Black Excellence

Lyrics

Hey yo Netflix cut Monique a check
 And give her what she worth
 Let her earn so we get it when we get our turn
 Race and gender always part of the agenda
 Imagine if we all came together like Avengers
 From the fringes to pop-culture mainstream
 Even though my name seems
 Politically incorrect I'm still threat
 Like Alcinder at the rim staring at the winter
 Like Kaepernick on his knee like an Aborigi
 Just a tad richer and a tad is relative
 Reminisce my days past had spat with relatives
 Sprinkle some western education mixed with melanin
 Tell a friend to tell my friend
 My opps took an "L" again
 Duke Ellington smooth not what they tell you at school
 If you don't research I can tell you a fool
 Buying more shit so you fit more they slept on me
 So I snuck through while
 They snored this what I'm built for
 Killgore slash king without the decor
 Non shaded untainted my fabric my raw
 When I got back from Comores?
 I was lost and confused
 A young adult still with something to prove
 Had to shake it up and move
 That's the best thing I ever did
 Caught ya attention like a chick with a big pair of tits
 Getting paid for conversation that's my type of life
 I had to try quench my insatiable appetite
 Once In a blue moon Cheese puffs and blue moons
 In my boom boom room we hit it off boom boom
 Whats ya definition of a coon?
 Let's set the rules so we can kick em
 All out and make room
 Black Excellence
 Black excellence what does that mean?
 Being black excellent with an immaculate team?
 Being black and relevant thats an industry term
 Having melanin?
 And hitting the epitome curve?
 Is it uplifting or marketing?
 Am I drifting?
 Is it pitch to make money and another gimmick?
 To fool blacks and other into buying a product?
 Is it for profit?
 And is there something wrong profit?
 Is a benchmark?
 For all to strive to reach for?
 Is it detour?
 An insecurity hiding a deep flaw?
 Is it really the best?
 Who selects em?
 People in power?
 Making money off of our affection?
 Black excellence I like that term
 Cause why not?
 Try to be best in all your work
 You push me i push you pull me I pull you
 Cause I don't see any other way we gonna pull thru
 This terrain complex full of pain and bomb threat
 Frame of mind of a young bull mix with a calm vet
 If it's about progress then I'm on deck
 You can miss me with all the rest you on the wrong thread
 And If you ain't about the people you a non-threat
 Cause without the action black excellence is just a concept
 We got the rock now lets run the play
 Black excellence minus the black on black gun-play
 And that's on any given Sunday we done prayed
 We gonna raise the bar
 Born from the particles that make stars
 My job is to somehow persuade them
 To get more aware of themselves and where they came
 From and what they are into and what's already there
 And to bring it out
 This is what compels me to compel them
 And I will do it by whatever means necessary
