[Verse 1]
SweetSalt 
SweetSalt 
I seen the young ones grindin' through the rain
Books in the bag, heavy heart, heavy chain
No dad at the door, no mom on the line
Still they show up, still they shine

They clockin' in early, carryin' all that weight
Tryna feed the block and make a better fate
Keep your head up, keep your name clean
Don't let the world tell you what a man means

[Chorus]
This is for my brothers, all my black brothers.
Brothers with dimensions that have yet to be discovered.
Brothers without fathers and my brothers without mothers.
Can't say man to man but y'all need to love each other.
My brothers still in school workin' hard for that paper, and my advice to you is just don't let that paper make ya.
Brothers workin' nine to fives, doubles they don't hate ya, just keep yourself respect man don't let the system rape ya.
Brothers in the struggle here to make our people safer.
Brothers with a business here to make our people greater.
Scholarly brothers, here to elevate ya.
All my black brothers, nothing could replace ya.

[Verse 2]
I see the ones who built it from the ground
Turning every scar into a deeper sound
One hand for the dream, one hand for the fam
Still making room for another brother's plan

When the night get cold, we gather and we speak
Trade a little hope for the strong and weak
If you got a gift, better bring it through
'Cause when one of us rise, we all rise too
