Living in a world where i'm frowned upon
Simply for being black the only thing the
World can see me doing is dead, locked up,
Or selling crack but that simply just ain't the facts
The blacker the soil the more the plant will grow
The greater the darkness the more you inspire
My light to show brainwashing the black
Generations despite the potential they've been
Given they lack determination you've been
Destined for greatness so why the hesitation
Momma don't care no father figure lacking the
Family foundations all this information seems
Redundant if so why my people ain't prospering
In abundance sick of this racial downfall we not
Suppose to be putting others down instead 1st base
Picking you up like a ground ball only 5'5 and I
Stand tall sick of this discrimination it's like I'm by
Myself this is my frustration

Racism...like 2Pac said, "the darker the flesh, the deeper the rules."
