Worthy - Dave B.

Black skin on me look good

White man hate me what’s new

No price can’t sell my soul

Tell me what I been through

I’m emotionally broke

I can’t afford it

I know my life through yo lens

It’s less important

I was born a descendant of slaves and poverty

Polished my frame of mind

Now it’s really nobody stopping me

Auctioning off my ancestors

Damn the devil been workin how much is a life worth

He couldn’t breathe, we suffocating from the trauma since birth

Yes sir no sir

Fuck you both sir

Hands-on dashboard

Had plans to grow sir

Had no plans on dying for being as black as I am

I’m unlearning they fed us a bunch of lies

And they kept on moving the totem and told us to fuckin climb it

And I’m supposd to give a fuck bout yo Target?

Google is free I’m don educating white folk

Fuck that black screen and them story posts I’m still not sold

Grandma worked for the panthers this is deja vu

I gotta make that call soon and check on you

Just know you worthy

It was designed to bring you down but you still worthy

You didn’t like the way I said it but you heard me

It’s too much love out here and I know I’m worthy

We not protecting our black women enough

How you comin down on her always she stay building you up

Seeking refuge end up dead

And wonder why she don’t trust

Niggas love to hate they selves and that’s all they offer up

I need a new perspective

We need more access to the therapy we been neglecting

I know my answers lie in elders need to stop deflecting

Need to start making them calls and learn myself a lesson

Wrote this on Father’s Day while fathers get took away to this day Because yo

mutha fuckin fragile racist system

Got a laundry list of demands that you choose to ignore

So we got even louder brought that sh*t to your door

It’s too late for being in quiet

Ain’t no going back to normal

Shit was never even normal

And I can’t say I ain’t avoid some awkward conversation searching For some

understanding but that’s what the whole thread w the Homies is for

Just know you worthy

It was designed to bring you down but you still worthy

You didn’t like the way I said it but you heard me

It’s too much love out here and I know I’m worthy
