Smoke DZA ft. J. Ivy – Black Independence Ringtone
From the Ivy codes the Bronx ville
Best start, Saint Louis, Detroit
Memphis, Jackson, … Harlem
This is toasted before the bomb is
Black Wall Street!
We hold he, cause we want options
Made it through America’s great adoption
Worked from being stacked to giving stacks
Hustling box to getting racks
They fashion our design,
Cause we don’t slack!
They fear the idea of independence being black!
What’s the business, I am the business
They give you the fairness history, here go the realness
If a rap ain’t doing no shows, it’s quiet slow
Cause most niggas doing it always be on the road.
Load 3-60, lest his weight spinning
Them whack deals ain’t designed for no niggas winning!
I’m over the week advances
.. to put your own shit, it’s better chances!
Fighting the same battle was yey!
But don’t worry, me got the answers sway!
Invest into your dreams, nigga!
What I create is what I rock today!
Uh, motivated times, chill!
You can do anything you put your mind to
No ownership it ain’t worth the deal
On my .. shit I’mma persevere!
Black business
Independently read
Black independence, uh!
We make bread, break bread, this is like dollar power,
The black dollar our!
I hear cowards say, “why y’all talking about getting cash?
I want the feature to read about us
Living in the project in their history class
That’s what I’m on!
Trying to get y’all to live past
Getting on, get loans
It’s all in the bank!
I don’t know about you,
But I want my great great greats to be straight!
Uh, independence is fucked, I own me!
Power shit, merchandise, show money!
If I don’t kill my food, I don’t eat
You see all my moves, that’s all me!
Controlling my own destiny
Knowing the value of my equity
You gotta hold your turf,
They’re trying to give you what you want,
Nigga, I know your worth, uh!
You get what you negotiate
From sticking to your guns it’s the only way
Successful free age and a couple homies
Fighting for their freedom while they caged them
I ain’t trying to be all in, caged in
No, I’mma need the whole…
Bless you for the sides, but you don’t cut no checks out, respect you!
Really can’t tell me shit, look at my credentials, uh!
Black business
Independently read
Black independence, uh!
Imagine the billion, black billionaires
Everybody happy, everybody living fair
We ain’t no word dominates
Just refuse to be dominated
We will be accommodated…
