Substantial – What I Been Saying Lyrics
Artist: Substantial
Song: What I Been Saying
For my people
They can’t kill us although they try
Justice for all that alive
Fighting to live in a world till I die
Freedom 〈.?.〉
Ain’t sh#t but what I been sayin’
They tell us pray but we been prayin’
They tell us 〈.?.〉 but we been 〈.?.〉
They tell us march but we been marchin’
They talkin’ change but we been talkin’
Get it crackin’ and make it happen today
These mammoths blocking progress, let’s get them out of the way
400 years of struggle, how long are we supposed to wait?
Givin’ y’all solutions for problems we ain’t create
All these Black lives mattеr bruh, whether we on thе stage
In the streets, 〈.?.〉, making minimum wage
Get entranced, make you dance, do more than just entertain
This world ain’t sh#t without us, I know you know what I’m saying
I’m just sayin’
I’m just sayin’ what I been sayin’
Know what I’m sayin
They can’t kill us although they try
Justice for all that alive
Fighting to live in a world till I die
Freedom 〈.?.〉
Black father, Black artist with a Black business
Married to a Black woman, raising Black children
Black love, Black teacher sharing Black thoughts
Shoutout to Black 〈.?.〉
Fill the safe but they don’t guarantee my safety
Tryna rewrite history before they #ss erase me
Love me when I’m rappin’, I ask for action they hate me
Maybe the haters weak, because we’re everything that they can’t be
Tell me where’s the love for us, dirty cops on the hunt for us
System is unjust to us, some white folks think it’s just for us
School system ain’t helpin’ much, truthfully they’re f#ckin’ up
You’re one of us, Black women originated every one of us
Fam glorious, protected by 〈.?.〉
Look past at me, you’re my manifested to see the real me
But really, this moment feel different, I hope it stick
But I’m just sayin’ what I’ve been sayin’ on songs you skipped
Listen, I’m just sayin’
I’m just sayin’ what I’ve been sayin’
They can’t kill us although they try
Justice for all that alive
Fighting to live in a world till I die
Freedom 〈.?.〉
Blackity black, rappity rap’s on ya man
This is brought to you by a black dude named Stan
