Black Man In America |
| We will be here forever |
| Do you understand? |
| Forever and ever and ever and ever |
| Hey, this black man made it in America |
| Basketball and rap attract kids to get the hell out the area |
| Nowadays, niggas kill when you get ahead of them |
| So I back-track and get 'em some act right |
| 'Cause they confused the rap life for a trap life |
| Mentally, I ain’t rap tight |
| You fuck with me, your situation turn to Roy Jones' last fight |
| This money music, that mean you get offended |
| These words like liquor when I’m bartending |
| Mama taught me well, she hold a hammer for me |
| She pray for me when I get it, it’s mandatory (Mandatory) |
| Call me Big Unc and I’ll cosign ya |
| Bankrolls, rolling blunts, I’ll be your role model |
| Drug addicts go cold chicken |
| They veins pop out, they say, «Red, feed me what I ain’t gettin'» |
| I can get in my car and get out |
| And the same song is on when I get back in and get out |
| Check my archives, my stage show is like a bar fight |
| You want it, had to write Sean Price |
| I’m a legend, don’t call me old-school |
| I move niggas like they building in a Whole Foods |
| And you gotta be ready for drama |
| Especially, when bloods and crips is livin' by your mama, I’m breathless |
| Reality speaking, dem all baby |
| Legendary, man ah bust it from the 80s |
| Dem fi know me head sicker than rabies |
| Black in America, yeah, don’t play me |
| When we ah step, dem swear see ah di navy |
| Revolution kick off like inna '80 |
| Dem fi know me head sicker than rabies |
| Black in America, yeah, just pay me |
| Hey, this black man made it in America |
| Facts, my blood kill live rats |
| I’m one like a snowflake |
| Abstract, that’s why I take her to that Mad Max |
| And I grew up across from cemetery |
| That’s why my commentary sound like your obituary |
| Grown man talk, we got our Denzel on |
| I told LL I’m just getting warm (Nigga, haaa) |
| Nigga, tristate, when niggas dying over bullets or they prostate |
| And cops against blacks never gon' migrate |
| I ain’t gettin' shot, they try to pull me over, I turn it to a car chase |
| These little kids in the gang violence |
| Artists gettin' called hip-hop but they ain’t rhyming |
| Ya’ll voted for 'em, now they a rockstar |
| I feel like a black film tryna get an Oscar |
| God, forgive me for my sins |
| You dealt me these cards so I’m gon' play it to win |
| And I’m tryna get forty more haters |
| So I can sign 'em on to the «Reggie, I hate 'em but glad he made it», |
| I’m breathless |
| Reality speaking, dem all baby |
| Legendary, man ah bust it from the 80s |
| Dem fi know me head sicker than rabies |
| Black in America, yeah, don’t play me |
| When we ah step, dem swear see ah di navy |
| Revolution kick off like inna '80 |
| Dem fi know me head sicker than rabies |
| Black in America, yeah, just pay me |
| Hey, this black man made it in America |
| Can you believe how I did it? |
| I had faith and had God as my witness |
| I couldn’t just be an artist, I had to learn the business |
| And haters on the side, they tried to sell me wolf tickets |
| But I’m still relevant, me and rap, we got a life sentence |
| Success is like a bank loan, it’s hard to get |
| I worked hard for everything, I wasn’t offered it |
| And it’s up to me to show my babies how to be a boss |
| I teach 'em how to win, but also how to take a loss |
| And education is key but nowadays |
| I’d advise you to learn a trade and not depend on a college degree |
| I sold drugs but I don’t have no story to tell |
| 'Cause music always was my life, Patti LaBelle |
| As long as I love, you get honor and dedication |
| And fuck the media interrogating, I’m breathless |
| You see it on the news, you see it on social media |
| But when you a black man in America |
| It’s very scary and terrifying, believe me |
| Sometimes I wonder |
| Will there ever be equality for a black man in America |
| I doubt it |
