[Intro]
Don't die on me
I said
[Chorus]
Young black king, don't die on me
You my brother, you my keeper, I need you to keep an eye on me
And no more fightin' on the streets
Walking 'round with all this pride on me
Well, shit, shit's tough for us already, know that you can still rely on me
Please, just stay alive for me
And my young black queens, don't quit now
Yeah, you're the only ones that got us
I could never let my sis' down
You've been too strong for too long, yet still you never sit down
Wow, that's the power of your lovin'
And it's worthy of a king's crown
And still, you never let your kings down
[Verse 1]
Even though more time we don't deserve it
The picture isn't pretty but it's perfect
Tedious pressure so then I curve it
Serena or Venus, the way I serve it
I'm Malorie Blackman the way I sell books
I jump on the stage and then the world looks
All that bangin' on my door had my girl shook
Like, "Sorry officer, I only sell hooks"
Leave me alone, every little L I took I held it close to home
Live and you learn, they'll always hate me for my tone
For the shade of my skin and not the courage in my bones
Now I'm misunderstood, now feelin' like Nina Simone
They way I tour the world, would've thought that I was Simz
See her on stage, I know that women can be kings
I know that it's fucked, they're overlookin' what you bring
I know shit's all good, but it's just the little things
Don't die on me
I said
[Chorus]
Young black king, don't die on me
You my brother, you my keeper, I need you to keep an eye on me
And no more fightin' on the streets
Walking 'round with all this pride on me
Well, shit, shit's tough for us already, know that you can still rely on me
Please, just stay alive for me
And my young black queens, don't quit now
Yeah, you're the only ones that got us
I could never let my sis' down
You've been too strong for too long, yet still you never sit down
Wow, that's the power of your lovin'
And it's worthy of a king's crown
And still, you never let your kings down
[Verse 1]
Even though more time we don't deserve it
The picture isn't pretty but it's perfect
Tedious pressure so then I curve it
Serena or Venus, the way I serve it
I'm Malorie Blackman the way I sell books
I jump on the stage and then the world looks
All that bangin' on my door had my girl shook
Like, "Sorry officer, I only sell hooks"
Leave me alone, every little L I took I held it close to home
Live and you learn, they'll always hate me for my tone
For the shade of my skin and not the courage in my bones
Now I'm misunderstood, now feelin' like Nina Simone
They way I tour the world, would've thought that I was Simz

I know that it's fucked, they're overlookin' what you bring
I know shit's all good, but it's just the little things
