Black America
These words are subject to change
These past years all of us been on the same lane
We died together
We cried together
Our ancestors and grand parents fought for our freedom
But there are moments when u hear different sounds
The same sound that goes in a cycle coming back around and around
One hundred black men does not equal one
Just because u seen his body language and pistol
Does not mean another black man walking down the street has a gun because he is not the same one
My mind is telling me the streets are too hot
Physical I'm thinking I'm never gone get shot
Because they here to protect and serve
That's what u heard from a false guru
Until a bullet go to your back
From the direction of the man in blue
You see we have been fed lies
They was gone keep this from us until we die
This time I ain't talking about just the human body that's black
I'm talking about everybody family who got shot by the blue and that's facts
People ask me what type of mind set I'm.on
The type of mind set they will make u feel gone
Micheal brown
Sandra bland
Erice garner
Trayvon
And the list doesn't stop there it keeps on going on and on
They say we got a bad presence
They say we got bad souls
All of us are considered violent people under oath
We gotta fight for our success
Fight for our freedom
Yes I just mentioned freedom
Because with all the violence out there
I just wanna be locked in a cage
Because this day in age made me feel like a slave
All I can do is Influence ya to help
I can't change ya minds
One day I'm change the world and everyone gone be fine
Our blood has filled the streets
Our hearts are filled with disappointment of actions the government and politics have committed
I studied all this before anybody try to trip me up
Now that's what u call a black america
