Black People Run the Internet

from BLK by SassyBlack

/
  • BLK Coffee

    "Her coffee blend, titled after her newest album ‘BLK’, is no different. Her signature coffee is bold and smooth with a lingering finish of subtle sweetness. Just like her music, this coffee redefines how we think about a cup of coffee.

    BLK Coffee blend is made in collaboration with Caffe Vita, roasting coffee in Seattle since 1995. BLK Coffee has flavor notes of dark chocolate, s’mores, and maple with a full-bodied mouthfeel and a lingering finish." - Caffe Vita

    Many thanks to Caffe Vita for making this happen and for these kind words!

    Enjoy while they last! Very limited edition.

    Includes unlimited streaming of BLK via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics

INTRO
Uh
6X
Oh yea yea yea yea yea
Oh yea yea yea yea
What?

HOOK
Black people run the internet
From gossip to news
From winners to losers
We run the internet (yeah)
Black people run the innernet
Instead of the whole world wide web
It’s us instead
We run the internet (yeah)

VERSE
We’re stepping through gracefully, faithfully
Dedicated to our identity
No matter the type of parody
No matter the lack of clarity
Around our ancestral history
I’m moving with deep sincerity
Just tryna live and get free

HOOK

RAP
From dress to culture
Business to trends
Math, music & science
Our contributions don’t end
Octavia to Ava
From Prince to KING
Chaka to Erykah
Forever connecting
So I’m moving in passion
Courage, love & light
You know the darker the berry
Well the harder the fight
No more tip toeing to greatness
Still reciting our rights
We’re still reciting our rights
Being sold our death is alright?

A brutal victim today
A hashtag martyr tonight
Dissecting visions and dreams
As hallucinations and schemes
It’s rebranded, you don’t understand it
Simple oppressive bandit
You don’t have the bandwidth

Yeah, I said it
And I meant it
Yeah I said it
And I meant it

INTRO REPRISE

I pray for peace
I pray for hope
So I can embrace me
Just as I am
I pray for love
I pray for understanding
So you can embrace me
Just as I am
