Lyrics

Black hands made me who I am when my blood let me down
Took care of me when my own people shut down
Told you before, puttin' foster care at five
Remember feelin' sad, all I did was cry
I started runnin' away at ten years old
Remember sleepin' at the playground out in the cold
No mom, no dad, just the streets by my side
Gave me a place to stay and taught me how to survive
Livin' in the Jects felt like roaches paid the rent
Pallet on the floor, not one red cent
No money for food and the stove is broke
Out here in the streets and not a lot of hope
Y'all ain't never judged me and held open arms
Fed me, clothed me, kept me safe from harm
Givin' props for props I do, no matter my skin
I know who held me down when shit ramped in
When my mom gave me away, black hands held me up
That's nothin' but facts, you showed nothin' but love
Raised me up, gave me rhythm and soul
Taught me how to fight when the world turns cold
Y'all gave me my identity and made me who I am
Y'all helped me grow strong, now I move with a plan
Y'all taught me the game and taught me what's true
You also taught me about rhythm and blues
Taught me rhythm ain't color, it's something lived through
Every song has a story, make sure you stay true
I don't just rap, I try to strangle the mic
I just want you to feel every word that I write
I found my belonging, a community I love
Came here very young, can't seem to get enough
You taught me how to fight, you taught me how to move
How to read a room and not look like a fool
Real recognize real, I'll never switch sides
Been right here since 1975
Thank you black people for making me who I am
Y'all opened your arms and took me in like fam
When my mom gave me away, black hands held me up
That's nothin' but facts, you showed nothin' but love
Raised me up, gave me rhythm and soul
Taught me how to fight when the world turns cold
