You know it is tough growing up
then you mix in black and poor
being told that you're not good enogh
and then finding your history's obscure
I mean man even the foreigners
be looking at me with disdain
why do they get a head start
how did they get on the mane?
Their impression of me is troublesome
it does not matter if we never met
quick to curse me in their native tongue
for I am immediately seen as a threat
You know I've been seeing this shyt forever
I'm talking from now to when I was young
it is almost like the world has an endeavor
that's to treat the African American like dung
But I will put my money on my people
somehow we will turn this thing around
and I am talking way past being equal
soon Gods people will wear the crown
"move on blackman, move on"
"you gotta move on, blackman move on" - Brand Nubian.
