AH - Blackman Redemption.

Verse 1 I’m not good at talking, so I write songs, And when devils keep walking, you know something’s wrong. Wealth, abundance, prosperity — that’s what we’re chasing, But down at my market, I see bodies in brackets, Everyone labelled… except us, except you, except I. Passive aggression, quiet invasion, Smiling faces hiding hateful nations. Literal translation, my interpretation — I read the truth sitting right in their faces. So many questions I’m holding inside, And that’s just the start — I can’t let it slide. Chorus Brace up Natty Congo, here’s the Black man redemption, Who you?, oh oh — rise in ascension. Master of mysteries, keeper of records, Mighty king, break every tether. Living through ages, from past to the present, Power eternal — the soul is a weapon. Brace up Natty Congo, here’s the Black man redemption, Who you?, oh oh — reclaim the intention. ✨ Melodic Hook (inserted after chorus) Oh‑ah, rise up, rise up — Oh‑ah, fire in the blood won’t die out. Oh‑ah, rise up, rise up — We are the ones they couldn’t write out. Verse 2 They sell me dreams in designer disguises, Say I’m free while they’re choosing my prizes. History edited, truth minimized, Pages missing and the ink’s revised. But still I remember what runs in my bloodline, Echoes of kings in the rhythm of drumline. They tried to bury the roots of the vine, But pressure made diamonds — the glow is divine. Now I see clearer, the veil is thinning, They fear the moment we know we’re winning. Names that they gave us, we’re unlearning, Fire inside and the spirit is burning. Bridge (Variation) Silent oppression disguised as progression, Careful with language — they rewrite the lesson. Smiling in public but hiding intention, What is the truth and what’s their invention? I’m reading between every line that they send me, Question the system that tried to prevent me. Too many signs and they can’t defend me — This is the moment, the voice of the many. Chorus Brace up Natty Congo, here’s the Black man redemption, Who you?, oh oh — rise in ascension. Master of mysteries, keeper of records, Mighty king, break every tether. Living through ages, from past to the present, Power eternal — the soul is a weapon. Brace up Natty Congo, here’s the Black man redemption, Who you?, oh oh — reclaim the intention. ✨ Melodic Hook (repeat) Oh‑ah, rise up, rise up — Oh‑ah, fire in the blood won’t die out. Oh‑ah, rise up, rise up — We are the ones they couldn’t write out. Final Bridge Not what they told us, not what they sold us, We are the story they tried to control us. Names redefined us, chains couldn’t bind us, Truth in the spirit — the past will remind us. Rise from the silence, break every bias, This is the sound of a people defiant. Outro Chorus + Hook Blend Brace up Natty Congo, here’s the Black man redemption, Who you?, oh oh — rise in ascension. Silent oppression disguised as progression. Oh‑ah, rise up, rise up — Oh‑ah, fire in the blood won’t die out. Brace up Natty Congo, here’s the Black man redemption, Who you?, oh oh — rise in ascension. Careful with language — they rewrite the lesson, Smiling in public but hiding intention. Oh‑ah, rise up, rise up — We are the ones they couldn’t write out.
