U, Black Maybe |
| Can’t come around |
| They gon’wanna bring you down |
| No one knows just what’s inside |
| Doing dope and doing time |
| Why they messing with your mind |
| Black maybe… |
| I heard a white man’s yes |
| Is a black maybe |
| I was delivered in this world |
| As a crack baby |
| Hard for me to pay attention |
| And I act crazy |
| Gotta get over from the tip |
| I watch the fat lady sing a song |
| On how we guerillas in warfare |
| And I’m the kingest kong |
| They say we dreamin wrong |
| Them same strips that them older cats lingered on Now the walgreens is gone |
| Hope is killed fiends are born |
| We leanin on a wall that ain’t that ain’t stable |
| Its hard to turn on the hood that made you |
| To leave We afraid to the same streets that raised you |
| Can aid you. |
| What other black births came suit |
| the rage up in harlem and the southside |
| Brothers is starving with there mouth wide open |
| Floating across state got the workout plans so they can move weight |
| The fate of the black man, woman, and child maybe |
| He had game since he used to hoop at chattum |
| Neither the ghetto nor defenders could trap him |
| The stones had his back and they’d pat him |
| He was living a life they couldn’t fathom |
| Colleges getting at him with all type of scholarships |
| Even if he went they knew he’d leave college quick |
| For the pros the one from the hood that was chose |
| The black rose that grew in the jungle |
| But humble stud still had rumble in his blood |
| Women all around giving him trouble love |
| You know the love when you up they down |
| Cause you wrap a ball they round |
| Your win is their crown |
| Dudes in the circle he known for years |
| Shared beers and cheers but chose different careers |
| when paper and fame came they ain’t know how to react |
| Them same studs shot him in the back |
| Now that’s black… maybe |
| When we talk about black maybe |
| We talk about situations |
| Of people of color and because you are that color |
| You endure obstacles and opposition |
| And not all the time from… from other nationalities |
| Sometimes it come from your own kind |
| Or maybe even your own mind |
| You get judged. |
| you get laughed at. |
| you get looked at wrong |
| You get sighted for not being strong |
| The struggle of just being you |
| The struggle of just being us. |
| black maybe |
| black maybe… |
