Crown of Clay Stories

I'm black to the bones you can't take that away On slave ships they took my ancestors away But Africa is in me and I so proud to say Outta the mud I made my self a crown of clay It's tough out here I mean just trying to live It's 2 times tougher when you trying to leave The news steady choking feels like am trying to breathe Politicians steady lying and it's making me sick But still boys out here still looking sleek The ladies on the gram wanna bounce that cheek We steady popping pills Wrongly finding peace While we wait for a hero hoping someone speaks So don't tell me chill, This is how I feel If you young in the south you know what this is Young people chasing dreams wanna make that cheese It's a hard knock life we all just trying to leave I know the joke the memes keep us going too Bruh it's 2021 we got things to do Black lives matter yeah I know that is true But do you look out for your brother right next to you All hands on deck we all must contribute I am no Saint I'm just tryna speak the truth And I really hope this message makes sense to you my guy
