So you don't feel protected by the black man
Feel like some are lacking too much to attach I got your back then
Yeah, I got your back then
You don't feel protected by the black man
When you feeling attacked and need
Somebody to latch I got your back then
Yeah, I got your back then
I guess the plan worked
They put crack in the homes that took the black
Fathers out to a darker route it all became a cancer
Left mama broke with no money in her damn purse
She raised daughters who was raped by they uncles
They kept the secret hidden for years and it haunt them
Skin darker feeling like nobody want them
Give him your body and he left you in the morning
I'm understanding why you not feeling protected
In society, you rarely accepted
At work you get rejected
When you date you feel neglected
But in a black queen where black men are invested
But it take action
Less words less caption
I'm thinking less reacting
And more relaxing
You know listening to your passion
I guess that's why I'm asking
So you don't feel protected by the black man
Feel like some are lacking too much to attach I got your back then
Yeah, I got your back then
You don't feel protected by the black man
When you feeling attacked and need
Somebody to latch I got your back then
Yeah, I got your back then
So you don't need someone that's gone shower
You with gifts you just want someone that ain't
Gone overpower you
Make some time out they day spend about an hour two
Now run off on you when it's deep that's what a coward do
Y'all gotta learn to put them boys to the curb
When you really wanna feel safe and your voice to be heard
When you only see so much its hard knowing your worth
When nobody show the way to start everybody wanna play it smart
Heard people out here breaking hearts
I ain't rapping trying to play the part
I'm just feeding life to replace the dark
Right is the only way to play these cards
Our ancestors wasn't about patriarch
Yeah, they hit the studio to make the charts
I hit the studio to make a mark
When it come to our women I gotta set the bar
Set the bar
So you don't feel protected by the black man
Feel like some are lacking too much to attach I got your back then
Yeah, I got your back then
You don't feel protected by the black man
When you feeling attacked and need
Somebody to latch I got your back then
Yeah, I got your back then
I got your back then
I got your back then
You don't feel protected by the black man
I got your back then
I got your back then
I got your back then
Feel like some are lacking too much to attach I got your back then
Yeah, I got your back then
You don't feel protected by the black man
When you feeling attacked and need
