Black Boy

I’d be lying if I say I’m not the man
Swear to god never thought I’d see the end
On my life in a fight I never ran
Oh my god I’m the mother fucking man

They killed another black boy
His body’s on the street side
His mama on TV crying
Where were you black Jesus

She was in the kitchen whipping up
He was rapping stacking in the cut
Baby boy ran outta luck
Found a Lion cub to call his bluff
Shoulda ran
But you thought you were a man
Rattle snakes in the sand
This shit wasn’t in the plan
Now your baby gone
Took his last breath on his own
They stole your mamas joy
We lost another black boy

I’d be lying if I say I’m not the man
Swear to god never thought I’d see the end
On my life in a fight I never ran
Oh my god I’m the mother fucking man

They killed another black boy
His body’s on the street side
His mama on TV crying
Where were you black Jesus

He coulda been a Dr King
He coulda been a young Shakur
We coulda had a Basquiat
Chalk outline sketched on the floor
Slaughtered like a lamb
Didn’t make it to a man
He was 'spossed to make it out
This shit wasn’t in the plan
But now her baby gone
Took his last breath on his own
You stole a mothers joy
We lost another black boy

I’d be lying if I say I’m not the man
Swear to god never thought I’d see the end
On my life in a fight I never ran
Oh my god I’m the mother fucking man

They killed another black boy
His body’s on the street side
His mama on TV crying
Where were you black Jesus

They killed another black boy
His body’s on the street side
His mama on TV crying
Where were you black Jesus
