lyrics

Black Code
You know honor thy mother
Respect they father
Ride for they brother
Protect our women
Better raise yall children
Teach economic growth
Keep yo ass outta prison
That’s the Black Code
Keep you community safe
And defend it by all means
Or we’ll lose in this race
Yeat that’s the Black Code
Keep that poison out yo veins
Kick the cup and take pride in yo name fareal
That’s the Black Code
Create yo own bank through a lirp
But start saving if you cant
Pay attention to these Black Codes
Its each one teach one
That’s our duty til we least reach one
Take heed to these Black Codes
Education is a must
Keep searching you can never learn enough
Free yo mind with these Black Codes
Elevation over time
If we utilize the codes in this rhyme











Verse 2

Black Code
Loyalty is a must
Treason is not an option
In god only we trust
That’s the Black Code
Learn to circulate our dollars
Black owned, black business, black power
Economics in these black codes
Mind, body and soul
Development with a purpose
That’s how you stay on yo toes
With these black codes
Make it a point to learn a skill
Share yo wealth and resources
Yea that’s how you nation build
Real black codes
Lets control our own vision
Take pride
Not accepting what is given
Real intentions with these black codes
So study yo true history
Don’t ever let yo greatness be a mystery
A symphony of black codes
Im talking music to yo ears
Revolution that’s internal
So start with yoself here
With these black codes
And pray it spread through the community
Because the purpose here is unity
We building through these black codes
