[Verse 1]
I'm a black man in a white world
I'm a black man in a white world
I'm a black man in a white world
I'm a black man in a white world
[Verse 2]
I just see the saddest life
A savage life
Snake and thieves
Every man has his price
It's held below
Who will or won't sell his soul
What's my go?
Go to jail or fail, hell no
In the streets there's a few ways out
'Cause face it, time is short
Think fast, while I resort
To a life of crime and fast cash
Nah, I'm destined to be king
Stayin' on the right path
[Verse 3]
I'm in love, but I'm still sad
I've found peace, but I'm not glad
All my nights, and all my days
I've been trying to run away
I left in the world, oppressed
How do I express my very own, Ghetto Gettysburg Address
My platform is a rap song
Black man is politically attacked on the norm
My life's survivin', at night I'm robbin'
Smokin', hopin, dreamin', speedin'
White lightnin's teamin'
Streets triflin'
I keep writin', it gets deeper
My brothers keeper, are we divided?
I've decided to keep risin'
[Verse 4]
I'm in love, but I'm still sad
I found peace, but I'm not glad
All my life, and all my days
I've been trying to run away
[Verse 5]
New York, New York, the irrefutable
They say that if you make it out here
It's beautiful
And the streets can deceive you when times are hard
And the pressure leaves your mind, body, and soul
So scarred
[Verse 6]
I'm in love, but I'm still sad
I found peace, but I'm not glad
All my life, and all my days
I've been trying to run away
[Verse 7]
We need to wisin' up
We risin' up
These times is rough
I'm a black man in a white world
For real
I'm a black man in a white world
For real
I'm a black man in a white world
Yeah
I'm a black man in a white world
Yeah
I'm a black man in a white world
Yeah
I'm a black man in a white world
I'm a black man in a white world
I'm a black man in a white world
I'm a black man in a white world
I'm a black man in a white world
