about

‘Black Dúbh’ is a track introducing the narrative of how making a living in Ireland today can be challenging for black people in Ireland but who identify as Irish. In light of recent events with the Black Lives Matter movement these are the times we define the consequences of racial injustice.

lyrics

I want you to stand up tall and proud
I want you to speak up clear and loud
Brown baby

Don't be alarmed by my people
Salaam salaam with this peace I'm peaceful
Yoruba man got the hammer in agbada
Judging by the look fashion killer on a mazza
Tried to show color they just the want the Yamma Yamma
Beg you don't vex when we don't move with no manners
They call me black this they call me black that
Put me for blacklist they say they fear blackout
They don't mind that the algorithm ain’t for us
Till they're getting real life warnings
Exposure is not payment
Till emails get leaked and it lead to black mailing
You don't want me dark in your life as a black man
Buchalli dubh but got color on the kaftan
You don't think Black Lives Matter
Till your laying In Mater
Black nurse black doctor
With the islands history burying children
There's people in hiding direction provision
Who’s gone speak up speak out different
Seen a lot posting not much listening
Turn the phone off what life are you living
I’ve been on road ain’t got nowt from drilling
Money ain't power till you uplift vision
So my Netflix now are a money heist mission
Go storm the castle take back privilege
But see the traps for new path new visions
I don’t give a damn how no Karen been feeling
Man might just go up the hill Jack a Jillin
No honesty in business no loyalty among thieves
Prayed for clean record, no dirt to touch name
Born as a lion king got thrown into a bugs a life
Mr. Richie Rich think he slick with the contracts
Fa Korede, success coming in
I come from where you fight lions and show face
Tell me who won it’s the belly of the beast that we come from
You ain’t seen no life like this never that
Opps all looks the same can't differentiate
Know the real but baby still work the play
When I arrive in the place they will rival the face
Tell them say iDeyGoke
