[Part 1: Black Joy]

[Intro]
No no no no no

[Verse 1]
A melanated mother looking at her newborn
A black boy, he see his father in his true form
Strong, vulnerable, grace and poise, and lovable
Ungovernable, ride or die on we thuggin' to
Fondness, tenderness, caring, endearment
Intimacy, spirits you can feel it
Beloved, up above it always covered I can feel it
Thriving always flourishing, somebody tryna to kill it
But we
Stay resilient as the world stay spinning
Stay feeling with that love healing
I feel unity
Mutiny against my oppressors is what be moving me
Love with no power sentimentally
Empower no love, it is tyranny you feeling me?
Warmth and connection to my people most critically
Black love criminalized, seen as a threat
To white supremacy on every corner of the map

[Bridge]
My love
It’s on
Your face
They look
