Young Black Boy |
Yea, one-two, one-two |
Uh one-two, one-two |
Yea |
Uh one-two, one-two |
One-two, one-two |
One-two, one-two |
One-two, one-two |
Yea |
Born in the ghetto, we sayin' hello to hell |
Rebellin' black decadents know the rebellers well |
Came from the dirt so I can shovel it well |
Wear it on my heart like a medal or lapel |
Food and liquor stores on the corner |
Walkin' by the door bein' watched by the owner |
Tryna buy milk, short by a quarter |
Hope he let it slide cause he know we tryna get by |
Good hood nigga with a conscience |
Tryna make sense goin' through the nonsense |
Sayin' sink or swim, tryna stay above the rim |
And we watch Kyle Watsons flip the Flip Johnsons |
Playground legends would post on the block |
As for The Rock, still post on the block in they ad for The Rock |
How ironic, don’t you think? |
I just want a shot, not talkin' ‘bout a drink |
Pardon my candor, can it be kids like me don’t see Stanford |
Think we big dummies like the son of Fred Sanford |
Life full of questions, we just searching for the answers |
And all I’m hearing is |
Young, black, young black boy do you |
Young, black, young black boy do you |
Young, black, young black boy do you |
Know where you’re going? |
Know where you’re going? |
Young, black, young black boy do you |
Young, black, young black boy do you |
Young, black, young black boy do you |
Know where you’re going? |
Know where you’re going? |
Do you know where you’re going? |
Do you know where you’re going, know where you’re going? |
Do you know where you’re going? |
Do you know where you’re going, know where you’re going? |
Mama say a prayer for us |
And everyone who run with us |
My brother wasn’t thuggin' so |
Damn right, I was scared than a muh' |
Let’s go back, rewind some |
Street life shine, the moonlight’s the night sun |
Niggas on trees, never seen one climb one |
Go against my will then you might wanna write one |
I was on the scene, had my first gun at thirteen |
Scared to pull the trigger but these niggas they ain’t scared to kill me |
Swimmin' up shit’s creek, like a frat when I paddle it |
Through the city where they throwin' caps like a graduate |
Me and my friends runnin' from fate |
Death doin' his job, he never late |
Yo no rush, take your time, thoughts runnin' in the mind of a |
Young, black, young black boy do you |
Young, black, young black boy do you |
Young, black, young black boy do you |
Know where you’re going? |
Know where you’re going? |
Young, black, young black boy do you |
Young, black, young black boy do you |
Young, black, young black boy do you |
Know where you’re going? |
Know where you’re going? |
Black boy fly, your dreams so high |
It be sometimes a daily fight |
But don’t give up, you’ll rise above |
The powers be but you’ll be free |
Little black child |
How I love to see your little black smile |
Searchin' for love in a world that don’t care for you |
Neglected by all the people who should be there for you |
The children of crack, children of rap |
Hoop dreams that play they couldn’t dribble with that |
See it’s bad luck reflection doesn’t mirror you back |
If you forget that we kids, just remember you black |
See that means you great, that means you smart |
That means they give you nothing, make it to art |
See we tryna live it up as long as the Lord let us |
Never live forever so we tryna live better |
Dream chasers until the dreamers start to chase us |
Same things that break our spirits somehow make us |
To the future fathers please do me this one favour: |
Raise your seeds better than they raised us, please |
Young, black, young black boy do you |
Young, black, young black boy do you |
Young, black, young black boy do you |
Know where you’re going? |
Know where you’re going? |
Young, black, young black boy do you |
Young, black, young black boy do you |
Young, black, young black boy do you |
Know where you’re going? |
Know where you’re going? |
This I know, for your brown eyes tell me so |
Original, remember you come from gold |
Don’t forget your dreams are their biggest threat |
So know where you’re going, know where you’re going |
Do you know where you’re going, know where you’re going? |
Do you know where you’re going, know where you’re going? |
You wanna hear a joke? |
You ready? |
Black love |
Get it? |
