Dear Black Boyz Anthem

Just know that you the One that was chosen Even though they tried to teach you That your options limited And your success is nearly hopeless So you got to swim in the deep end Where the sharks is potent If you cant swim Then I really pray you good at floating Got to learn fast Aint no mercy coming from these oceans With every wave Comes a test to your emotions You got to Get over it or make it under it Aint always calms seas It might be thundering See one of your brothers next to you Struggling will have you wondering How can you help him When you yourself are suffering Now you got to reach land For both And come back with boats But when you make it on the shoreline You see you got So much further to go So much further to go And the look up on your face is like You just seen ghosts On horses with torches Lower case Ts burning slow Heart beating fast Because you aint never heard of Jim Crow Whoa But off you go Now you got to Lace up your boots And trek through the dirt and desert But now the Hue of your skin More convenient than ever The scars on your back are just Proof to your endeavors Just keep it going Even when you think It will never get better Front line so theres a target On your front and your back Youll take hits but you gone see you much stronger than that To take you out man Its gone take a lot more than just that If you ask me Man Im speaking more than just facts Drowning in sweat Youll see the dirt turn to street Face a different type of heat And hear a different type of beat Got to be quick on your feet Or have your face Pressed against the concrete Because your descriptions a wide reach Black male between 5 5 and 6 9 Even with your own kind You might be forced to pick side So pick a color any color They all the same price Thats a dollar ninety nine and a life Yikes But say you was never part of that life And had some kids with a wife Big house with a job Where they was paying you right You still generational curses to break And trauma to deal with Everything your mother taught you Was taught to her real quick And her teacher had Wounds to heal from But nothing to heal with Im just saying everybody teaching Been on their own field trip Had to work harder Because you started off With nothing to build with But yet you still build buildings You still raise ceilings And execute visions You still break molds And you still owed trillions Four hundred years a slave Not even one sixty free What was passed down Aint dilute enough to forget the trees So its just heart broken people Teaching heart broken things Whether its right or its wrong It get stuck in your brain Like the plot is to put you in a box And make it your domain But you can not Let them put on that lock You got to break the chains Be the change Its a must No it aint easy It takes guts Gone be times you want to quit Dont give up Nah dont give up Take a breath feel that rush Hit the clutch And kick up dust Make them sneeze Thats what they need Experiment like Tuskegee Ay ay You got it Yea yea You God it Ay ay You got this You got it You God it Ay ay You got it Yea yea You got it Ay ay You got it You got it Thats right you God it Who got it Who God it Who got it Who God it Who got it You got it You God it You got it You God it You got it
