| My male role models drug dealers and thugs
|
| My father learned how to solve problems with guns
|
| And when I grew up, I learned what racism was
|
| And what teaching it does, and like my teachers would say:
|
| «Little Black boys have a place in the world
|
| Like hanging from trees, or dead in the street»
|
| Like I seen on TV
|
| All them boys they killed, they looked just like me
|
| Not like Brandon or Chandler, but Malik and Kareem
|
| I was born with a target, and it stuck to my skin
|
| And I learned in social studies, I was one of them men
|
| Who were locked in the chains, but not locked in the pen
|
| But I’m bigger than that, I’m the beginning and end
|
| I’m the sun and the moon
|
| I’m the light and the dark, I am life in the tomb
|
| I’m the pharaoh and slave, gentrifying my spirit
|
| It’s like a knife in the womb, refuse to act like a parrot
|
| Or to dance like a monkey; |
| see, your stance is apparent
|
| That’s why I’m here for the money, don’t care to cater to merit
|
| Y’all fetishizing my spirit, I see your culture’s dependent
|
| On what you didn’t inherit, won’t let my world be attempted
|
| I’m staying distant
|
| Who gonna be the reason why I get high?
|
| Who gonna be the reason why I turn over?
|
| Who gonna be the gunner that I don’t trust?
|
| Who gonna be the gunner that get they ass whooped?
|
| Who gonna be the reason why I get high?
|
| Who gonna be the reason why I turn over?
|
| Who gonna be the gunner that I don’t trust?
|
| Who gonna be the gunner that get they ass whooped?
|
| Who gonna be the reason why I get high? |
| (Bloodsucka!)
|
| Who gonna be the reason why I turn over? |
| (Bloodsucka!)
|
| Who gonna be the gunner that I don’t trust? |
| (Bloodsucka!)
|
| Who gonna be the gunner that get they ass whooped? |
| (Bloodsucka!)
|
| Who gonna be the reason why I get high? |
