lirik lagu jp reynolds - black paranoia/black vision
black paranoia
verse 1:
dreams can turn to nightmares
transform into something that you might fear
dark skin, hoody up
get paranoid like no light is here
what you seeing when you see me
i ain’t plotting i ain’t scheming
unless i’m getting my ben banneker on
i step outta the boat trying to handle the storm
woo! good god
it can all seem so bleak
i’m over here trying to sound the horn
all they hear is a screech
my presence is a breach
of any intention to kill my flow
but i refused to get beached
so ima scream until you hear me yo
hook:
i’m feeling like a problem ‘cause i don’t fit in a box
my body feeling alien, my stomach be in knots
black paranoia (4x)
feeling like a problem ‘cause i don’t fit in a box
if you try to shackle me i’m breaking off them locks
black paranoia (4x)
verse 2:
everyday when i leave my crib
i strategize what i’m gon bring with me
my headphones, my phone charge
and i never neglect to bring something to read
i be on my black black black black
i can face an attack tack tack tack
and that thing come around and i don’t get down
when i hear the sound of kak kak kak kak
they gon see when they search my corpse
howard thurman in the side, stored
so maybe i wasn’t liable
to be the oppos that they spy me for
oh, poor black boy
in the newspaper got another sad story
killed by the force or in gang territory
can’t walk nowhere without bags on me
(hook)
verse 3: isaiah j. tate
ooooo
the blacker the berry the sweeter the juice
and they looking thirsty
they ready to shoot
ready to light me up, i know the truth
i am not moved
my soul bulletproof
they hanging on corner with drugs in their boots
applied by the system
i call it a noose
what we gon’ do when they’re feeding us lies
put down the semi and pick up a book
and start feeding your mind
‘cause we ain’t go time
to ease up with our feet up
gotta get it
before they take us all in the middle of the city
got their hand on the trigger
got my hand on the bible
fists in the air
‘cause you know it’s black power
(hook)
black vision
hook:
black vision it be so bright
dream on
you got a special sight
black vision it be so bright
you can only see the stars at night
in darkness i see starlight
in darkness i see starlight
verse 1:
precognition
rapid eye twitching
welcome to the interst-tials of my sight sp-ce
with all that’s transpired
and the tears made of fire
you still lookin through me and you’re looking like grace
put your wings over eyes
now it’s wes over is
stay grounded in these roots
we believe we can fly
you see us in a different way we’re more than what they say we are
they try to put me in a cage, instead i’m penning cajun bars
in spite of all the wrong done to us
you let a sweet song to come through us
they stop and frisk us
they’re closing schools
we live and love
we’re changing rules
glimpses refined by divinity’s design
senses sublime ‘stead of empty and resigned
nothing can take this hope from me
i’m glad u came in the night and spoke to me
black vision
(hook)
verse 2: li
i remember when we used to socialize
about our lives
and realize that life was such a blessing
even in the midst of pain
we would gain the knowledge
to understand a setback is a setup for a lesson
but now the world is getting colder
gotta look over my shoulder
for the ones who can’t admit my black is beauty
full of hatred
my soul is aching
they trying to strip us of our melanin
and get us naked
but i’m here to bring the power back
black vision
something like a rosa parks
but a little different
something for the hood
mixed with a little christian
yall see they killed jesus christ
but he still living
that’s black vision
that’s black vision
(hook)
