Aw man...
CHORUS x2
This Kwanzaa

Spend it with my family
Chill with the crew
We gon’ share gifts
You don't have to spend loot
We celebrate culture our African roots
VERSE
On December 26th Goodbye Saint Nick
I light a black candle
Look ooh its lit
First day of Kwanzaa
Umoja means unity
Ain’t messin with my clique
Melanated check the drip
Self determination is the mantra
Constant elevation like the Hatians
when they conquered their colonizers
Like a real life Wakanda
True believers
Day 2 that's Kujichagulia
Ujima day 3 responsibility
Lets put in that work together
Buy the block clean the streets
Collectively connected like the constellations
Plant a seed watch it grow, reap what you sow
Spend your Black dollars on Black business
You Black descendants they hustle for you Black children
A Black Trillion that’s how much Blacks spending
Ujamaa economics is how Blacks will win, Lord willin
On the 5th day of Kwanzaa with my family
Nia means purpose build our legacy
Rest in peace Rebecca Jones Matriarchy
Continue the work Fannie Lou Hamer passed to me
Kuumba yea you know what that means
Creativity and you know what that brings
Full pockets yea you know I like greens
I get paid every time I write things
And my inner light beams
Day 7 all the candles lit on the kinara
Imani means faith in a better tomorrow
Joy over sorrow equity over equal
The kids are our future leaders
We believe in all our people
But Black women shape the human race
Meet your Maker. Queen Mother we appreciate, You are sacred
You are Harriet, you are Ella Baker
You're a Maker, you’re a manifestor, a Creator
CHORUS x2
