Mo'MoneyManza - Nostalgia lyrics

I used to feel alone. Out of place. Without a trace, of my people. Darker than me but too blind to see, what we once were. We used to rule now we the fool in the eyes of you. But it ain't true. Not saying we better- don't get me wrong. That's not the case. Truth is we can't be blind to race. Biologically mythical, yes, but in society physical. It's real, not cynical. Genital - of the black man only upper hand that he's got. But the horse is hung too. Dehumanize us, and make a big fuss- paint us as rapists, though numbers are same if you see the statistics. We suppose to believe it's jealousy that fuels the hate from you to me? (Huh) That - I refuse to see. Whether it was curly head kid from sixth grade, who said things like, "don't drown Wade! Take your a** back to Africa, with the flies and sh**." Or "return to Spain you spic. You make me sick. Good for nothing, Mexican." That ain't even my place of origin. Christian kids, but they spittin' sins. Spat and kicked at. Threatened with bat Curly thought I was from Mexico, but I remember a time ago, when knives pulled from Vatos, those he considered my peoples. Cornered - back against the wall Prayin' to God don't let this be my final fall. Me in the middle, soon to be victim of sacrificial ritual. I talked my way out of it. Words saved me that day. White didn't. Black didn't. Latino didn't. But f** it. Mentally messed with and though I'm a blessed kid, Others aren't. The cops that stopped me Never popped me, Only dropped me. Searchin' head to toe Me and my brother at car show. It's a blessin'- just to be lightskin. Remember, It's the black You can't take from me Military mindset, you can't shake from me. Our journey lives on like The Odyssey, So listen up as I praythee Let's live out America's true Creed That all of us Are guaranteed Equal and free!
