mckenzie forever - halaj pharaoh-jali lialu lyrics

[intro]
lupe fiasco
homage

[verse one]
my name is mckenzie
adams, i’m nine and from alabama
when i grow up
i’ma be the next addition to black women in stem
i’ma make auntie
edwina proud, i’ma make princess shuri
proud, when i grow up i’ma be a scientist
but for now, i’m dealing with these racial biases
kids in my math cl-ss
p-ss me notes, but i p-ss ‘em right back
well, not always sometimes i take a peek
to see what these others kids say about me
and what they said i would repeat, but it’s bad language
but it feels me with so much anguish
to the point i want to die and the day that i
tried, i heard a voice that sounded like mine, yell

[hook]
i know how you feel, but
you can’t die today, you got a
whole life to live so together
we’ll find a way

[post chorus]
i hear you invisible voice, but is
there another choice?

[verse two]
i know we’ll be a scientist
but before then i got an idea for
you, establish the linden
alabama young black girl support
group, this group is open to all black girls in the
fourth and fifth grade, it’s a safe sp-ce so we
can be real, tell our sisters how we feel cause when
you know that you’re not alone, it’s easier to heal
the stories that my friends share are heart breaking
and although the tears fall, our souls find peace
the biggest question is how do i stay strong
when they call me ugly cause my hair ain’t blonde
and my eyes ain’t blue and my skin ain’t white
we reply that were beautiful in god’s sight
god made us black and loves us as that
and we end each meeting lifting every voice and singing

[hook]
i know how you feel, but
you can’t die today, you got a
whole life to live so together
we’ll find a way

[post chorus]
yeah yeah
we found a way, we found a way
we found a way!

[verse three]
i’m picked up by the white
family that takes me to school everyday
the mom and dad are in the car
but not mackenzie, he’s my cl-ssmate
his parents said he’s home, sick, i look to where he
sits and see a piece of paper between the seats that read
kids at school bully me so on december three
i’ma act like i’m sick and tell this whole world, peace!
december three, wait, that’s todays date
so, i hop out the car hoping i’m not too late
mac’s parents yell and tell me come back
but i got to save my friend, he can’t die like that
i get to the house, run in and see mckenzie
but it’s not my cl-ssmate mack, it’s me
and i thought that mack, needed my help
but it turns out i must save myself, so i yell

[hook]
i know how you feel, but
you can’t die today, you got a
whole life to live so together
we’ll find a way

[post chorus]
i hope you know
that i’m here for you i hear you
no judgement this way there’s
so much beauty inside of you
no matter what they say

[outro]
mckenzie nicole adams, you live forever!
white supremacy, no!
