[00:04.145]Don't die on me
[00:06.879]I said-
[00:08.252]Young black king don't die on me
[00:11.645]You my brother, you my keeper, I need you to keep an eye on me
[00:16.336]And no more fightin' on the streets
[00:17.628]Walking' around with all this pride on me
[00:20.202]Shit, shits tough for us already, know that you can still rely on me
[00:24.496]Please, just stay alive for me
[00:26.154]And my young black queens don't quit now
[00:29.161]Yeah, you're the only ones that got us
[00:31.462]I could never let my sis down
[00:33.928]You've been too strong for too long, yet still you never sit down
[00:38.071]Wow, that's the power of your lovin'
[00:40.345]And that's worthy of a king's crown
[00:42.387]And still you never let your kings down
[00:44.142]Even though more time we don't deserve it
[00:46.742]The picture isn't pretty but it's perfect
[00:48.844]Tedious pressures so then I curve it
[00:51.162]Serena or Venus the way I serve it
[00:53.289]I'm Malorie Blackman the way I sell books
[00:55.562]I jump on the stage and then the world looks
[00:57.886]All that bangin' on my door had my girl shook
[01:00.036]Like, "sorry officer I only sell hooks"
[01:02.270]Leave me alone, every little end I took I held across the home
[01:05.369]Live and you learn, they'll always hate me for my tone
[01:07.471]For the shade of my skin and all the courage in my bones
[01:09.770]Now I'm misunderstood now feelin' like Nina Simone
[01:12.323]They way I tour the world would've thought that I was Simz
[01:14.471]See her on stage, I know that women can be kings
[01:16.694]I know that's ****ed, they're overlooking what you bring
[01:18.804]I know shits so good, but it's just the little things
[01:21.162]Black queen, you're immaculate
[01:24.609]It's comin' out the world, they ain't ready for your magic yet
[01:28.792]And that was never your fault, man I guess they couldn't hack it yet
[01:33.220]World domination, and you ain't even takin' off your jacket yet
[01:36.989]So effortlessly fabulous
[01:38.421]And my young black kings I hope it pays off
[01:43.709]Go and show 'em what you're made of
[01:47.109]Try to scare us with some things that we are no longer afraid of
[01:52.226]And you're superheroes, let me see you take off
[01:54.920]I pray you never take your cape off
[01:56.626]Even though more time we don't fly straight
[01:59.170]But trust me bro, I promise we gon' die great
[02:01.421]Our burdens are heavy but we ain't lightweight
[02:03.655]Our parents were legends, they had to migrate
[02:05.595]So that's the reason not to sit around and chat shit
[02:07.858]I'm from the place where Michael Dapaah made a smash hit
[02:10.128]Where you can be a rapper if you rap sick
[02:12.343]Just scream one more flippin' time to be a black Brit
[02:14.670]We so alive, whole world want our demise but now we ride
[02:17.874]Try to push us all to the side, we know our rights
[02:20.145]Now we get the whole of the pie, then go inside
[02:22.254]When we see that American flag in the sky, just now it's aight
[02:24.657]Way I top the charts, would've thought that I was Dave
[02:26.976]I am young, black, beautiful and brave
[02:29.275]I know that's ****ed, they overlooking what they gave us
[02:31.486]I know that shits so good so we pray for better days
[02:33.627]Pray they better than before
[02:37.142]Young black king you are everything and more
[02:41.606]I know one song's not enough to settle scores
[02:45.894]But from the bottom of my heart, man I hope you're gettin' yours
[02:49.458]Man I hope you're gettin' yours
[02:51.369]Young black queen get your shine on
[02:55.391]All I see is innovators and a bag of icons
[02:59.602]You can go and ask the whole world where they got their style from
[03:03.542]That's you, that's us, lost time and he never gets the time wrong
[03:07.444]I guess we're just some ticking time bombs
[03:10.411]I can make my world come true
[03:12.673]All my dreams will see me through
[03:14.895]And if that will get me down
[03:17.222]My dreams will turn things all around
[03:19.493]Put a smile upon my face
[03:21.792]I can see a better place
[03:23.575]Doesn't matter what will come my way
[03:26.373]Believe me now, I will win some day
