lirik lagu ziggy ramo - kids

[verse 1]
i’ve always known that i want to be a parent
but it’s become apparent, i don’t know if i could just be a parrot
havoc in this world got me thinking that i had it
haven’t even made it to twenty~four, but i’m ready to be pushing karats
’cause i ain’t want my son or daughter not to feel important
’cause the water ain’t washin’ the blackness off they skin
no matter how light they are, i know they blackness run deep within
i won’t ever let you tell them that they’re secondary
even though their elders haven’t seen them likе truman
yeah, it’s very scary, feelin’ like this obituary
that i fillеd full of truths could now become very handy
but i bite my tongue and i swallow my words
i let you have your two cents that you rehe~rs~d
of what you heard ’bout this inferior herd
of blacks that date back before english was a common verse
but now we converse ’bout who comes first
in common verse, we chuckle in english like chuck english in converse
we were primitive, but yet you thought you ruled a flat earth
now, i ain’t poking sticks at a boat of convicts
but y’all conviction needs to be fixed, it’s simple as this
don’t get defensive ’bout a black history
that y’all persist just didn’t exist

[chorus]
so i’ma tell my children everything they need to know
aboriginal, blak is beautiful
aboriginal, blak is beautiful
it is criminal to ever say otherwise
so i push through the pain for my kids’ lives
push through the hate for my kids’ lives
uh, for my kids’ lives
[verse 2]
ayy, you might hate me, how do your kids feel?
and if radio don’t play me, your kids will
our backs against the walls, we have hope still
see, if i don’t see change, my kids will
that’s all the drive i need to keep me satisfied
that’s all i need to help me sleep at night
and for the meantime, i just keep writing
freedom fighting, reciting the poems that i’m typing
young, black, educated man, so enlightened
tired of the liars when the truth so enticing
and i have hope that the youth want the truth
the facts are my bullets, i load a clip, and i shoot
uh, but godd~mn, it’s heavy sometimes
wouldn’t be honest if i didn’t say i lost my mind
i find, at times, that i lose my shine
crippled at the spine from bending backwards all the time, uh
inspired by the fire that was lit by the freedom riders
rest in peace, young elijah
taken too soon, he shoulda seen many moons
taken too soon, i couldn’t believe the f~cking news
i’m yelling, “rest in peace, ms dhu”
i couldn’t believe what police did to you, uh
i won’t let it happen again
parents shouldn’t bury their kids, this sh~t has to end, uh
[chorus]
so i’ma tell my children everything they need to know
aboriginal, blak is beautiful
aboriginal, blak is beautiful
it is criminal to ever say otherwise
so i push through the pain for my kids’ lives
push through the hate for my kids’ lives
uh, for my kids’ lives (yeah)
