Black boy
Black boy
You better calm down
Got kicked out of school
Now you're going out of town
Black boy
Black boy
Your daddies not around
And everything you do
Just to make your momma proud
Black boy
Black boy
All your teachers frown
Kid's say you the shit
Just cuz your skin look brown
Black boy
Black boy
can't take that girl to prom
Her daddy don't like niggas
So you know he bare arms
They see you as a color
Though you got the same palms
And if there's authority you better stay calm
Act out of line and there's another sonless mom
Cue amazing grace song
Black man
Black man
Why you not in college
got a price tag on your head
Even if it ain't acknowledged
You some money for them prisons
Or else they want you dead
Better watch out for the feds hiding under your bed
Black Man
Black Man
They say don't be a statistic
So you join the NFL
just a slave out on a field
They cheer when you get hit
But don't pray for you to heal
How it feel livin life knowing someone wants you killed
Black man
Black man
can't be nothin but rich
Cuz if you make just one mistake they'll put you in a ditch
They'll treat you like you're crabs and they got a real bad itch
They pack you like sardines so you never benefit
Black guy
Black guy
Why are they afraid of you
You got some good genetics
But they don't want your interview
They see you on the streets and they wanna get rid of you
They see you with a white wife, nice life, and you know you'll get ridiculed
Black bro
Black bro
Why they self hatin
That's that slave mentality
they mentally stuck on plantations
You'll always face brutality
And never takin vacations
These women only want you for alleged allegations
Human
Human
Something they'll never see you as
Exotic and unique
And their next scheduled broadcast
On the street they'll see you and accuse you of theft
While the real theifs on the run so you wind up all that's left
But Black Man
Black Man
Be proud of who you are
The ones with painful pasts shine like the brightest stars
