Righteous - YOUNG BLACK MAN lyrics

[Intro: Malcolm X] No matter how many bills pa** Black people in that country, where I'm from, still our lives Are not worth two cents, and the government has shown It's inability, or either it's unwillingness to do whatever Is necessary to protect life and property where the black American is concerned [Hook] Young black man chasing dreams, huh? Young black man gettin' beat, huh? Young black man want the c.r.e.a.m, huh? Young black man just want to be a king, huh? Young black man pay his bills, huh? Young black man wanna feel huh? Young black man on a drill, huh? He on a drill but everybody out to k** him, huh? [Verse 1] Everybody out to murder us they violent Now the black mans home is where the cryin' is God damn it's a shame that they lying man (lying) Saying all we do is murder, its a giant sin (boss) History tried to tell me that I'm cotton bound And they think I'm going back, shut your rotten mouth All these people they support us on their common couch Won't humanity? let's go and we can walk it out Living for the need of the love and peace Mythically, people think not doing sh** gon' make it breed But what the f** gon' happen when we sit and see Watching every one of my brothers bleed including me We already get the lower liquin' gettin' jobs And we still get treated brutally by f**ing cops Made a song called 12, tryna make it stop Feels like 12 centuries we've been robbed [Hook] Young black man chasing dreams, huh? Young black man gettin' beat, huh? Young black man want the c.r.e.a.m, huh? Young black man just want to be a king, huh? Young black man pay his bills, huh? Young black man wanna feel huh? Young black man on a drill, huh? (Nah but these people still aren't getting in my n***a) [Verse 2] Everybody saying that we ghetto n***a Yeah the puppets fed you that, its geppetto n***a Had my brothers dying thinking I'll be mellow n***a You shoutin' all lies, tell that to your fellow n***a That you always with, cause all don't like black You think you saying peace, but you saying take us back To Africa, we just tryna say that we matter bruh You keep thinking we is anti-white that's not our character Always talking 'bout we make you guilty But you put yourself inside that circle, made you filthy Like damn you need an [?], boot out that mindset Cause you don't get it or you ain't seen it We ain't honest? please Struggle that we get is overlooked Saying we ain't slaves no more, boy take a look Yeah we still gettin' k**ed, gettin' hung, gettin' cheated And your pride in the fake is making sure You won't believe it [Hook] Young black man chasing dreams, huh?
