[Verse 1]
[Am][C][F#dim][F]
Don't [Am]die [C]on me
[D]I said[F#dim]
[F]Young black king, don't

[Verse 2]
[Am]
die [F]on me[Gm][C]
[F#dim]You're my brother,
[F]you're my keeper
I need you to keep [Am]an eye on
[Gm]me[F#dim]
And no more fighting [F]on the streets
Walking 'round with all this
[Am]pride on [Gm]me
[C]Shi[F#dim]t, shit's tough for
us [F]already
Know that you can [Am]still rely
[Gm]on m[C]e
[Gm]Please, just [C]stay [F#dim]alive for me
[F]And

[Verse 3]
my young black queens,
don't [Am]quit [Gm]now (yeah)
[F#dim]You're the only on[F]es that got us
I could never let my [Am]sis d[Gm]own
[C]You been too strong, for[F] too long
Yet, still you never [Am]sit down,
[Gm]wow[C][Gm][C]
[F#dim]That's the power of your l[F]oving
And it's worthy of a [Am]king's crown
[C]And still you never let[Cm] your kings dow[F#dim]n
Even [F]though most

[Verse 4]
times,
we don't [Am]de serve it
[C]The picture isn't pretty, but it's per[F#dim]fect
[F]Tedious pressures, so then I cur[Am]ve it
[C]Ser[Gm]ena or [Cm]Venus, the way I s[F#dim]erve it
[F]I'm Mallory Blackman[Am],
the way I sell books
[C]I jump on [Gm]the stage,
[Cm]an d then the wo[F#dim]rld looks
[F]All that banging' on my door,
had my [Am]girl shook
[C]Now sorry officer,
I only sell hook[F#dim]s
[F]Leave me alone
Every little [Am]L I took,
I hold [C]it close to home
Live and you learn,
[F]they'll always hate me for my tone
For the shade of my skin
[Am]And not the courage [C]of my bones
Now, I'm misunderstood
Now, I'm feeling [F]like Nina Simone
The [Am]way I [F]toured t[Am]he world
Would have thought that [C]I was Sims
See her on stage,
I know [F]that women can be kings
I know that's fucked,
[Am]they're overlooking [C]what you bring
[Gm]I know [Cm]shit's all good[C],
[F#dim]but it's just the littl[F]e things
Black [Am]queen you're immaculate

[Verse 5]
[Gm][F#dim]
It's coming [F]at the world
They ain't ready for your [Am]magic [Gm]yet
An[F]d that was never your fault
Man, I guess they couldn't
[Am]hack it [Gm]yet
[Cm]World [F]domination, and you ain't even
Taken off your [Am]jacket [Gm]yet
So [C]effortlessly fabulous
[F#dim]And my yo[F]ung black

[Verse 6]
[F]kings
I hope it [Am]pays [Gm]off[C][D][F]
Go and show 'em what you're
[Am]made [Gm]of[C]
[D]Trying to [F#dim]scare us [F]with some things
That we are [Am]no longer afraid
[Gm]of[C][F#dim][D]
[F]Men are superheroes, let me see you [Am]take off
[C]I pray you never take
your cape [F#dim]off
[F]Even though [F#dim]most time[Am]s, we don't

[Verse 7]
fly straight
[C]If I trust you bro,
I [Gm]promise [C]we gon' [F#dim]die great
Our [F]burdens are heavy,
but we ain't [Am]light weights
[C]Our parents were legends,
they had to [F#dim]migrate
[F]So that's a reason not to sit
[Am]around and chat shit
I'm [C]from the place where Michael
[Gsus4]Dapaah made a [F#dim]smash hit
[F]Where you can be a rapper,
if [Am]rap you sick
They're [C]screaming,
"What a flippin' time to [D]be a [F#dim]black Brit!"
We so [F]alive, whole world [Am]gone
out their minds
But no we [Gm]ride,
tried to push [F#dim]us all to[F] the side
We know our rights
Now we get the [Am]whole of the pie,
[Gm]then go inside
When you see that merky flag in the sky
[F]Just know it's I
The way I topped the [Am]charts
Would've thought that I was [Gm]Dave
I [F#dim]am young, black, beauti[F]ful and brave
Know that it's [Am]fucked,
they're overlooking [C]what we gave
I know shits all good,
so we [F#dim]pray for [F]better days

[Verse 8]
Pray they [Am]better than [Gm]before
[C](be[F#dim]tter than before)
Young [F]black king, you are everything an[Am]d more
(you are everything [C]and [F#dim]more)
I know [F]one song's not enough to settle [Am]scores
(not enough to [Gm]settle [C]scores)
But from the [F]bottom of my heart
Man, I hope you're getting
[Am]yours (getting yours)[C]
Man, I hope you're getting
yours (getting y[F#dim]ours)
[F]Young black que[Am]en, get[F] your

[Verse 9]
[Am]
shine [F#dim]on[Gm][C][F#dim]
[D]All I see[F] is innovators,
and a bag of icon[Am]s[Gm][C]
[D]You can go [F]an d ask the whole world
[Am]Where they got they style
[Gm]from?[C]
That's [F#dim]you, that's us, God'[F]s time
And he never gets the [Am]time [C]wrong
I guess we just some ticking time bombs
We [F]soon blow (boom)
I can [Am]make world

[Verse 10]
come [C]true
All [D]my dream[F#dim]s will see [F]me through
And if [Am]that won't get me down
My [F#dim]dreams will turn th[F]ings all around
With a [Am]smile upon my [C]face
I [D]can see a better [F]place
Doesn't matter [Am]what may come my [C]way
Be[D]lieve me now, I will win some day
