Black Against the Battle
Drake ft. JID, Kendrick Lamar, Eminem

Chorus (Drake):
I wear black for the beaten down, never backin' down,
Standin' tall for the lost, for the ghosts in town,
Put this city on my back, but I’m not alone,
Rising high, flying low, till the break of dawn.

Verse 1 (Kendrick Lamar):
From Compton to the Bronx, we fightin' for the sound,
Every block, every hood, we know the lost are found,
I see the tears in the dirt, where the roses grow,
Blood on the leaves, but we never let it show.

Pre-Chorus (JID):
Yeah, the night is dark, but the heart’s still glowin',
Through all the pain, there’s a strength that’s growin',
In the face of the hate, we keep on goin',
With the weight on our back, we keep on flowin'.

Chorus (Drake):
I wear black for the beaten down, never backin' down,
Standin' tall for the lost, for the ghosts in town,
Put this city on my back, but I’m not alone,
Rising high, flying low, till the break of dawn.

Verse 2 (JID):
Black shades, black heart, see my pride in the mirror,
No fear, no regard, for the lies or the sneers,
We hustle through the struggle, yeah, we make it clear,
For the broken and the beaten, we’ll persevere.

Bridge (Kendrick Lamar):
In the silence, hear the whispers of the past undone,
In every shadow, feel the power of the battles won,
We carry on, with the fire of a thousand suns,
For the fallen and forgotten, our time has come.

Chorus (Drake):
I wear black for the beaten down, never backin' down,
Standin' tall for the lost, for the ghosts in town,
Put this city on my back, but I’m not alone,
Rising high, flying low, till the break of dawn.

Verse 3 (Eminem):
Fists high, face the sky, as the storm rolls in,
In the depths of the night, yeah we fight to win,
From the ashes we rise, with the will to begin,
For the silenced and oppressed, we won’t break or bend.

Chorus (Drake):
I wear black for the beaten down, never backin' down,
Standin' tall for the lost, for the ghosts in town,
Put this city on my back, but I’m not alone,
Rising high, flying low, till the break of dawn.

Outro (All):
For the shadows in the streets, and the dreams deferred,
We wear black, we attack, every voice is heard,
In the anthem of the night, see the future burn,
Through the darkness, through the fight, feel the tables turn.
