Cameron London, Dero Quenson - Blackkk Luxury Lyrics

Losses turn to lessons over many years
When you got this kinda power it ain't much to fear
Made mistakes that led me to my darkest nights
But made amends and corrected with a golden light
Chased a dollar and a dream with hopes of a land
That spreads love and judge off the soul of a man
Not off his pockets or the skin on the back of his hands
Life as a villain was as simple as listing demands
Swimming in wealth feel myself becoming a scrooge
I'm well aware of the system that want me to lose
Success plagued, my hard work delayed
They see me for my sins
And not the lives I saved
If I'm successful they'll think that I sold my soul
If I reach my potential they'll think that I played a role
And ignore all of the sacrifices made
The blackkk luxury of life
Is I price I'll never pay
If money could buy you happiness
You'd spend it right
Or would you move through the hood
Like a thief at night
They say money don't change a man
It just magnify
But I guess you'll never know if you never try
This just a taste of black luxury
Black businesses free of black puppetry
This just a taste of black luxury
You see the name
This is nothing introductory
Blackkk luxury
Caused by blackkk chains
Blackkk history
Blackkk death
And Blackkk pain
Will black lives ever know peace
When blackkk change
Cause all that we see these days
Is black slain
Everything was started when we hopped up off that Amistad
All the closed minds ain't getting fed
They will not survive
I'm trynna build up with my people, you know multiply
Done being food, can't play the rules
They want genocide
Just another
Who want gold on his face
Just another
Who want land and a wraith
Just another
Who want ice for the pain
This for my kings and my queens, we gon reign
I study the greatest while I'm rapping on these sheets
This for my unborn babies, you gotta watch for the police
Don't be a hostage held down, free my dogs off the leash
We gon pop up out that bubble, we gon float on everything
I think it's funny bout this white man money
Have a black man wilding
That man don't look like me, no
Ain't nobody smiling, it's more than race to me
What happen to them Harriet Tubman's
You gotta be buggin
If money could buy you happiness
You'd spend it right
Or would you move through the hood
Like a thief at night
They say money don't change a man
It just magnify
But I guess you'll never know if you never try
This just a taste of black luxury
Black businesses free of black puppetry
This just a taste of black luxury
You see the name
This is nothing introductory
Blackkk luxury
Caused by blackkk chains
Blackkk history
Blackkk death
And Blackkk pain
Will black lives ever know peace
When blackkk change
Cause all that we see these days
Is black slain
If money could buy you happiness
You'd spend it right
Or would you move through the hood
Like a thief at night
They say money don't change a man
It just magnify
But I guess you'll never know if you never try
This just a taste of black luxury
Black businesses free of black puppetry
This just a taste of black luxury
