Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I refuse to be another black statistic
A black man who can wine and dine
In the sin of the world and still be considered a christian
I plan on being great, I care not to be less
[Verse 2]
I refuse to wear a bar code across my chest
I refuse to let a black tee or throwback jersey define me
I refuse to let my children witness divorce
Or make mature decisions in court
[Verse 3]
I refuse to grow up carrying a generational curse
I refuse to feel the need to curse in my verse
I hate being automatically looked at
When someone asks, can anyone rap?
[Verse 4]
I wanna be a lack man that can flip it
From urban to corporate measures
A black man who doesn't gain knowledge
Of the world for his own pleasures
A black man who reps Christ to the fullest with no regrets
[Verse 5]
My only regret is the stigma
That many black statistics in the past have set
Like going to jail, bragging about bail
Leaving our kids, cussing at church
Married and you still flirt, no father present at birth
Animosity within the ministers of our church
[Verse 6]
I refuse to let my people be viewed as temporary
I plan on planting a seed not for the moment
But for one that's legendary
As for statistics, my father broke the mode
And I feel it's my job for the next generation to continue in it
Because I refuse to be another black statistic
