Lyrics and translation
Original
My mother, brother, sisters, all as black as me.
Cavalry don't end up in casualty.
Brother, please. You've been chattin' air, we heard you've been chattin' risk.
Don't get banged in the, don't get banged in the face, my guy.
Bar is low when the tension's high. Man dem try.
Yeah. Man dem die. Rest in peace when the race are grieving. What you speaking?
What you-- Them man call us blick.
What you think?
Will it stick?
Swim or sink. Them man call us blick.
What you think?
Will it stick?
Swim or sink. Yeah, them man call us blick. Yeah. What you think?
Will it stick? Uh.
Swim or sink. Uh. Them man call us blick. Yeah. What you think? Uh.
Will it stick? Uh. Swim or sink.
Ain't forgotten. I'm still aware of the feds. RIP to Duggan.
Better mark my words. The core is feeling rotten. Apple of their eye. Love to see us plummet.
Plummeting.
I see clouds to the thundering. Storm in a teacup where they're wondering.
I'll tell you what assumptions bring. Darker the skin, darker the conscience.
Tarnish the wind, dwell on the losses. Beauty remains lighter for optics.
Reasons are racist, but regardless, I've seen the pain, I fought the darkness.
I've seen the pain, I fought the darkness. I've seen the pain, I fought the darkness.
Drenched in the rain, catharsis. I've seen the pain, I fought the darkness.
I've seen the pain, I fought the darkness.
I am the darkness.
Them man call us blick.
What you think?
Will it stick?
Swim or sink. Them man call us blick.
What you think?
Will it stick?
Swim or sink. Yeah. Them man call us blick.
What you think?
Will it stick?
Swim or sink. Them man call us blick.
Yeah. What you think?
Will it stick?
Swim or sink.
