Songtext zu 'Entrepreneur' von Pharrell Williams

I'm black ambition
I'm always whispering
They kept telling me I will not
But my will won't listen
Gravity on the black man
With everything on his back and
His family and passion
If the doors ain't crackin'

You gotta let go (Let go!)
If you wanna fly and take the leap
You gotta risk it all (Risk it all!)
Or there'll be lots of things you'll never see
You gotta let, let go
'Cause you never know
What's in store
Mr. Entrepreneur

In this position with no choice
The system imprison young black boys
Distract with white noise
The brainwashed become hype boys
Third eye dilate
You ain't supposed to make it off Section 8
Robbin' Peter just to pay Paul
Prepare to risk everything

You need to let go (Let go!)
If you wanna fly and take the leap
You gotta risk it all (Risk it all!)
Or there'll be lots of things you'll never see
Remember, black is space
And it's the color of your face
There would be no sunny days
If black went away

Black man, black man, black man
Black man, black man, black man
Black man, black man, black man
Black man, black man, black man
Black man, black man, black man
Black man, black man, black man
Black man, black man, black man
Black man, black man, black man

Black man, black man, black man
Black man, black man, black man
Black man, black man, black man
Black man, black man, black man
Black man, black man, black man
Black man, black man, black man
Black man, black man, black man
Black man, black man, black man

Don't go chasing waterfalls
Please stick to the drip that you're used to
They don't make them like they used to
Lies told to you
Through YouTubes and Hulus
Shows with no hues that look like you do
Black Twitter, what's that?
When Jack gets paid, do you?
For every one Gucci, support two FUBU's
Sippin' Crip-a-Cola
Consumer and an owner
Till we all vertically integrated from the floor up
D'Usse pour up
I sip Ace till I throw up
Like gang signs, 'cept I, bang mines for both ya
Serial entrepreneur we on our own
Stop sittin' around waiting for folks to throw you a bone
If you can't buy the building, at least stock the shelf
Then keep on stacking till you stocking for yourself
See everything you place after black
Is too small a term to completely describe the act
Black nation, black builder, black entrepreneur
You in the presence of black excellence
And I'm on the board, Lord!

Black man, black man, black man
Black man, black man, black man
Black man, black man, black man
Black man, black man, black man
Black man, black man, black man
Black man, black man, black man
Black man, black man, black man
Black man, black man, black man
Black man, black man, black man
Black man, black man, black man
Black man, black man, black man

Black man, black man, black man
Black man, black man, black man
Black man, black man, black man
Black man, black man, black man
Black man, black man, black man
Black man, black man, black man
Black man, black man, black man
Black man, black man, black man
