‽You go bustin' your fist against a stone wall | |
You're not usin' your brain | |
That's what the white man wants you to do | |
Look at you, what makes you ashamed of bein' black?" | |
Nuttin' but love for you my sister | |
Might even know how hard it is, no doubt | |
Bein' a woman, a black woman at that? No doubt | |
Shit, in this white man'z world | |
Sometimes we overlook the fact that we be ridin' hard on our sisters | |
We don't be knowin' the pain we be causin' in this white man'z world | |
In this white man's world, I ain't sayin' I'm innocent in all this | |
I'm just sayin' in this white man'z world, this song is for y'all | |
For all those times that I messed up or we messed up | |
Dear sister, got me twisted up in prison, I miss ya | |
Cryin', lookin' at my niece's and my nephew's picture | |
They say don't let this cruel world get ya, kinda suspicious | |
Swearin' one day you might leave me for somebody that's richer | |
Twist the cap off the bottle, I take a sip and see tomorrow | |
Gotta make if I have to beg or borrow | |
Readin' love letters late night, locked down and quiet | |
If brothers don't receive, they mail, best believe, we riot | |
Eatin' Jack-Mack, starin' at walls of silence | |
Inside this cage where they captured all my rage and violence | |
In time I learned a few lessons, never fall for riches | |
Apologizes to my TRUE sisters, far from bitches | |
Help me raise my black nation reparations are due, it's true | |
Caught up in this world, I took advantage of you | |
So tell the babies how I love them, precious boys and girls | |
Born black in this white man'z world and all I heard was | |
Who knows what tomorrow brings | |
In this world, where everyone's blind | |
And where to go, no matter how far I'll find | |
To let you know, that you're not alone | |
Bein' born with less, I must confess, only adds on to the stress | |
Two gunshots to my homie's head, dyed in his vest | |
Shot him to death and left him bleedin' for his family to see | |
I pass his casket gently askin', is there Heaven for G's? | |
My homeboy's doin' life, his baby momma be stressin' | |
Sheddin' tears when her son, finally ask that questions | |
Where my daddy at? Mama why we live so poor? | |
Why you cryin'? Heard you late night through my bedroom door | |
Now do you love me mama? Whitey keep on callin' me nigga? | |
Get my weight up with my hate and pay 'em back when I'm bigger | |
And still thuggin' in this jail cell, missin' my block | |
Hearin' brothers screamin' all night, wishin' they'd stop | |
Proud to be black but why we act like we don't love ourselves | |
Don't look around busta, you sucka, check yourselves | |
Know what it means to be black, whether a man or girl | |
We still strugglin' in this white man'z world | |
Who knows what tomorrow brings | |
In this world, where everyone's blind | |
And where to go, no matter how far I'll find | |
To let you know, that you're not alone | |
So tell me why you changed to choose a new direction | |
In the blink of an eye, my time away just made perfection | |
Did you think I'd die? Not gon' cry, why should I care | |
Like we holdin' on to lost love that's no longer there | |
Can you please help me, God, bless me | |
Please, keep my seeds healthy | |
Makin', all my enemies bleed while my G's wealthy | |
Hopin', they bury me with ammunitions, weed and shells | |
Just in case they trip in Heaven, ain't no G's in Hell | |
Sister sorry for the pain that I caused your heart | |
I know I'll change if you help me but don't fall apart | |
Rest in peace to Latasha, Lil' Yummy and Kato | |
Too much for this cold world to take, ended up bein' fatal | |
Every women in America, especially black | |
Bear with me, can't you see that we under attack | |
I never meant to cause drama to my sister and mama | |
Hope we make it to better times in this white man's world | |
Who knows what tomorrow brings | |
In this world, where everyone's blind | |
And where to go, no matter how far I'll find | |
To let you know, that you're not alone | |
Who knows what tomorrow brings | |
In this world, where everyone's blind | |
And where to go, no matter how far I'll find | |
To let you know, that you're not alone | |
Who knows what tomorrow brings | |
In this world, where everyone's blind | |
And where to go, no matter how far I'll find | |
To let you know, that you're not alone | |
The seal and the constitution | |
Reflect the thinking of the founding fathers | |
That this was to be a nation by white people and for white people | |
Native Americans, blacks and all other non-white people | |
Were to be the burden bearers, for the real citizens of this nation |
You go bustin' your fist against a stone wall | |
You' re not usin' your brain | |
That' s what the white man wants you to do | |
Look at you, what makes you ashamed of bein' black?" | |
Nuttin' but love for you my sister | |
