Kiss Land ( New Music from The Weeknd)

Glitter Trap

"Pray" x SZA

 What is "Glitter Trap"?- I would say a mixture of bass and RnB. A combination that I am oh too happy with.

A Bounty on Your Head

- For sister Assata and the rest of you too -

You came into this world with a bounty on your head.

Born with "Black skin" although you are a soft brown.

Coils about your crown.

Spirit bright

Mind profound

So you discovered truth.

Understood that Black bodies weren't bullet proof. 

Black necks are only but so strong

and freedom songs don't right all wrongs.

You knew that turning cheeks didn't stop nobody from getting that ass beat.

I'm sure there was fear, after all you have a bounty on your head.

But, you did what I would have done

Took up defense against those who trespassed you.

Denied your family the ability to eat.

Had your people shaken with fear in the streets

terrified of the oppressors terror.

You knew it was time to get up.

Time to inform the people

and feed the people

both knowledge and food.

But as your name, you would have to struggle

with a crown and bounty on your head.

Chile! Look what you done did.

Your net worth right now is 2 million.

New Jersey saying you violent, with no evidence around it.

Say they coming in the name of justice

and they don't care how long it takes, they expecting you to pay.

If you happen to die before they get ya, I suspect they'll dig your body up before it hits the grave.

No time to decompose

Tie ya up so everyone knows " Any nigga, anytime, can GO!"

You better stop living out in the open, showing you free.

Stop it now, cuz you got them worried.

They can't have us out here thinking we human

Imagine us rising up every time a family portrait is ruined.

There's a bounty on your head!

They wanna smother you in red

make you an example for the rest of us to stop and be appreciative for the scraps we got.

They need you to be forgot!

All your teachings gotta to be untaught.

Your death is being bought.

40 years later and there's still a struggle.

Unfortunately, not all have received the memo.

No worries, the message is trickling.

Its stamped in the image of Kendrick Johnson and all our children

Affects our friends and bleeds through the music.

The message is clear: FREEDOM IS STILL NOT HERE.

It’s spelled out on bank receipts

and feeds on the empty belly.

The message is inscribed on the bricks of demolished schools.

It travels through veins, rings effortlessly in fired up crack pipes.

You can hear it echo in broken homes

see it in stereotypes.

In the silence it screams " DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE"

Cuz this fight aint done.

Not for no one with a bounty on their head. 

Born with "Black skin" although you are a soft brown

Coils about your crown

Spirit bright and mind profound

It aint over for none of us, despite what it seems.

Wipe the sleep from your eyes of the " American Dream"

Look up-reach high

Ah shit, you found your bounty- its about damn time!
