Testi

Awe man
Yeah
Here we go again
Uh
They said the grass is not green on the other side
They said Stephen won't ever be televised
Ima make 'em feel sorry don't apologize
We goin' place the flowers down and just homogenize
I want to see my peoples be a hero not a villain
Why Black Lives only matter when the cops is killing
Why don't you be a pharmacist instead of drug dealing
I'm not hating I'm just saying exactly what I'm feeling
I know It's been a long time since I been through it
When I get mad I grab a pad and put the pen to it
My teacher told I will fail
Be dead or in jail
So I came back to let 'em know that I will prevail
People watched me trip
Didn't tell me tie my shoes up
I had a job that told me cause I'm black I couldn't move up
I'm African American
My voice is deep
And being black is me
My height past 6 feet
Uh
My skin is
Black
My kids is
Black
My car is
Black
My fam is
Black
My style is
Black
All I know is black I was born like that
Don't Judge a book by the cover
Read the first page
You read my chapters you will see I had my worst days
Uh
During lockdown I had braids
Cops pulled me over when I should've of used Waze
Uh
Pig going asked me if my car stolen
He said my hands is empty
But he know I'm still holding
I said
Here's my license you can go and check it
You will see makin' tracks is my only record
I wouldn't have made it home
It is wasn't for someone with a camera phone
Cause this pig calmed his tone
He got back in his car
To head back to the farm
I'm just thanking god
Because my life could've been gone
Real talk
My skin is
Black
My kids is
Black
My car is
Black
My fam is
Black
My style is
Black
All I know is black I was born like that
Uh
My skin is
Black
My kids is
Black
My car is
Black
My fam is
Black
My style is
Black
All I know is black I was born like that
Uh
Don't judge a book by the cover
We gotta love each other
Yeah
