North Tales

Where I'm from we just happy to be here Pour some liquor for the homies who ain't here If you black cops can kill you in the crib The hood designed for you to never get ahead Reporting live from the city With 402 digits where kids get a life sentence Before they got a diploma Sorry niggas leave responsibilities to they baby mommas It's more blacks up in jail then it is in college Kids rather be a rapper or baller instead of doctors and lawyers By all means be what you wanna be I ain't knocking Just emphasizing broadened you options The NBA only offer 12 man a roster People going in debt just to be popular Social media got the whole world socially awkward People popping oxycontin just to face the problems Kids od every day by the hour They give a nigga life for crack But won't charge a doctor Founding fathers made laws to keep blacks at the bottom Let's be solutions not the problem Let's be solutions not the problem Where I'm from we just happy to be here Pour some liquor for the homies who ain't here If you black cops can kill you in the crib The hood designed for you to never get ahead Do yo own thang it ain't no pleasing the streets I'll probably die from corona or the crooked police I can't breathe head barely above water The court system don't won't black kids to have a father Every time we see a jail cell the system gaining profits Schools don't teach black history don't want it Common knowledge or suppress anything that brings black empowerment Let's stop the violence put our beef behind us There's strength in numbers we can't win the war divided Just imagine if we all decided boycotting Black trillion dollar spending power hit they fucking pockets Bet them corporations listen now Backs against the wall in they feelings now Hit they politician friends to sit us down If we had civil rights James Scurlock still be living now RIP RIP Bro Where I'm from we just happy to be here Pour some liquor for the homies who ain't here If you black cops can kill you in the crib The hood designed for you to never get ahead
