"FOR COLORED BOYS"
You was born in a hospital with incompetent doctors Who didn't bother to press you against your mother's chest But that's okay 'cause Jehovah say that your mother blessed And we are here to guide you through life And teach you what is best Do not have your kids in a hospital, they don't give a fuck Especially 'bout black folk Learn how to deliver your own kids And have 'em at home, kid And leave that placenta attached as long as you want, kid It's different for black boys Harder for black girls Start your own business venture Thrive in a black world Where you and your homies don't gotta worry 'Bout gettin' fired and facin' discrimination We are creators; We don't go beggin' for placement where we are not wanted And I'mma keep it a hunnid youngin' We used to be hunted They had us sittin' in zoos So what you see in the news Is really nothin' that's new They really targetin' you You hear me talkin' to you? But even if your bread straight Big house, nice car, gotta keep your head straight People that be gossipin' constantly only dead weight Wiser assessments of situations will carry you to your best days Put away a portion of your profit when you get paid And do not be afraid of change It could be a segue To a better something But have patience And always make time for family and celebration And every good thing in life requires dedication Like career, wife, kids, and the spiritual The point of our existence isn't physical Make sure there is love in your livin' room And make sure that you there for the ones that you give it to And grudges'll do you no good Life is too short to be stressin' Love your friends for who they are If they there when you're down Then you should keep 'em around And then return that favor tenfold Everything you hidin' will be exposed So you should probably keep it a thousand youngin' and let go Embrace humiliation it's humblin' And take every situation for what it is Love is free so don't be possessive Love is a combination of lettin' go and holdin' tight You'll learn when to do which And get more love than you know what to do with And you gon' make mistakes 'cause homie you only human But that ain't no excuse to be foolish Treat your woman with respect That means keepin' it real Keepin' her in your mind If you about to be stupid Just think about how she feel Be honest with yourself Put your ego on the shelf And I promise you it helps You ain't gotta be what they expect Get to scrubbin' when you make a mess And treat your daughters same as your sons We growin' out of double standards Speakin' of standards Let's move away from the European Tell her she's beautiful Wide nose, coarse hair, brown eyes, brown skin Self-love for the win Why conform to a society that hates you, and spent all they energy tryna break you? Now they thinkin', "Y'all niggas still here?" Yeah, and y'all still scared Black boys still strong Slavery's still here Black boys still marked The prisons is still packed With innocent black boys The black boys still thrive The black girls still God Yeah
