Systematical Youth
Why do these jogger pants around my ankles feel like shackles?
Probably the same reason why my brother just got pulled over in his dodge charger.
If i can make a guess
Its probably because they’ve never seen a black man car look so nice
Nah,
It's probably bc they never seen one of us with a whip.
But at the same time I get it though
Because if you give a kid from my city a couple thousand bro,
he’ll probably spend it on a watch
Just To see the arrival time
of when the next bus will show.
Sad to say,
But see since there's been a lot a bs with u in the middle
here's where the bus stops
And you don't even gotta pay
Look at what they got you doin
It's Foolishness,
And these kids been food less
Since food for thought
Was given by fools from the news
Sayin blacks youth is full Guns in fist
Cuz they parentless.
When my father gave me
A hug and kiss
Those 3 days a week he got to see me
Because he was working overtime for my benefits
And That's the only time he wasn't around
So fox news stop making it seem like my type of black youth doesn't exist.
no shots fired
Parental guidance
Stop guiding these kids with violence,
Teach the truth to the new kids
Cuz if you knew kids
Then you'd understand the thoughts you have are clueless.
Abraham ain't free a damn thing
Because then came Jim crow laws
Does that give a ring?
muteness,
See this is the sickening truth that don't get spoke
So when i spit it
Pardon my mucus,
But I digress
Til it's time to digest
I wonder if Jesus would have saved me a seat at the last supper?
Who knows
But with a mindset of my generation
I probably would've canceled reservations
cuz jordan was dropping some rare release Nike new kicks
Stupid
Lets Check the cost on them nikes
I mean the price is just my life
But I'm willing to take that knife
Over some soles
I might just lose tonight
Along with my soul
All because these shoes are sold out, right?
Pay attention
Cuz i think Attention deficient is definite
Especially since
yall wanna focus so much on likes for instagram pics.
Picture me picking cotton
We say
Til Cops Catch us In trap houses
Them traps been labeled our coffin
you get the picture im croppin?
Or you still wanna hang with the homies
Yall don't realize yall hangin in them homes g
Cuz I really don't think yall know what the value of a neck is
I mean our Ancestors ain't just stick theirs out
Just so you can get that necklace
This system foul
they shootin us
then claiming they tech less
It's getting out of line
How'd yall not see that
That's was a technical foul
Look man
The system scan us
Then scam us
Ita scandalous
They see durags with gun straps
Before diplomas and tassels on square hats
Idk
I may be trippin
But when I pack my bags and go home
I bet I'll hear more about my gang banging
Brother robbery
Before I hear about their political corrupt cousin Robbin me
This system a drive you crazy man
Like I said earlier
It's all bs with u in the middle
And I know I said you ain't gotta pay
But you can't keep riding this bus forever man
