Beyoncé -  Black Parade


Beyoncé has been advocating for Black issues, specifically concerning convictions for police officers unjustifiably killings Blacks. Early this week she wrote the attorney general's office demanding murder charges against the police officers killing healthcare worker Breonna Taylor in Louisville, Kentucky. Just yesterday, one of the three police officers is finally fired. The AG says the investigation is ongoing.

And then more good news on Juneteenth last night, Bey blessed us with Black Parade! What she had to say about it: "Happy Juneteenth Weekend! I hope we continue to share joy and celebrate each other, even in the midst of struggle. Please continue to remember our beauty, strength and power. 'BLACK PARADE' celebrates you, your voice and your joy and will benefit Black-owned small businesses."

Check it out above!

Trust me, they gon' need an army (Ah)
Rubber bullets bouncin' off me (Ah)
Made a picket sign
off your picket fence (Ah)
Take it as a warning
(Ah, ah)
Waist beads from Yoruba (Woo)
Four hunnid billi',
Mansa Musa (Woo)
Straw line to the barbeque
Put us any damn where,
we gon' make it look cute
Pandemic fly on the runway,
in my hazmat
Judgin', runnin' through the house to my art,
all black
Ancestors on the wall, let the ghosts chit-chat
(Ancestors on the wall, let the ghosts chit-chat)
Hold my hands, we gon' pray together
Lay down,
face down
in the gravel
Woo,
wearin' all attire white to the funeral
Black love, we gon' stay together
Curtis Mayfield on the speaker (Woo)...
Need another
march, lemme call
Tamika (Woo)
Need peace and reparation for my people (Woo)...
Put your fists up in the air, show black love (Show black love)
Motherland drip on me, motherland, motherland drip on me...
Follow my parade...
