Dandii Sun - Sun2u lyrics

[Intro:] To my dearest baby Joshua Are you infatuated with the color of your skin? Are you obsessed with the intensity of your complexion? Black meaning Presence of strength Presence of soul Presence of confidence Or black meaning Absence of color Absence of father Absence of morals What stereotype do you blast to tune out static to? [Verse 1:] I can never watch the sunset from the noose Every cloud a rich man hides inside Holds a rope that a poor man can bear as a noose I can never view a waterfall from a pool A paradise lost in a paradise tossed If I gamble all my life by a slice of the fruit Adam and Eve want to preach to the youth Preach to the youth Preach to the youth Adam and Eve want to preach to the youth Stumbled in my asics cause I never knew balance Or four legged snakes was strictly biblical truth Troubled since a youth I remember bathroom mirror spelling blood with my fingers Trying to properly pronounce suwoop Young black boy with a target on his noggin Nodding to the gospel of a carpentering Jew Ocean boulevard I make a left and down harbor Moses going hard part waves like a barber I'mma' ask a wave its opinion on a slave Waves say that they sink a lot faster when they're darker Hate illustrate black face like an author Hate illustrate black face gone be dead A black boy want to be a book when he grows up Eyes or a bullet either way he'll be read Ten years old and want to hit the tenth chapter Every page that came after had been torn into shreds I don't think I like my skin anymore Nah cocoa puff Mr. Fresh Cauliflower One is artificial and the other one is pure One'll need a tissue if the other grabs a missile Double dribble Double sentence That's the penalty in court The constitution giving handjobs to every crooked cop The way they get off receive and a small reward Like every black boy with a gun need a sword Every store clerk needs to cancel EBT cards If they find a shard of broken gla** on the floor Don't be a victim if your skins burnt sienna The sun will still have a lot of light left to absorb Great white shark vs crabs in a bucket If we all come together we can push him of the shore Sally shore did move them seashells stand up and stand When she seen that these crabs meant war like n***a I just want my mind back n***a I just want my times back Like n***a I just want my kind back The tortoise and the hare reached the finish line at the same time I just want my race back I just want pride in my face back I just want pride in us men back I just want pride in my skin back And to remember You are a person before you are a black person Baby Joshua [Outro:] Oh the itches in my ears to change stations when news broadcast another black male dead I-i grip you tighter with a country so out of shape how can I not be alarmed by the wake up call for you to stretch your legs exercise your right and run for your race of you must run for the little black boys at heart who his pupils were not dilated to the significance of god's rainbow so they stick to what they know Black and white Wrong and right
