Smoke DZA - Black Independence lyrics

[Verse 1:] From the Ivory Coast To Bronxville Best up, St. Louis, Detroit Memphis, Jackson, Rosewood, Harlem This is toaster before the bombers Black Wall Street We hall heat cus we want options Made it through America's great adoptions Went from being stuck to getting stacked Hustling box to hidden racks They fashion our design cus we don't slack They fear the idea of independence being black [Verse 2:] Uh! What's the business? I am the realest They give you the fantasy story, here go the realness If a rapper ain't goin shows he's probably slow Cus most n***as doin it always be on the road No 3-60's less it's weight spinnin Them whack deals ain't designed for no n***as winnin I'm over the weak advances Distribute yo own sh**, it's better chances Fightin the same battle was Ye But don't worry, we got the answer, sway Invest into yo dreams n***a What I created is what I rock today Ah, motivated times two You could do anything you out yo mind to No ownership, it ain't worth the deal On my Percy Miller sh**, I'm a persevere [Hook:] Black business Independently ran Black independence [Verse 3:] We make bread, break bread This is like dollar power The black dollar hour I hear cowards sayin why ya'll talkin about getting cash I want the teacher to read about us living in the projects in they history cla** That's what I'm on Tryin to get ya'll to look past getting on to getting loans Let's own the bank I don't about you But I want my great great great greats to be strive [Verse 4:] Independent as f**, I own me Publish sh**, merchandise, show money If I don't k** 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 gotta hold yo turf They'll try to give you what they want, n***a know your worth Uh, you'll get what you negotiate So stickin to yo guns is the only way Successful free agent, Couple homies fightin for they freedom while they caged in I ain't tryna be a lamb caged in Nah, I'm a need the whole enchilada n***a God bless you Criticize but you don't cut no checks so I respect you Really can't tell me sh**, look at my credentials [Hook:] Black business Independently ran Black independence [Verse 5:] Imagine a billion black billionaires Everybody happy, everybody livin fair We ain't no world dominance, just refuse to be dominated But we'll be accommodated Everything comes around full circle You can't mess up the rotation and laws of nature Tied up in vacations on layaway and payment plans f** fly kicks, I'm tryna put my feet in the sand And have enough to pay for land and other land [Verse 6:] 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-sign from no stars Just bars, my g Sinatra sh**, I did it my way and did me I'm just tryna be a better me They hate Sean like Tucson but they could never rob me from my legacy They hate Sean like Tucson but they could never rob me from my legacy Positive energy Peace to my brother, Dom Kennedy [Hook:] Black business Independently ran Black independence
