[Lyric] What I Been Saying 2.0 (Substantial & Funky DL)

(‘Cause I… got) Substantial (got, got… got)
For my people (got something to say)
I’m just saying… (got something to say)
I’m just saying what I been saying (got something to say)
They can’t kill us all though they try
Justice for all been a lie (got something to say)
Fighting to live and I’ll brawl ‘til I die
Freedom is all in the mind (got something to say)

Ain’t shit but what I been saying
They tell us pray but we been praying
They tell us vote but we been voting, They tell us march but we
Been marching, they talking change but they been talking
Get it crackin and make it happen today
These bammas blocking progress lets get’em out of the way
400 years of struggle how long are we s’pose to wait
Giving y’all solutions for problems we ain’t create
All these black lives matter, bruh. Whether we on a stage
In the streets, millionaires or making minimum wage
Gay or trans, made you dance, do more than just entertain
This world ain’t shit without us, I know you know what I’m saying
(‘Cause I… got) I’m just saying… (got, got… got)
I’m just saying what I been saying
Know what I’m saying? (got something to say)
They can’t kill us all though they try
Justice for all been a lie (got something to say)
Fighting to live and I’ll brawl ‘til I die
Freedom is all in the mind (got something to say)

Black father, black artist with a black business
Married to a black woman raising black children
Black love, Black teacher, sharing Black thoughts
Shout out to Black Root, Black Boo, these black bars
Fill the safe but it can’t guarantee my safety
Trying to rewrite history before they ass erase me
Love me when I’m rapping, I ask for action then they hate me
Maybe they hate us 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 isn’t just to us, some white folk say “it’s just for us”
School system ain’t helping much, truthfully their fucking up
You’re one of us. Black women originated everyone of us
Vainglorious, protected by RGB
Look past the me your mind manifested and see the real me
But really, this moment feel different I hope it stick
But I’m just saying what I been saying on songs you skipped

I’m just saying… (got something to say)
I’m just saying what I been saying (got something to say)
They can’t kill us all though they try
Justice for all been a lie (got something to say)
Fighting to live and I’ll brawl ‘til I die
Freedom is all in the mind (got something to say)

Blackity-black rappity raps from your man
This brought to you by a black dude named Stan
I’m just saying…
Freedom is all in the mind (got something to say)
