[The-Dream:] Young black America Young black America Young black America Young black America Young black America Young black America [Meek Mill:] Yeah, I
was on that corner, tryna get my coins up Coppers run up on us and we turn to Jackie Joyner White man kill a
black man, they never report us Black man kill a
white man, they gon' start a
war up Mama she was sour, sipping on the
Absolut Young niggas brainwashed, they just wanna rap and hoop Could've been a
lawyer until they came and shackled you Felons on your records so them jobs ain't getting back at you Them kids ain't eat yet, so you can't even sleep yet That's the
only thing we ever saw, we repeat that They was playing ball, fouled him hard, said I'd be back Broad day, threw his life away, soon as he clapped Gave that boy a
life sentence, made his momma relapse Damn, they don't understand Coming from the
bottom, it's so hard to make a
plan Know them kids beefing, they let it get out of hand OGs never told us nothing in advance Young niggas killing young niggas, shit is like the
Klan, I
said Told my young nigga, "You the
man," I
said You don't wanna end up like my man Ahmed Praying five times a
day, prostration on his head Screaming isha Lord that he don't make it to the
feds Caught up in the
system, visit from his sister Talking 'bout all these niggas, how they ain't even with him Said they would ride or die, but it ain't even in 'em Always posting on the
'Gram, but hey ain't sending pictures Never answer when you call, but answer for them bitches Got you thinking twice, damn I
should've been a
witness Dismantle my business, just telling my story All guns, no glory, been going on before me We slaves in the
'40s, still slaves in the
present No toys for Christmas, ain't get us no presents Only made us evil, made us hungry, made us desperate Younging in the
9th grade, he got a
Smith and Wesson Grew up with the
goons, now he need protection He dropped outta school, then he got arrested Lord with a
blessing, I
just hope he learned his lesson They told us, if we go to jail, we would be respected They told us, if we make a
sale, we would run a
check in Threw a
rock out in that field, and got intercepted He stumbled, he fumbled, y'all niggas just rumble They told you to hustle, them niggas don't love you [The-Dream:] Young black American, (na na) Wanna live like the
fairer skin, (na na) Fall to the
paradigm, (na na) Occupied on that Marilyn, (na na) The
prophecies of the
wild nigga, no church My uncles said stop bitching nigga, no skirts It's kinda crazy there's another world on the
other side of town Pastor rolling up in that Rolls Pulling up in that Holy Ghost Preaching, while niggas dying by the
Bible code The
destruction, the
hate The
obstruction of my faith My prayers, my faith Will never be the
same Young black America Young black America Young black America Young black America Young black America Young black America Young black America Young black America Young black America Young black America Young black America
