Bop City

Bop City

A place where we can go to be free

Jus like when the slaves were freed and changed their last name to Freeman you can be anyone

Free from the white mans values

***** hair cuz black is beautiful

If Straight hair isn't ur natural texture then maybe you have a self image problem cuz God made ur hair that way so why change it

Weaves best believe are shackles to the way u think u should view yourself

Big lips cuz they are better and cool down your food

Oh and don't forget better to kiss with

Realize y'all that bop city is not a myth

It can be a real place where we don't have to live up to these European standards

Just because we were born here doesn't nullify the fact that we were stolen to get here

We gotta stop being so chained by what others want us to be

Man we all kno Jesus was of some type of color

We all kno that we all came from the same place

We all kno that we are moving towards all looking the same

Or do you?

So why do we continue to be maimed and not understand that we are jus as good as everyone else

We got so caught up in freedom that we forgot about bop city

Giving the cold shoulder making it really chilly

So please my people come back to bop city

It's happening over here

Dancing all night

Libations leading to many sensations

Cultivation of one nation under God...color invisible and justice for all

Bop city
