black people

dam

what has the world come to

i swear that we used to be slaves

and martin luther king had a dream

and i bet that he turnin' over in his grave

look at how we behave

my black people

we don't even act equal

we act evil

why

because it's easy and we see diamonds and then our favorite rappers go off and preach violence

for weak minded

because we follow that shit

we went from leaders

to be followin' shit

so we bottle it in like we don't see it

when we know we believe it

so i'm hear to make you change for a reason

my black people

uhh

i'm just a kid from las vegas

and i ain't trynna come up like i'm racist

and lately i've been feelin like we act evil

so i had to do this for my black people

time to make a change

sayin' it loud i'm black and i'm proud

and i'm about to make a change starting now

i look at the generation under us

and i wonder how they gone do it

our great grandparents fought for our rights

now we got them and we sit up and abuse em

it's time to make a change

but i ain't god

ya'll ain't gonna listen

ya'll just gonna sit up and nod

and tell me that i'm hot and say i need a deal

if it come

then it come

but i'm talking about what's real

it takes one day

it takes one smile

put your fist up

put the gun down

nigga be a man

don't do what you can for nothing

cause if your gonna stand better stand for somethin'

black people wanna know why they winning

wanna know why we looked at so different

cause we allow these little black children to raised by a fucking television

are you kidding me dog

you teaching kids how to be fresh

but you forget to teach them how to have some respect

so they walk around without it

never what's up

we need to teach these kids to be better than us

but we don't

so why bother

if we won't

than why offer

life's crazy but it gets a little harder

we like being flashy

bbut we love being fathers my black people

uhh

i'm just a kid from las vegas

and i ain't trynna come up like i'm racist

and lately i've been feelin like we act evil

so i had to do this for my black people

time to make a change

sayin' it loud i'm black and i'm proud

and i'm about to make a change starting now

and we go'n do it like this

put your fist in the air if you feel this

this is a public announcement

put your fist in the air if you feel this

uhh

i'm just a kid from las vegas

and i ain't trynna come up like i'm racist

and lately i've been feelin like we act evil

so i had to do this for my black people
