A song to encourage Black people to use not just boycotting, but also organized spending to create economic leverage for social change.
lyrics
My Black money goes, my Black money goes
My Black money goes, my Black money goes
My Black money goes, my Black money goes
Black grocery stores, and Black brand clothes
Black grocery stores, and Black brand clothes
My Black money goes, my Black money goes
My Black money goes, my Black money goes
My Black money goes, my Black money goes
From Black entertainment to Black-owned banking
-------------------------------------------------------
My Black money goes, my Black money goes…
…To foes who don’t want me in their clothes
Who claim, we’re all the same when I’m flamin’ hot
But won’t fight by my side when I’m aimin’ shots
Okay, #ALLIVESMATTER but my av’rage networth
Means I often get searched and get slammed head first
And the cameras get my bad side when my neck’s turnt
Make you say “He musta had it comin” when I get hurt
So #BLACKLIVESMATTER, is set apart
The way they wanted and treated us from the very start
We’re not counting on America to get a heart
Racial profiling, they still scared of the dark
We’re not counting on America to get a head
Cuz education would kill hatred; give us a real nation
Gotta give us credit, Black people we real patient
Dollar circulation, Billy Paul we still facing

My Black money goes, my Black money goes
Black authors and writers; Black franchisers

Integration, is an illusion
Because we only integrated the consumers
So now Blacks spend their money in the mainstream
And all the mainstream really does is use us
…One nation under God indivisible
Until we start talkin dividends and residuals
Til we start talkin privileges and pigeonholes
Hip Hop, international; the ghetto still mis’rable
…They want our cornrows, for a gimmick
…We make the market move, with our image
They want our music, in their commercials
Cuz we’re the cool kids… nothing personal
…The prisons and the schools got a pipeline
For individuals who’ve got skin like mine
But let one of our kids put out a hit song
And they’ll be tryna learn the dance and tryna write rhymes
Black culture, Black people that’s a package deal
Black culture, Black people that’s a package deal
We know they love our style, we know they love to steal
But Black culture, Black people, that’s a package deal
The most hated by the masses, with the mass appeal
Known for making America keep the facts real
Now they wanna water down slav’ry but keep the rebel flag on the field
Imagine how we Blacks feel

My Black money flows like petroleum
Blacks dollars: let’s talk about controlling ‘em
…Man shot, woman shot, little boy shot
Little girl shot by a swat, that’s a boycott
Little boy with a toy glock shot by a cop
I should see #BLACKLIVESMATTER everywhere I shop
If not, watch me take my money to the mom and pops
Show me what I’m worth or watch me make a Black dollar stop
…Collar pop, I don’t shop where I’m not wanted
Or where I’m wanted for a crime I didn’t commit
Follow me, around the store when I’m innocent
I say make it rain on strictly Black-owned businesses
I say make it rain on strictly Black-owned businesses
Keep the money close to home, watch it build interest
Considering the swag that this country stole from Blacks
Nothin wrong with spendin money where the money comes back
You want change… …Where’s ya money goin
You want change… …Where’s ya money goin
You want change… …Where’s ya money goin
You want change, Black People, where’s ya money goin
You want change… …Where’s ya money goin
You want change… …Where’s ya money goin
You want change… …Where’s ya money goin
You want change, Black People, where’s ya money goin

Show me the Black money
Black colleges; that’s where the knowledge it
Ayo, we gotta stop rockin clothes where the Blacks don’t pose
…Dallas Texas, the Black tech sector
When #BLACKLIVESMATTER all lives get better

Earl Grey Summers describes himself as a Musically InKlined Educator--- a teacher who also happens to pen some of the nicest
#BARS the city of Augusta has to offer. Representing one half of the group The Class Rumors, Grey is known for his very cerebral, very methodical approach to music. A self-taught beatmaker and engineer, his work comes slowly, but without fail leaves an indelible impression....more
So many colors... I'm proud of this brotha, he definitely makes the music of Augusta more wonderful to listen to. He's gonna sound real familiar... but then he's gonna sound reeeal different. Earl Grey Summers
One of the first artists I came across in my blogging who I felt truly had an ear for good music. Between his instrumentals, his vocals, and his production he always manages to create a nice groove. Earl Grey Summers
