Black men of today lets start being fathers
And setting examples for our sons and daughters
Lets treat not only yourselves but women with respect
So the youth can grow up, think, and reflect
Men always held the family down and that's real good
But yo family is at home not in the hood
No its not in the streets or at the house of yo little side freak
They are the people who make you strong and never weak
Black men you are the MLK's, the Malcolm X's, and the Obama's in this world
So prove what you can do to every boy and every girl
You don't have to be a rapper or a basketball star
You got education so that's gonna take you far
Stop falling into the trap that the white man has laid
Be smart get your own label and get paid
It is up to you to set the path for others
For you for me for your sisters and brothers
Its not gonna be easy nothing ever is
But now teaching and respect should be the new dope biz
