La chanson

Black Entrepreneur (2020) de Pharrell Williams ft Jay-Z

I am black ambition

I am always whisperin'

They keep tellin' me I will not

But my will won't listen

Gravity on a black man

With everything on his back and

His family and passion

If the doors ain't crackin'

You gotta let go (let go)

If you wanna fly, take the leap

You gotta risk it all (risk it all)

Or there'll be lots of things you'll never see

You gotta let, let go

'Cause you never know

What's in store

Mr. Entrepreneur

In this position with no choice

A system imprison young black boys

Distract with white noise

The brainwashed become hype boys

Third eye dilate

You ain't supposed to make it off Section 8

Robbin' Peter just to pay Paul

Prepare to risk everything

You need to let go (let go)

If you wanna fly, take the leap

You gotta risk it all (risk it all)

Or there'll be lots of things you'll never see

Remember, black is space

And it's the color of your face

There will be no sunny days

If Black went away

[Chorus]

Black man, Black man, Black man

Black man, Black man, Black man

Black man, Black man, Black man

Black man, Black man, Black man

Black man, Black man, Black man

Black man, Black man, Black man

Black man, Black man, Black man

Black man, Black man, Black man

Black man, Black man, Black man

Black man, Black man, Black man

Black man, Black man, Black man

Black man, Black man, Black man

Black man, Black man, Black man

Black man, Black man, Black man

Black man, Black man, black man

Black man, Black man, Black man

Don't go chasin' waterfalls

Please stick to the drip that you're used to

They don't make 'em like they used to

Uh, lies told to you

Through YouTubes and Hulus

Shows with no hues that look like you do

Black Twitter, what's that?

When Jack gets paid, do you?

For every one Gucci, support two FUBU's

Sippin' Crip-a-Cola

Consumer and a owner

'Til we all vertically integrated from the floor up

D’Ussé pour up

Sip Ace 'til I throw up

Like gang signs, 'cept I bang mines for both ya

Serial entrepreneur, we on our own

Stop sittin' around waitin' for folks to throw you a bone

If you can't buy the building, at least stock the shelf (word)

Then keep on stacking 'til you stocking for yourself, uh

See everything you place after black

Is too small a term to completely describe the act

Black nation, Black builder, Black entrepreneur

You in the presence of Black excellence and I'm on the board, Lord

[Repeat Chorus]
