BEING BLACK HAS IT'S NEGATIVE AND
POSITIVE OUTCOME
FROM SLAVERY THROUGH THE CIVIL RIGHTS
BLACK PEOPLE HAD A HARD TIME
THE RACIST REMARKS IS STILL GOING ON
LIKE LYRICS IN A SAD SONG
OVER AND OVER AGAIN OUR HEADS
ARE FILLED WITH HATRED AND CRITICISM
STRAY BULLETS FLYING INTO INNOCENT
VICTIMS
WE THOUGHT TIME HEALED
GUESS OUR DECISIONS AREN'T REAL
THINGS HAVEN'T CHANGED EVEN IN THE
FUTURE
ONLY THE SONGS ARE NEW
"BEING BLACK" IS A STRUGGLE AT TIMES
BUT WE ARE MAKING IT
ALOT OF TIMES WE AS A BLACK SOCIETY WE
LOOK AT OUR HANDS
AND THINK TO OURSELVES
WE MADE IT THAT FAST
WHEN IT COMES TO POLITICS WE ARE VIEWED
DIFFERENTLY BELIEVE ME
THIS WORLD IS CONFUSING ME IT'S SO SAD
FEELS LIKE WE ARE LOOKING THROUGH STAINED
GLASS
THE IMAGES OF BLACKS ON TV IS SO
CRITICAL
IN MY OPINION MOST OF THE RAPPERS
ARE UNLYRICAL
CALLING BLACK FEMALES OUTSIDE THEIR
NAMES
AND NOT BEING ASHAME
JUST THERE FOR THE FAME
IT SEEM LIKE A GAME
YOUNG EDUCATED MEN TRYING TO
BE LIKE THESE LAMES, WANNABE'S
AND LATER ON GONNA BE'S THROWING
KNOWLEDGE DOWN THE DRAIN
COME ON NOW BLACK MEN
BE A POSITIVE INFLUENCE FOR THE
YOUNGER KIDS
SHOW THE OTHER RACE HOW WE
LIVE
SHOW THEM WE GOT TO HUSTLE
TO PAY THE BILLS
SO USE TO SEEING THE WHITE MEN
DRIVING THE MERCEDES
NOW THE BLACK MEN ARE RISING
TO THE TOP AND DRIVING THE
DROP TOP
NOW WHAT!
