Текст песни: Black Fantasy Dream + перевод

Breathing in the tide

Black as night

Black beloved

Break your back

Break a covenant

No one seems to understand

Dreams as far as never-land

Never again will I abandon me

Traded all my fears for a black fantasy

VERSE I

I’m no longer a slave

I’m no longer a victim, babe

I have built myself up

I acknowledge that

I am good enough

VERSE II

For so long I believed

Black skin was flawed, incomplete

It took time, but now I see

Best to follow the path paved from my black feet

This ain’t no fantasy dream…

Black girl, you’re capable of any and all things

Look, girl, at all you’ve achieved

And breathe a sigh of relief

Release

VERSE III

I am no slave, not no more

No longer blue as the bruises I’ve endured

I’m powerful, call me Queen

And come correct, my people been royalty

VERSE IV

Black folx been locked up in chains and shackles

The only key we received, made of false hope

These policies are ingrained, it’s a cycle

These policies only changed for them white folx

VERSE V

All this talk, asking «Martin or Malcolm?»

Either way their dark skin posed a problem

At 17, face to faith with a rifle

We’ve seen the news, we’re aware of the outcome

This ain’t no fantasy dream…

Black girl, we’re capable of any and all things

Look, girl, at all we’ve achieved

And breathe a sigh of relief

Release

HOOK

It’s bout time that you release

Release, release, release, release

Ad-libs…

This ain’t no fantasy dream…

Black folx, we’re capable of any and all things

Look, y’all, at all we’ve achieved

And breathe a sigh of relief…

Release

Release…

INTERLUDE

It was never meant to be easy

But you were also meant to get thru it
