BLACK BOY JOY Lyrics

Young black king you mean something

Don't let them tell you otherwise

And the melanin that runs deep is golden but they colour blind

So it's not everyday screw face in the pictures, or be camera shy

Sometimes smile

Make the sunshine

Black boy joy it's our time

Real men cry but we keep it pushing

If you're feeling down don't over look it

Even if you don't want talk about it you have to bite that bullet

We grew up dodging bullets

Some of us were throwing hands signs

So the dirt underneath these scars we can't even sanitise

But such is life

We kings nevertheless

And our rein is perpetuous

Durag matching the creps

So our style is effortless

You know what makes me wanna cry

When one of us die

We all die

They try change our destiny with statistics and stereotypes

But anything you wanna do

You can do it

Whether it's ball or music

If they try put a target on your back make sure you remove it

Go on touch the sky

Forever live on stick to your vision

Make smart decisions

Shoot your shot with precision

Be teachable and learn to listen

Remember

Suicide ain't the answer when tings aren't going well

I know we hardly talk about it

Please, protect your mental health

Find other black kings, surround yourself

Build repair pick up the ones who fell

I said build, repair and pick up the ones who fell

Young black king

Young black king

You can fly

Spread your wings

Young black king

Young black king

You can fly

Spread your wings

Young black king you mean something

Don't let them tell you otherwise

And the melanin that runs deep is golden but they colour blind

So it's not everyday screw face in the pictures or be camera shy

Sometimes smile, make the sunshine

Black boy joy it's our time

Young black king you mean something

Don't let them tell you otherwise

And the melanin that runs deep is golden but they colour blind

So it's not everyday screw face in the pictures, or be camera shy

Sometimes smile make the sunshine

Black boy joy it's our time

I deserve the world imma go get it

My skin colour ain't a weapon

I shine when the sun comes out that's a blessing

My flex is my complexion

I lean when I walk

Slang when I talk

From today my black boy joy is born

From today my black boy joy is born

Young black king you mean something

Don't let them tell you otherwise

And the melanin that runs deep is golden but they colour blind

So it's not everyday screw face in the pictures, or be camera shy

Sometimes smile make the sunshine

Black boy joy it's our time
