Pretty Black Future |
Check it out. |
Call him «Lil' Black Tarzan» |
Swing boy, sing not «Mommy» but «Amen» |
Hurry up, dress up, clean shirt, go |
Button up. |
ShowTime. |
Wait, shine your shoe off |
Bring it back. |
God don’t love nappy hair |
My shit broke the pick, though. |
Mama, I ain’t happy here |
See, I be in the zone and can’t remember quotes |
To Paul, David, and Matthew. |
I just woke |
Right before the missionary came |
To target my back for visionary gain |
You see, I was missing when they came |
The snake in the grass root hissing at a dame like |
Everybody wanna talk my blues. |
Can’t |
Walk my shoes, my pretty black future |
Got grey and I bottle up hate, say |
«Jesús new to the game. |
Y ou loser» |
Oh yeah I rock Circas, but no, I ain’t no skater |
I see you cop Jordans but no, you ain’t no player (nah) |
For me and what I do is mine, define major |
Never was a thug, but hon, I stay laser |
Dabble in some good rock—yes, I love hip hop |
For each to his own—I zone to where the beat stop |
Yes, I am a black man living within a white world |
I got my education, but no, don’t date no white girls |
Never said I wouldn’t, but only for right reasons |
Easy to get caught up and then it’s hunting season |
Get you in a setup and trying to take your freedom |
Ass ain’t getting me down—gimme Lakisha |
Pretty Black Future—winners are called losers |
But we still striving against those who use us |
We still define ourselves by our abusers |
Quit doing that shit—we'll reach heaven sooner |
Yeah. |
My money, my plight, my fight, my life, my mics, my shit, my future |
My money, my plight, my fight, my rights—take that from me and I’ll shoot ya |
Yeah. |
And paint a pretty black tomorrow |
With fear and a chokehold, move immortal |
Hurry up—no huddle |
My team first-down-bound—no time to cuddle (uh uh) |
Yeah. |
So it’s goodbye to love now |
Hello, mean-mug frown—this is how we get down |
Yeah. |
So it’s goodbye to love now |
Hello, mean-mug frown—this is how we get down |
So how does it feel to be one of the beautiful? |
How does it feel to be one of the beautiful? |
So, uh, Jesse Jackson we need some real action |
Let’s move these buffoons—fuck the jive turkey taxes |
I say it. |
Yo. |
Yes freedom. |
Yes land |
No warmonger president—feed Sudan |
And yes, we speak change but don’t do a damn thing |
Everyday be the same—bullshit still remains |
Remain my name—be not Marco Polo |
Discover new water. |
True I’m Marcus—I flow though |
Eh. |
Uh. |
I do it for the pretty black |
Yeah, sir. |
I do it for the future |
Uh. |
Yeah. |
I do it for the pretty black |
Come on. |
Yeah. |
I do it for the future |
