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
