Beyoncé (+) BLACK PARADE
Ah
I'm goin' back to the South
I'm goin' back back back back
Where my roots ain't watered down
Growin' growin' like a Baobab tree
Of life on fertile ground ancestors
Put me on game
Ankh charm on gold chain
S with my oshun energy oh
Drip all on me woo
Ankh or the Dashiki print
Hol' up don't I smell like
Such a nag champa incense?
Yeah pure ice ice buss down
Uh flooded flooded on my wrist out
Ooh goin' up goin' up
Motherland motherland drip on me
Ooh melanin melanin
My drip is skin deep like
Ooh motherland motherland
Motherland motherland drip on me
Ooh yeah I can't forget
My history is her story yeah
Being black maybe that's the reason why
They always mad yeah
They always mad yeah
Been past 'em I know that's the reason why
They all big mad and they always have been
Honey come around my way around my hive
Whenever momma says so momma say
Here I come on my throne sittin' high
Follow my parade oh my parade
Talkin' slick to my folk lift that lip like lipo
You hear them swarmin' right?
Bees is known to bite
Now here we come on our thrones sittin' high
Follow my parade oh my parade
Yeah yeah I'm for us all black
All chrome black owned
Black tints matte black
Roll by my window down let 'em see who in it
Crack a big smile
Go figure me and Jigga fifty 'leven children
They like Chick how?
I charge my crystals in a full moon
You could send them missiles
I'ma send my goons
Baby sister reppin' yemaya
Trust me they gon' need an army
Rubber bullets bouncin' off me
Made a picket sign off your picket fence
Take it as a warning
Waist beads from Yoruba
Four hunnid billi' mansa Musa
Stroll line to the barbeque
Put us any damn
Where we gon' make it look cute
Pandemic fly on the runway in my hazmat
Judgin' runnin' through the house
To my art all black
Ancestors on the wall
Let the ghosts chit chat
Hold my hands we gon' pray together
Lay down face down in the gravel
Woo wearin' all attire white to the funeral
Black love we gon' stay together
Curtis Mayfield on the speaker
Lil' malcolm Martin mixed with momma Tina
Need another march lemme call Tamika
Need peace and reparation for my people
Fuck these laid edges I'ma let it shrivel up
Fuck this fade and waves
I'ma let it dread all up
Put your fists up in the air show black love
Motherland drip on me
Motherland motherland drip on me
Honey come around my way around my hive
Whenever momma says so momma say
Here I come on my throne sittin' high
Follow my parade oh my parade
Talkin' slick to my folk lift that lip like lipo
Hear 'em swarmin' right?
Bees is known to bite
Now here we come on our
Thrones sittin' high
Follow my parade oh my parade
We got rhythm we got pride
We birth kings we birth tribes
Holy river holy tongue
Speak the glory feel the love
Motherland motherland drip on me
Hey hey hey
Motherland motherland drip on me
Hey hey hey
I can't forget my history it's her story
Motherland drip on me
Motherland motherland drip on me
Honey come around my way
Around my hive
Whenever momma says so momma say
Here I come on my throne sittin' high
Follow my parade oh my parade
Talkin' slick to my folk lift that lip like lipo
Hear 'em swarmin' right?
Bees is known to bite
Now here we come on
Our thrones sittin' high
Follow my parade oh black parade
