[Intro]
Ah, ah
Oh, oh
[Verse 1]
Speak of the devil and he shall appear
Maybe that why all the rappers talk about now
Is money, cars and gear
If I'm wrong, so be it
But that's all I hear
Unapologetically black
Unapologetically, me
More to the life than what you see
If it's more, what can it be?
Judging by what don't matter
How we talkin' bout clothes and cars
While our blood splatter?
Take our life as collateral
In front, but we still looking back
For the lateral
Real pain, fake world
Let's take the antidote
I ain't talking Adderall
I'm already focused
So much on my mind
Tryna find a way to share my notion
And this music is the potion
All love and happiness
Forget the shooting and commotion
Wasting energy on beef and pettiness
Don't focus on the negative
No matter how hard it get
Live life, to the fullest
Can't look back in 60 years
And your whole life filled with regret
[Chorus]
Unapologetic
I'm in love with my culture
Won't let you disrespect it
Almost forgot your crown queen
Don't neglect it
Our history is who we are
So we must protect it
Black and proud
Loudly I confess it
Unapologetic
I'm in love with my culture
Won't let you disrespect it
Almost forgot your crown queen
Don't neglect it
Our history is who we are
So we must protect it
Black and proud
Loudly I confess it
[Verse 2]
Confessions of a black man
Student in more ways than one
And no I've never been arrested
Never took the stand
Knock on wood
Cuz what's understood is never
Fully explained
Rookie cops out here
Never fully been trained
Treat us like wild animals
Never fully been tamed
What will your legacy mean
When they remember your name?
Will it always be the same?
“Oh, yea he was this and that
A drug dealing boul
No aspirations type of cat”
But forget that
I want more
You come from royalty
Kings and queens, even Moors
Greatness what I'm looking for
No need looking down there on the dirty floor
Look up to the sky
You alive
That's a blessing boul
Not too many folks get to live too close to 24
Let alone a few years more
You only get one life to live
In this soap opera
Make it count my brother
Go forth and prosper
[Chorus]
Unapologetic
I'm in love with my culture
Won't let you disrespect it
Almost forgot your crown queen
Don't neglect it
Our history is who we are
So we must protect it
Black and proud
Loudly I confess it
Unapologetic
I'm in love with my culture
Won't let you disrespect it
Almost forgot your crown queen
Don't neglect it
Our history is who we are
So we must protect it
Black and proud
Yeah
