4T DAYZ - BLACK STAR YOUTH lyrics

{TIMAM RECORDS} BLACK BOY, BLACK PRINCE, BLACK STAR YOUTH, REVOLUTIONARY SYMBOL... They Should be Scared, They Should be running They Should be looking for cover, They Should be hiding They Should be trying to Silence or join you Instead They Choose to ridicule you They Could never Understand What you set out to do How Could they Understand, What was so Intricate To be loved by many, So intimate When You Got Weak, They Loved The Sight of your dimming & Flickering Starlight They First Demanded To Confiscate Your Spirit, because the evil fear it They Wanted to see your lifeless Corpse This Way you Could not Alter the Course Of Ignorance That they have Set, To make my people Abandon What They have done for much Too long, To just forget & Carry On I had Loved you forever because of who you are I saw Clearly Through you I Saw my Image, GOD'S Image But they Only See Your Tattoos, Your Jewellery, Your Hair that grows naturally, Your Piercings & body language They only Hear your Vulgar words, Defiant Messages & Un avoidable Controversy They See your life as a threat They Blame You for violence in Society They Pour disgust on you & Point Fingers at you for Problems In our Families Because you were bred of Ruthlessness & no one Seemed to Care BLACK BOY, BLACK PRINCE, BLACK STAR YOUTH, REVOLUTIONARY SYMBOL... We see you as The Dark truth they are Scared to accept We See you as the Voice We Sometimes Could not Find We See you as a young Malcolm X They thought an a**a**ins bullet would stop you As they tried with brother Mboya, brother King, PAC & Uncle Gandhi They thought Alcohol, Drugs, Women & Prison, would Consume You, as it did brother Malcolm Yet those that knew you, Knew you were on the way Out, You had Seen the light & moved towards it BLACK BOY, BLACK PRINCE, BLACK STAR YOUTH, REVOLUTIONARY SYMBOL... We felt your pain, Similar to ours We felt your Frustrations, Similar to ours You are an Un avoidable realness to Generation Y as they describe it Those that don't know, May never know But those that do know, Truly Know That to Generation Y You are MANDELA You are KIMATHI You are ELVISSSS PRESLEY, JOHN LENNON, BOB MARLEY You are MICHAEL JORDAN, MUHAMMAD ALI You are their MESSIAH, their SAVIOR You are their HERO, their FREEDOM FIGHTER You are the GREATEST EVER........... { 4T DAYZ}
