Never Had Your Back Songtext
von Arrested Development

And a little state of mind
Dollar rhyme, but we barely get it down
Figure, figure, figure, figure
I′m here, woman to woman and man to man

Good evening America
I'm here, woman to woman and man to man
Good evening America, this is your president

These 52-year-old bones
I hear creeks without water flows
Hip hop pro but will never know songs
My 23-year-old daughter knows

She′s plays artists I dig
I ask who is that kid
Her answers are inaudible
Lil' this and that named after mobs and gats

Mumble raps, beats are trap
And every week there's an all new batch
So I just relax and let her do her
′Cause I prefer to defer to black girl magic


Plus all the things me and my queen put into her
Life′s a blur
I remember when she was young
All the lessons hat did occur

Teach her about her bees & birds
Street and curbs and dreams deferred
Langston Hughes and Mary Mckeever, Angela Davis
Facts that come back from there to that

We're doomed as blacks and nothing can save us
Freedom fighting is the proper behavior

I tell her you′re a black queen and you're not bitch and na-na
You′re not vixen na-na
You're not a trick bitch na-na
You′re nobody's quick fix na-na

America's never had your back no, no, no
You′re not trap queen na-na
A Stripper lap dance queen na-na
White boy fetish dream na-na
Melanated black queen, high esteem

Americas never had your back, no, no, no, no (no)
Americas never had your back, no, no, no, no (no)
Americas never had your back, no, no, no, no (no)


Stop this bull ass
Get off your pulpit
You′ve been a pit bull to black women
The fullness of what you've done
It′s slave shacks back in the wilderness

Having your way with women to little girls
They're children-less, breaking in entry
Centuries of souls thrown in manure pits
Did you pit your unwanted light kids

Against the darker kids
Now we′re conditioned to keep sparking this
Hating our own women, intimacy divisions
And indecisions, relational confusion

Materialistic dilutions and all this
'Cause of your intrusions
No wonder we all came to conclusion
That blacks lives don′t matter

Murder of Breonna Taylor
Black blood that splatters
America constantly failing us
Give reparations, give a separate nation

No more diversity talk, It's black situation
And stop degrading our dear sisters on TV stations

You're a black queen and you′re not bitch, na-na
You′re not vixen na-na
You're not a trick bitch na-na
You′re nobody's quick fix na-na

America′s never had your back no, no, no
You're not trap queen na-na
A Stripper lap dance queen na-na
White boy fetish dream na-na
Melanated black queen, high esteem

Americas never had your back, no, no, no, no (no)
Americas never had your back, no, no, no, no (no)
Americas never had your back, no, no, no, no (no)

Americas never had your back, no, no, no, no (no)
Americas never had your back

Americas never had your back
But they love to have your backside
They′re infatuated with that
They loving your full lips your melanin darkness

On them, they display it
On you, they dismiss it
And all of this madness, sadness could easily be reversed
If Black queens were seen as Gods packages and nurtured

We see what you've done to the people that was first here
Us rising up is your worst fear
America

I known you heard what the president said

You're a black queen and you′re not bitch and na-na
You′re not vixen na-na
You're not a trick bitch na-na
You′re nobody's quick fix na-na

America′s never had your back no, no, no
You're not trap queen na-na
A Stripper lap dance queen na-na
White boy fetish dream na-na
Melanated black queen, high esteem

Americas never had your back, no, no, no, no (no)
Americas never had your back, no, no, no, no (no)
Americas never had your back, no, no, no, no (no)

Americas never had your back, no, no, no, no (no)
Americas never had your back, no, no, no, no (no)
America never had your back, we go it
Black or magic
