Closer

Born sinner the beginning We was looked at different Black man in the US They want us in prison They put the dope in the hoods Families felt victim Used the drugs to enslave us Cause we getting richer Went from slaves To owning land up in Michigan Building cars city stars Was living large They want us broke No hope And living po We been kings and queens Back to Adam and Eve God created in his image So we Gods too Use your brain as your weapon Kids stay in school Dr. King had a dream And it's coming true Created different It's only one you We made the world what it is They couldn't live without us Invented almost everything I can name a thousand The mailbox The potato chip The blood bank The gas mask The traffic light And masking tape The ironing board The clothes dryer The lawn mower Automatic gear shift The Mop And peanut butter closer I get to God I see he made us different Real strong, determined and we independent Nothing worth anything Ever comes easy Pain is temporary But Quitting is easy Failure is an opportunity To feed off Dream big And be your own boss
