[Intro: Dee-1]
Yeah, uh
You may encounter many defeats
But you are not to be defeated
[Verse]
Black is beautiful
Beauty is black
Our blemishes apparent
But the beauty intact
United by the journey that we're so familiar with
Sports, music, struggle
It's all in the black experience
From Martin and Coretta
Malcolm and Betty
We've learned from brave heroes
The burden is heavy
You could feel our pa**ion
All in our demeanor
I'm talking Queen Latifah to Queen Serena
Game, set, match
And I'm on the court
Ali became a world-leader
All through a sport
To not speak up is a crime
That's why LeBron wore "I CAN'T BREATHE" shirts
In the layup line
Different names
But all one in the same
I bet ya A.I. was bumping 2Pac pregame
Steph Curry told me he was bumping Dee-1
No lie
He throw them threes up high
And so do I
One love, none above, none beneath you
And Jim Brown touchdown
He still scoring points for his people
Love yourself, respect everyone
This for Trayvon, Tamir Rice
We reppin' for our fallen sons
You can't stop us
So please don't try
We fall down
We might stumble
But still we ride
I'm tryna blow like the beautiful horns of Miles Davis
John Coltrane, Cannonball Adderley rocking stages
Narrating our journey each time that I speak
And spread the truth wider than Dizzy Gillespie's cheeks
Our culture can never be deleted
Understand one thing
We all the undefeated
[Outro]
Yeah
Dee-1
The undefeated
Uh, be real, be righteous, and be relevant
Ya heard me?
Yeah!
