Black Independence Lyrics - Smoke Dza

Black Independence 

Smoke DZA 

Ft: J. Ivy 

Share 

From the Ivory Coast to Brownsville 

Bed-Stuy, St. Louis, Detroit 

Memphis, Jackson, Rosewood, Harlem 

This is Tulsa before the bombings 

Black Wall Street 

We haul heat 'cause we want options 

Made it through America's great adoption 

Went from being stuck to getting stacked 

Hustling blocks to getting racks 

They fashion our design 'cause we don't slack 

They fear the idea of independence being black

Ariana Grande Adds Her Own Verse To "Last Christmas" 

Riiiight! Uh! What's the business? I am the business 

They give you the fantasy story, here go the realness 

If a rapper ain't doing no shows its probably slow 

'Cause most niggas doing it always be on the road 

No 3-60's less it's waves spinning 

Them whack deals ain't designed for no niggas winning 

I'm over the weak advances 

Distribute your own shit, it's better chances 

Fighting the same battle as Ye 

But don't worry, we got the answer, Sway 

Invest into your dreams nigga 

What I created is what I rock today 

Uh, motivated times two 

You could do anything you put your mind to 

No ownership, it ain't worth the deal 

On my Percy Miller shit, I'ma persevere

Black business 

Independently ran 

Black independence 

We make bread, break bread 

This is black dollar power 

The black dollar hour 

I hear cowards saying why y'all talking about getting cash 

I want the future to read about us living in the projects in they history class 

That's what I'm on 

Trying to get y'all to look past getting on to getting loans 

Let's own the bank 

I don't know about you 

But I want my great great great greats to be straight 

Independent as fuck, I own me 

Publish shit, merchandise, show money 

If I don't kill my food I won't eat 

You see all my moves, that's all me 

Controlling my own destiny 

Knowing the value of my equity 

You got to hold your turf 

They'll try to give you what they want, nigga know your worth 

Uh, you'll get what you negotiate 

So sticking to your guns is the only way 

Successful free agent 

Couple homies fighting for they freedom while they caged in 

I ain't tryna be on land caged in 

Nah, I'ma need the whole enchilada nigga 

God bless you 

Criticize but you don't cut no checks so I respect you 

Really can't tell me shit, look at my credentials 

Imagine a billion black billionaires 

Everybody happy, everybody living fair 

We ain't on world dominance, just refuse to be dominated 

We will be accommodated 

Everything comes around full circle 

You can't mess up the rotation and laws of nature 

Tired of putting vacations on layaway and payment plans 

Fuck fly kicks, I'm tryna put my feet in the sand 

And have enough to pay for land and other land 

I'm my own boss 

Touring like 40 days and 40 nights 

The tour bus turned into an arc 

Who else you know sell out shows in Denmark 

No deal, no big co-signs from no stars 

Just bars, my G 

Sinatra shit, I did it my way and did me 

I'm just tryna be a better me 

They hate Sean (Ha-tian like Tussaint but they could never rob me from my legacy 

They ha-tian like Tussaint but they could never rob me from my legacy 

Positive energy 

Peace to my brother, Dom Kennedy
