All That I Am |
| All that I am |
| All that I know |
| All that I ever will be and though |
| Out of the mouth of a black man scorned |
| I see you laughing with swollen eyes |
| Life beat a mother when you’re playing the losing side |
| But I, dream deferred |
| Vision’s blurred |
| A hustle served |
| And anyone who would listen, respect is earned |
| A lesson’s learned |
| How many sleepless night’s have you |
| How many? |
| How many shift the state have you watched it turn it to fade away |
| While you use all tricks to backtrack |
| Try to be right and exact |
| But lack of paper will make a nigga act |
| Like a nigga, forget that he black |
| Moms is working two jobs |
| Pops is worshiping two gods |
| Yo hard times at the bar downtown |
| Wondering, what’s on God’s mind |
| Truth is born |
| From the soul of a black man sworn |
| To barren streets from the east, souls get raised |
| Diamonds reflect |
| Pimped out days where my uncle lays his game down |
| He’s in the galaxy of game and never came down |
| He’s from the same town |
| I mean planet as them, ya know |
| Donald Goines and Iceberg Slim |
| Had a precious angel sharpest in the stable |
| Blond wig, with a pierced naval |
| He branded her his angel |
| In disguise |
| Eating his pockets and feeding him lies |
| After a few broken arms and black guys |
| She wrote a book to make his favor rise |
| Then sold to a system where he’ll never breathe again |
| Down to Earth just to leave again |
