作曲 : Avery Marcel Joshua Jones |
| [00:24.63] |
You was born in a hospital with incompetent doctors |
| [00:28.04] |
Who didn't bother to press you against your mother's chest |
| [00:30.88] |
But that's okay, |
| [00:31.87] |
'Cause Jehovah say that your mother blessed |
| [00:33.85] |
And we are here to guide you through life |
| [00:35.59] |
And teach you what is best |
| [00:36.94] |
Do not have your kids in a hospital, |
| [00:38.80] |
They don't give a **** |
| [00:39.94] |
Especially 'bout black folk |
| [00:41.32] |
Learn how to deliver your own kids |
| [00:43.49] |
And have 'em at home, kid |
| [00:45.00] |
And leave that placenta attached as long as you want, kid |
| [00:48.20] |
It's different for black boys, harder for black girls |
| [00:51.22] |
Start your own business venture, thrive in a black world |
| [00:54.43] |
Where you and your homies don't gotta worry 'bout |
| [00:56.90] |
Gettin' fired and facin' discrimination |
| [00:58.82] |
We are creators; we don't go beggin' for placement |
| [01:01.89] |
Where we are not wanted |
| [01:03.11] |
And I'ma keep it a hunnid, youngin', |
| [01:05.21] |
We used to be hunted |
| [01:06.47] |
They had us sittin' in zoos |
| [01:07.98] |
So what you see in the news |
| [01:09.36] |
Is really nothin' that's new |
| [01:10.90] |
They really targetin' you |
| [01:12.41] |
You hear me talkin' to you? |
| [01:13.92] |
But even if your bread straight |
| [01:16.09] |
Big house, nice car, gotta keep your head straight |
| [01:19.05] |
People that be gossipin' constantly only dead weight |
| [01:22.15] |
Wiser assessments of situations |
| [01:23.96] |
Will carry you to your best days |
| [01:26.00] |
Put away a portion of your profit when you get paid |
| [01:29.03] |
And do not be afraid of change |
| [01:30.64] |
It could be a segue |
| [01:32.10] |
To a better something |
| [01:33.84] |
But have patience |
| [01:35.30] |
And always make time for family and celebration |
| [01:38.15] |
And every good thing in life requires dedication |
| [01:41.19] |
Like career, wife, kids, and it's spiritual |
| [01:43.82] |
The point of our existence isn’t physical |
| [01:46.04] |
Make sure there is love in your livin' room |
| [01:48.37] |
And make sure that |
| [01:49.27] |
You there for the ones that you give it to |
| [01:51.33] |
And grudges'll do you no good |
| [01:53.73] |
Life is too short to be stressin' |
| [01:55.69] |
Love your friends for who they are |
| [01:57.19] |
If they there when you’re down |
| [01:58.90] |
Then you should keep 'em around |
| [02:00.52] |
And then return that favor tenfold |
| [02:01.96] |
Everything you hidin' will be exposed |
| [02:04.23] |
So you should probably |
| [02:05.57] |
Keep it a thousand youngin' and let go |
| [02:07.48] |
Embrace humiliation it’s humblin' |
| [02:09.53] |
And take every situation for what it is |
| [02:12.05] |
Love is free so don't be possessive |
| [02:14.33] |
Love is a combination of lettin' go and holdin' tight |
| [02:17.68] |
You’ll learn when to do which |
| [02:19.14] |
And get more love than you know what to do with |
| [02:21.54] |
And you gon' make mistakes 'cause, |
| [02:23.00] |
Homie, you only human |
| [02:24.36] |
But that ain't no excuse to be foolish |
| [02:26.42] |
Treat your woman with respect |
| [02:27.99] |
That means keepin' it real |
| [02:29.38] |
Keepin' her in your mind |
| [02:30.89] |
If you about to be stupid |
| [02:32.46] |
Just think about how she feel |
| [02:33.93] |
Be honest with yourself |
| [02:35.77] |
Put your ego on the shelf |
| [02:37.21] |
And I promise you it helps |
| [02:38.77] |
You ain't gotta be what they expect |
| [02:40.73] |
Get to scrubbin' when you make a mess |
| [02:43.03] |
And treat your daughters same as your sons |
| [02:44.83] |
We growin' out of double standards |
| [02:46.81] |
Speakin' of standards |
| [02:48.09] |
Let's move away from the European |
| [02:49.61] |
Tell her she's beautiful |
| [02:51.17] |
Wide nose, coarse hair, brown eyes, brown skin |
| [02:54.11] |
Self-love for the win |
| [02:55.74] |
Why conform to a society that hates you |
| [02:59.02] |
And spent all they energy tryna break you? |
| [03:01.33] |
Now they thinkin', "Y'all ****** still here?" |
| [03:03.61] |
Yeah, and y'all still scared |
| [03:05.24] |
Black boys still strong |
| [03:06.76] |
Slavery's still here |
| [03:08.20] |
Black boys still marked |
| [03:09.76] |
The prisons is still packed |
| [03:11.24] |
With innocent black boys |
| [03:12.71] |
The black boys still thrive |
| [03:14.35] |
The black girls still God |
| [03:15.92] |
Yeah |
| [03:17.56] |
I love you |
| [03:18.71] |
I love you, too |
| [03:19.92] |
I love you, too |
| [03:21.10] |
My big boy |
| [03:23.60] |
You're my big boy, |
| [03:24.88] |
I wanna read Hank the Hungry Caterpillar |
| [03:27.92] |
You wanna read Hank the Hungry Caterpillar? |
| [03:29.57] |
'Kay |
| [03:30.26] |
Okay |
