[Intro]
Yeah
Yeah, yeah
Uh, uh
Yeah
Yeah
[Verse 1]
This is just a celebration of the innovation
'Cause they always seem to leave us out the conversation
So this is our occasion
It's for my mother's nation
This is congratulations
For all the Black creations
Pops told me I should go and get an education
'Cause they ain't ever gonna give us any reparations
Grandaddy was around through the segregation
They tried to kill him, but it's funny how the pressure made him
Now they say that we're plain sailing
But racism ain't fading
Pretend like it ain't draining
We built this city, I struggled to stay sane in
Whole world hate us, there's no one I ain't blaming
Oppression just ain't changing
Struggles we're still facing
I'm in the shop and security's eyes gazing
It's hard changing a system that ain't failing
It was built this way, don't worry, I'm maintaining
Yeah
Yeah, yeah
Uh, uh
Yeah
