U，BLACK MAYBE

You've seen the way they done your boy And the boy still crying... crying... Crying.... Crying... Can't no go around They gon' play me down No one know just what's inside Doing dope and doing times Why they messin with ya mind Black maybe..... I heard the white man justice, black maybe I was delivered into this world as a crack baby Hard for me to pay attention and I act crazy I gotta get over from the tip I watched a fat lady sing a song On how we guerillas in warfare And I'm the king of the kongs They say we dreamin wrong The same streets them lingered on Now Walgreens are gone Hope is killed fiends are born We leanin on a wall that ain't stable It's hard to turn on the hood that made yu At least be afraid to To the same streets that raise you that made you can aide you But other black birds are caged to A rage up in the Harlem and the Southside Brothers are starving with their mouth wide open Float across the state Got the work out of plan So they can move weight The fate of Black man and woman and child Maybe... Can't no go around They gon' play me down No one know just what's inside Doing dope and doing times Why they messin with ya mind Black maybe..... Can't no go around They gon' play me down No one know just what's inside Doing dope and doing times Why they messin with ya mind Black maybe..... He had the game since he used to hoop the channel Neither the ghetto nor the defenders can trap him The Stones had his back and they panel He was living the life that they could fumble College's getting at 'em with all types of scholarships Even if he went they knew he would leave college quick For the pros The one from the hood that was chose The blace rose that grew in the jungle A humble stud still have rumble in this blood Woman all around give him the trouble love You know the love when you up and the down Cuz you're rap above they ground your win is there clown The dude's in the circle eating on for years Shared beers and cheers But chose different careers When paper and fame came they didn't know how to react The same stud shot him in the back now that's Black (nigga) Can't no go around They gon' play me down No one know just what's inside Doing dope and doing times Why they messin with ya mind Black maybe..... Can't no go around They gon' play me down No one know just what's inside Doing dope and doing times Why they messin with ya mind Black maybe..... When we talk about Black Maybe We talk about situation Of people of color And because you are that color You endure obstacles and opposition And not all the time from the other nationalities Sometimes it come from your own kind Or maybe in your own mind You get judged you get laughed at You get looked at wrong You get cited for not being strong Struggle just being you Struggle just being us Black maybe Black maybe... Can't no go around They gon' play me down No one know just what's inside Doing dope and doing times Why they messin with ya mind Black maybe.....
