February is finally here, y'all! For many, January 2018 seemed longer than a checkout line at Walmart — but we pressed onward and upward toward a new tomorrow.

With that being said, it only made sense for Black Twitter to gift us with a trending topic we can all relate to. The devil is constantly working, but sometimes all you need is a good negro spiritual or three to get you through life's most pivotal moments.
You've been out here GRINDIN! But for whatever reason, people love to forget who you are and what you're capable of. Don't hesitate to remind them of your greatness and read off that resume real quick. Stunt 101!
I used to pray for times like this, to rhyme like this
So I had to grind like that to shine like this
In a matter of time I spent on some locked up shit
In the back of the paddy wagon, cuffs locked on wrists
See my dreams unfold, nightmares come true #MillennialNegroSpirituals

Black love is beautiful, but it's not always the easiest. You have exes, haters, naysayers all in your face. Ignore them and enjoy your bae while you can.

I'm on Hypnotic, exotic
This Polo on my body
Got a bad girl beside me
And her friend right behind me
And I'm swagging, I'm surfing

I'm clean like dish detergent#MillennialNegroSpirituals
