Crystals
Moon Lyrics

And now it's time for
The beginning of something new

Black world, Yay
A world where black people thrive

And, in Black world
Continuation of the idea of a world where black people are in power

All the Black people have the money
The economic power of black people in the Black world

I feel like black power
Sensing the strength and force of black people

Like a black sage
Knowing and understanding the power of blackness

Got black oil
Refers to the energy and potential that comes with being black

In my black veins
Refers to the essence of blackness running through the artist's life

Black pride
The immense sense of pride in being black

Like black in the day
Harkening back to a time when black was celebrated

When I'm early
Being on time in the Black world

I'm on black time
Being in sync with the time and rhythm of blackness

They matter
Referencing the importance of black lives

These black lives
Identifying specific black lives that matter

Slap my brother on the black hand side
Connecting with other black people and showing solidarity

I don't play about black babies
Refusing to tolerate mistreatment of black children

Never have
Historical stance on always caring about black babies

Never will
Future stance on continuing to care about black babies

Even if Black go out of style
Even if society no longer values blackness

Suga, I'll be Black still
Affirmation of the artist's blackness

Cuz, I'm unapologetically Black
Ownership of blackness and refusal to apologize for it

Ooh Black
Expressing a sense of awe at the beauty of blackness

Oooh ooh ooh ooh oh
Repetition of the expression of awe

I'm turning my black pain
Transforming the struggles of being black into something positive

Into black gold
Transforming the negative into something valuable

Turn the volume up
Amplifying the voice and power of black people

On my black soul
Revealing and emphasizing the depth of the singer's blackness

Head to toe in my black-owned
Utilizing and supporting black-owned businesses and products

I'm watering my black roots
Nurturing and preserving the heritage of blackness

Teaching black children
Passing on the legacy of blackness to future generations

They black truth
Emphasizing the importance of black history and culture

Dealing black joy
Distributing happiness and positivity to black people

To these black youth
Sharing the message of black pride and power with the next generation

I'm waiting on Black Love
Anticipating the love and unity that black people can create

Hoping it still exists
Acknowledging the possibility that black love and unity may have been lost

Honey, lest we forget
A reminder to remember and honor the power of blackness

Lord forgive me
Asking for forgiveness for not fully appreciating blackness

For all the times
Confessing past mistakes

I didn't quite appreciate
Acknowledging a lack of understanding and gratitude for blackness

You making me Black
Attributing the greatness of blackness to a Higher Power

Hey Black Child
Addressing and invoking the next generation of black people

Do you know who you are
Asking if they understand the greatness of their blackness

Who you really are
Asking if they understand the true power and potential of their blackness

Do you know you can be what you want to be
