**Title:** "Foundation"
**Verse 1**
I see the way you look at me
With a mix of disappointment and disdain in your eyes, it's hard to read
You say I'm not enough, that I don't provide
That I'm just another example of black men who can't survive
But what do you know? You've been hurt by one or two
Maybe even more, but that don't define me, boo
I'm a complex individual with my own struggles and pain
Don't judge me by the actions of a few, it's not fair to all of us in vain
**Pre-Chorus**
We're lost in our ways, we're struggling to be free
But still we fight for each other, that's just part of being me
I know I'm not perfect, but I'm trying my best
To be the one you need, to pass the test
**Verse 2**
I see the way you look at me too
With a mix of skepticism and distrust, it's hard to break through
You say we don't support each other, that we're just in it for ourselves
That black women can't be trusted with our own, our own, our own wealth
But what about the times when I've been there for you?
When I've stood by your side, through thick and thin, boo?
Don't let a few bad apples make you think that we're all the same
Black women and black men, we're in this together, it's not a game
**Chorus:**
So let's stand strong, black women and men as one
Let's build a brighter future, where love has won
We'll support each other, through every low and high
Together, we'll rise above, to a brand new light
**Bridge**
Let's move together, side by side
Support each other, through the good and the bad times
We'll lift each other up, like a tree in the wind
We'll rise above the noise, our love will begin
**Chorus:**
So let's stand strong, black women and men as one
Let's build a brighter future, where love has won
We'll support each other, through every low and high
Together, we'll rise above, to a brand new light
**Outro:**
So let's work together, black women and black men as one
Let's build a stronger community, where love has won
We'll be the change we want to see, we'll be the light in the dark
We are the foundation, let's hold on tight.
**Chorus:**
So let's stand strong, black women and men as one
Let's build a brighter future, where love has won
We'll support each other, through every low and high
Together, we'll rise above, to a brand new light
**Chorus:**
So let's stand strong, black women and men as one
Let's build a brighter future, where love has won
We'll support each other, through every low and high
Together, we'll rise above, to a brand new light
**Chorus:**
So let's stand strong, black women and men as one
Let's build a brighter future, where love has won
We'll support each other, through every low and high
Together, we'll rise above, to a brand new light
