther King

So lift up your voices and chant

While dem true Black yout yah sing

Blackedy Blackedy Black

Legacy all in our veins and deep in our souls

Elegant beauty in every tone

Pressure is on but we holding the fort

No origami, we don't fold

We standing tall, on the shoulders of our fathers

Their visions and dreams, and the legacy goes on

We are a people with hope

Look unto our faces shining like the stars

Black Ambition. Black precision, the journey is ours

Some of us, we never knew what to do with this all Black

Yeah we never knew we had it like that

The power in the veins, the hope through the rain

Yeah, we never knew our melanin was poppin like that

But now we're wiser, stronger. Proud of the melanin

Prettier, littier. There's no equivalent

Proud of it all, Blackedy Black Black

Now put your fists up if you're poppin like that
