Look, I’m here for the young’uns with they pants saggin'

And homies is flaggin, some say 'What up cuz?'

or 'What's bracking?"

Nothin' lacking on the corner, bread stacking

Pray to God that nobody have to toe tag 'em

He ain’t be trapping in a minute

Use the re-up money for the tithes and the rent

Told his baby momma that he love her any minute

Pastor dipped him in that water after he repented

Granny told him he don’t need a souvenir in church

Straight up out the street, think he made the deacons nervous

We just tryna learn a word and keep from getting murdered

We be on that Kirk and Kendrick Sunday after service

You can call it worship, Tamir Rice done got us nervous

Innocent and killed like Christ is how they hurt us

But I’m here for that

Probably ain’t gonna get a lot of cheers for that

I just do it for the love, I do it for the love (I do it)

I do it for the broke and the poor, those all feel ignored

I’m here for that

Tell 'em we woke and we alert now

I promise there’s healing for your hurt now

Yeah, tell 'em we came to put in work now

Beauty and grace, beauty and grace

For my sisters who be fighting for that justice, uh, I’m here for that

Real fathers, loving on they wives and kids, I’m here for that

My wife is classy but a little ratchet, yeah I’m here for that

West coast feeling but I still live in the A homeboy, I’m here for that

When I walk on the courthouse judge feel the case out, definitely here for that

Y’know when that unexpected check comes in the mail, cuz, I’m here for that

Always here for that

Uh, always I’m here for that

Gotta love it, gotta love it, gotta love it, gotta love it

It means to be broadened, y’know, beyond the understanding that black women are

strong

Body and souls and so we’re not only strong, we are, we are helpers,

we are lovers, we are fighters, y’know, we, we love strong

But we are also human, y’know that mean’s we are vulnerable

Y’know we are, we hurt, y’know we ache, like everybody else

We need somebody, to, to be strong for us when we are taking the bumps,

the bruises we’re here on the frontlines, fighting so many battles that many

people are not privy to and so I think that

So y’know we are sisters, we are aunts, y’know we are deaconesses,

we are leaders in our churches, y’know, we are speakers, we are writers,

y’know we are corporate, y’know, CEO board executives

We are advocates, we need our brothers to stand up and defend black womanhood

Don’t silence us, y’know, be happy that we are here to enable you,

to empower you

But we also need that empowerment to go both ways
