Care For You

Care, yes I do

You know I care

You know I care

Uh, beautiful Black child, let's have a conversation

Let's skip the contemplation

Let's talk more about moderation and modern-day shit

Let's learn Black love, take it back by the basis

We ain't even gotta fake shit

Beautiful Black women, help me to make you stronger

Help me to make me stronger

Help though it takes me as long as clock on the wall to get my act right and make me call hеr

Help me to make you bеtter, help me, I'll take you farther

All these insecurities play on your mind currently

Dealt with pain durably

And here I come inside of the bathroom, makin' it worse, blamin' you for the pain hurtin' me

We need God urgently

Lately, I've been workin' your feelings while on my workin' spree

Lately, I've been hurtin' your feelings, meanwhile, it's hurtin' me

Maybe I've been all in my feelings, tryna get back to you

Lately, I've been mindin' my bidness, tryna get back at you

Help me more to understand, it's traumas in my past that make me talk loud and lash at you

Sorry for the times my attitude mix with the status too

We've been smokin' weed and gettin' drunk, and mixin' bad in too

Fuck all that status, I'm tryna get back the back with you

Beautiful Black mothers, you raised so many of us

They build abortion clinics by your house to take you from us

Beautiful Black fathers, I know your back against the wall

You goin' hard but don't you let these people take you from us

We thuggin' hard, niggas die in the summer

Who gon' supply for our sons? Who gon' supply for our daughters?

We can't leave it to section eight to provide like a father

We can't leave our kids with these people decidin' the order

Last time I checked, nigga, we was decidin' the culture

Last time I checked, nigga, that's what decided the order

Last time I checked, nigga, we was controllin' the trend

Same one that got white kids Tik-Tokin' and woah'ing again

People been stealin' from us in blind sight

White people payin' Black blogs to damage us and self-damage us on all online sites

Shade Room, y'all ain't hidin', twenty million followers

To Black folk, you gotta be more positive

Even though your investor's a white guy named Bryce Robins

Is it worth explorin' the Black culture for the measly a hunnid thousand dollars?

Look Angelica, it ain't worth it

You a Black queen that push your scene above the surface

And we love you for that active drive and purpose

But it's time you take that hunnid thou', reverse it

Work it back into our communities, rehabilitate the unity

Young Black women shinin', don't be confused by my lines

Before they up and tryna take 'em and reconfuse as some hatred, listen

My Black child, I'm sayin' this 'cause I love you

But love ain't come with the lessons that's gon' live life all above you

The police gon' hate up on you, the government's never for you

But you can rise all above it as long as you keep your lovin'

I say this just 'cause I care

And I care for you, for you

And I'm there for you, I'm there for you

And I care for you, for you

And I'm there for you, I'm there for you

I was never good in school but smart enough to see the signs

Behind the fuckery and lies of the system and how they try

The grand plan is to separate us, tear us down, conquer divide

The main plan was to have the Black man silenced

And though, of course, we used our voice to override it

They influenced us by usin' niggas our color to talk 'bout drugs and violence and signed 'em

They made Black women talk more sex and less what they mind is

'80s all through the the '90s, like who the fuck is behind this?

You awake to remind us, I equate to remind ya

Business, they told you mind ya, listen and you ain't find your

Self inside of this war, the devil dive in your door

My Black skinned, Christians, know the devil pry at your more

My beautiful Black daughters, the ones who lash out in class

Out of anger, that angle the fact they had no fuckin' fathers

Or the ones they had would touch they daughters

We never knew 'cause they was quiet in school

No one supports them and the affection only came from fuck niggas that love in portions

Or some older cats that never made love, to fuck they forced it

But it's the way that love was taught to you, shawty

Nobody taught it, you gotta know that ain't your fault

You tryna tear your mind comparin' yourself to someone who's brought up in family genes

That means mother, father is present on family tree

That mean you don't take all the blame 'cause they wasn't there

That just mean you a Black queen whose life wasn't fair

But God give unfair to the favorites

None heirs to the hatred

Tests that bring you faith when it's unclear what the fate is

People talk 'bout your untamed hair, hey, it's my favorite

Dark skin and light skin, and love you for what your shade is

It's Black

Unapologetic and Afrocentric

With enough curve and ass for me to not have to mention all of my afro-hension

With natural hair, you fierce, they told you had to have extentions

That was cappin' past the fiction

Shawty, you a whole ninth inning, championship, when you batting that shit up past the fences

You know I'm past attentive, let's make some last decisions

My Black child, I'm sayin' this 'cause I love you

But love ain't come with the lessons that's gon' live life all above you

The police gon' hate up on you, the government's never for you

But you can rise all above it as long as you keep your lovin'

I say this just 'cause I care

And I care for you, for you

And I'm there for you, I'm there for you

And I care for you, for you

And I'm there for you, I'm there for you
