Without A Silver Spoon
A flower bloomed in the middle of a dark room
Before birth, was cursed laying in the mommas womb
A life nearly born, but already destined to lay in the tomb
No tears, because all the pain has been consumed
Looking like a fearless soldier so you assume
That we've forgotten, and we living smooth
We've gotten used to street violence, our bodies are immune
All we had was music and some oldie tunes
America has thrown away their kids, so we gotta be our own protecters and resume
Voiceless discriminated peoples have been importune
My people ride and die to have their kids born with a silver spoon
You robbed us naked, left us empty like a vacuum
My brown folks need to gather and commune
But if you're black I also rhyme this for you
Both our people are being fucked over, we're close to the doom
We were born with one leg on earth and one leg in the tomb
Personally I was a disadvantaged flower that bloomed on the ninth of June
