Black Man In America

(альбом: Hall Of Fame 2.0 - 2021)

Uh, yeah
I guess
I guess, I fucking guess

Wanted hood fame 'cause the love different
Mobbing with the gang, daily drug dealing
Rappers who to blame for me mud sipping
Puddle full of pain come from blood dripping
Just designer shoes, really no ambition
He just saving for the next club kicking
Shawty ain't got no morals but a dime or a five, only time we judge bitches
Feel like fuck the world, fuck his enemies
Dead niggas in his lungs hitting
Nigga, ain't no guidance when them thugs drilling
Just a bunch of sirens and them slugs spitting
Mama told me the block gon' always be there
But not if it's gentrified, I'm just repping where I was raised
Nigga, I ain't never had me an option to pick a side
Lot of shit changed in the hood when my niggas died
Really don't shed tears but a nigga cry
Whether it's us or police, we get victimized
Angry and ignorant, we never civilized
Fuck a political figure 'cause I'm still a nigga
Can't win me over with a stimulus bribe
Still want me stuck in the system
They hate that we chosen to kill 'em inside
I can't breathe and this mask can't muzzle me
Can't conform and they hate my reluctancy
Yeah, I made it out the hood but it's stuck in me
From the slums, always where the trouble be
Ain't a rapper in my lane that can fuck with me
Man, this whole new generation is under me
Don't know how I can say that shit humbly
Way at the top, I'm just waiting for company

I mean it's, it's lonely up here, like
It's cold, all type of shit, like
But, nah, for real, though, like
I just really be thinking sometimes, I hear myself spitting
I'm like, "Who can really fuck with me?"
But that's another discussion

Do this shit for my ancestors in them slave fields rocking corduroys
You can get the picture like a Polaroid
Niggas say we opps and we don't know them boys
When these rappers talking, I be so annoyed
Say they making noise but it's only noise
A confrontation, what I won't avoid
My confidence, that's what they won't destroy
These niggas missed they targets, hit the youth
They ain't tryna bargain, they just shoot
The apple don't fall too far from the tree
Them guns that's loaded like forbidden fruit
Line 'em all up then it's R.I.P., ain't apologizing in the booth
A prophecy, my life the living proof
Give props to me, what I don't hear 'em do
Keep saying I'm the G.O.A.T. and they never believe it
Quite frankly, I'm getting tired of telling you, Cletus
I been on the roll like I'm paraplegic
Way up on the opps, we'll never get even
A lot of sick talk when them weapons be speaking
Go cry to white chalk 'cause they left him not breathing
Slave to the block 'cause they chop what they teaching
That's why we outside in whatever the season
A hundred years ago, they would've hanged us
Before Cuban links, we was chained up
Free the ones, the asset that we pray for
Know a constitution never made us
I'm just waiting on a revolution
With no fear, I'm older when that day come
Either house nigga or a mansion nigga
That refusing's covered up a pay cut

[Fred Hampton:]
I'm the Deputy Chairman of the State of Illinois Black Panther Party, Fred Hampton
I be teaching that solidarity is a thing
The end of, complete wipe out of imperialism is a thing
So, if you're gon' be thinking about me, that's what Bobby would be teaching
If you're gon' be thinking about, "Ain't no thing about going nowhere, getting killed"
All we want to know is that you're doing what we'd be doing if we were here
And you got to do that
You can't do it unless you believe that you can do it
