How many names have been branded into all our hearts over the last few years
Like many of us, I became activated
What I mean by that
Is when Trevon was murdered
I discovered it was part of my purpose on this planet
To make sure
We have fewer names to wear
Like scars on our body
(Scars on our body)
(Scars on our body)
Mike
With all the young people who look up to you and idolize you
You have to be the difference
That make the difference
For our youth to understand
That they can achieve anything
They set out to accomplish
And believe they too have a purpose
Let’s teach our youngin’
The right way
Wanna know why I act like this
Why I’m black and I black like this
Straight chills when I rap like this
Pro-black pro growth I’m an activist
No chains will ever break me
Slave work I slave they pay me
My chances slim no shady
Black pride my pride it made me
Yea
Wanna know why I act like this
Why I’m black and I black like this
Straight chills when I rap like this
Pro-black pro growth I’m an activist
No chains will ever break me
Slave work I slave they pay me
My chances slim no shady
Black pride my pride it made me
Yea
Shifting the culture
Set tones show growth I’m a sculpture
They steal our trends like vultures
Turn around with a shrug cold shoulders
I know...
And my past was different
But yet its too common
Inner circles surrounding I don’t think gunshots uncommon
So I...
I move with a poise
With a different purpose
Different voice
When ya voice unheard gotta raise ya voice gotta up stand up have no choice
Protect yo’ peace good health
Our finances be fucked up cuz they never teach bout’ wealth
Rich Dad Poor Dad on shelf
I’m grateful for my help
My mother played mom and daddy roles
Only child but yet I rose as selfless through these selfish quotes
Straight silence when I spoke
Rather be aware then woke
I tell myself I’m close
I pave this lane we coast
But still
Wanna know why I act like this
Why I’m black and I black like this
Straight chills when I rap like this
Pro-black pro growth I’m an activist
No chains will ever break me
Slave work I slave they pay me
My chances slim no shady
Black pride my pride it made me
Yea
Wanna know why I act like this
Why I’m black and I black like this
Straight chills when I rap like this
Pro-black pro growth I’m an activist
No chains will ever break me
Slave work I slave they pay me
My chances slim no shady
Black pride my pride it made me
Yea
It’s time we all come together
And break the cycle of killing one another
It makes no difference if you’re black or white
We all bleed the same color blood
Let’s stop the hatred
