Appraise White Dave (Ft. Hit-Boy)

[Intro]
Mm, mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm
I was gonna rap there but I'm gonna rap here
Hit-Boy

[Verse 1]
Black skin, black as the space, black as the ash on a blunt
Black as the pavement, black as a spade, man
We are made men, roots go deep, we never caved in
But how can you appraise man?
This land splattered with plasma, niggas move forward, not backwards
Gift from their God, diamonds come from living this hard
Abducted by mobs, strung us up with hate in their hearts
My people are scarred, but wait, we still push on
Killed that kid on camera, still walking 'round hella comfy
Why they even let this man out? Fuck bail money
Badgеs on a license to kill, that nevеr was the case
Niggas get the shittiest deal, open, shut the case
Cops walk free, riddled bodies left uncovered
Let the whole hood see, this shit happens all the time
Being black is the crime, where I walk by design (Mm-hm)
Every day we put our lives on the line
My body ache from all the stress from my ancestors (Mm-hm)
We could influence the planet if we stand together
I've been losing sleep for a while cause home ain't even safe
Pigs really murdered Breonna in her own space
I admire all the teachings from my OGs
I was raised with religion and respect
Learned the value of the things that they told me
Said God don't forget and will collect
