Wrapped in Black Lyrics

The blood of the ancestors in my veins

Hair to the heavens from whence we came

Reflection of the ether that forever remains

Where the Sun never sets and planets rotate

Bones may break but the skin don't crack

Resilient spirits that's stay in tact

Feeling no shame cuz I'm proud of the fact

I came into this world Wrapped in Black

Wrapped in Black

Wrapped in Black

I came into this world wrapped in Black

Wrapped in Black

Wrapped in Black

I came into this world

I asked my Son if he'd like to look God in the eye

Took him outside and introduced him to the night sky

Because the truth is there exists no truer vision

In any religion; Muslim, Buddhist, Jew or Christian

Then the mighty dark abyss we're all suspended in

Motion brought time in our beginning but there is no end

Then I pointed to the melanin within my Son's skin and

Let him know that it's a reflection of God's perfection within him

Because his enemies will lie and have him thinking bad

About himself if I let them and never did the math

God is the outer space of all that can't be contained

No form no Frame unchained and untamed

And since our Enemies aint playing no games

Might need to cock back and aim for the right to remain

That's why the day you were born

Was the day your life begun

As a warrior prepared to build and kill for our freedom

That's what's up

See we aint like them other figures

And hell naw

We aint trying to play no games with them

Cause we know who the problem is

And what we got to do to get with them why

I write in the night to bring truth to the light

You damn right, the truth is never far from your sight Son

Your melanin's a piece of God that lies at your center

So if you're ever seeking strength take a look in the mirror

You know the business

The blood of the ancestors in my veins

Hair to the heavens from whence we came

Reflection of the ether that forever remains

Where the Sun never sets and planets rotate

Bones may break but the skin don't crack

Resilient spirits that's stay in tact

Feeling no shame cuz I'm proud of the fact

I came into this world Wrapped in Black

Wrapped in Black

Wrapped in Black

I came into this world wrapped in Black

Wrapped in Black

Wrapped in Black

I came into this world
