lyrics

Legacy

What you so call shadow
I call it light
You try to break my destiny
We’re ready to fight
Destroying my legacy
You ain’t got it right
Lost your remaining token the war is over
Here comes the new world order

Hook

Black lives matter x4

We are the nation Of domination
If someone say something
You better do something
Cause I’m done watching
This ain’t a pitty-tion
It’s a revolution
With no question askin
Make my life black again x4

Hook 2x


Pt 2 (me to my bro and sis)



Pa bliye, pa bliye pa, pa bliye
Kiyès ou ye
Kote ou soti
Ki kote nou prale
Héritage ou

Pa bliye, pa bliye, pa bliye
Identité’ W pi fò diaman
Tout force ou genyen nan sang’w



Don Paco Verse:


How can you let slide
These street Level genocides
By shield wielding pigs
While a crying mother digs
Her son's grave
No one was saved

That Day, the Earth stop breathing
Black Man suffocating
Black Man dying on the streets
Ends up, black ink on a sheet

But Black is King
Rest In Power

Black is beautiful
Black is beautiful
Black is beautiful
Black is powerful

In all it's Legacy
Shown thoughout history
But why show no Mercy?
Why inflicting them misery?

Y'all just cowards
Preventing them from moving foreward
Judging a book by it's cover
Mr Judge, but I ain't gonna call you
"Your Honor"

This song may be long
But since you're headstrong
I guess we'll push on
Till our Brothers can live on

So hear these few words
Again and again
Untill they change the world
Black Lives Matter
Black Lives Matter
Black Lives Matter
Black Lives Matter



Ketsmy:


Tel une plante d’un matin d’été
Ensoleillé, je t’arroserai
Jusqu’à la dernière goute
Des larmes de joie
Je verserai ma fierté

Sans oublier une parcelle
De terre qui m’appartient
De toi Je prendrai soin
Hier aujourd’hui et demain

Si dieu le veut
Comme dirait ma mère
Tu resteras fort
Tu resteras fier

Comme reflète ma sueur
sous le soleil
Tu rayonneras comme
le rêve antillais

Les saisons passeront
Mais d’une nouvelle pluie tu renais
