Verse 1
She was a soldier
Sacrificed to make America great
But it's not like they told her
Cause too many obstacles get in the way
Baby, all the exposure
Being triggered by the bullets of hate
She decided to focus
Imparting her greatness in the child she creates
Chorus
So no matter what
Keep striving, don't be surprised
If they look at you and don't understand
No matter what
You're a prize, leave them hypnotized
Cause you're walking in the skin of a black man
No matter what
You're a King, stand for what you believe in
Love yourself and have your own mind
Embrace every drop of your race
Being all that you can be in a lifetime
No matter what
Verse 2
Second time as a mother
Caught up in duty before but now she's finally free
And with the new baby brother
Sharing these special moments, look at your family
Gotta fight for each other
And sometimes in battle gotta fight on your knees
You know that He's got you covered
With a hope and future and prosperity
Chorus
No matter what
Keep striving, don't be surprised
If they look at you and don't understand
No matter what
You're a prize, leave them hypnotized
Cause you're walking in the skin of a black man
No matter what
You're a King, stand for what you believe in
Love yourself and have your own mind
Embrace every drop of your race
Being all that you can be in a lifetime
No matter what
No, no, no, no matter what
No, no, no, no matter what
No, no, no, no matter what
No, no, no, no matter what
(Left, left, left right left)
Keep your head held high
Focus as you march under uncertain skies
Realize the potential
All that is within you
His child, my king
Rise above the existential
Bridge
Can you see it? Do you believe it?
The power inside you cannot be defeated, no
If you dream it, one day you'll be it
Help from the Lord is all you ever needed, so
Succeed, never concede
What God is preparing before all your enemies
It was just a seed inside of me
No matter what you are royalty
Chorus
So no matter what
Keep striving, don't be surprised
If they look at you and don't understand
No matter what
You're a prize, leave them hypnotized
Cause you're walking in the skin of a black man
No matter what
You're a King, stand for what you believe in
Love yourself and have your own mind
Embrace every drop of your race
Being all that you can be in a lifetime
No matter what
