My Perspective

Black on Black

See from my perspective
Been thinking about this election
I wish we could've had more selections
Wish they saw from our perspectives
Being scared of guessing
What the future of our country holds
Y'all already living large
We gotta stay on our toes
See from my perspective
I get on IG
And see another chick around 23 about to drop a baby
Don't wanna see from that perspective
But Im still acting reckless
Skipping out on contraceptives
See from my perspective
I'm fucking around and fucking around
By the time I settle down
I'll be a step dad
Now
I'm seeing Jons perspective
I understand why he wants to wife quick
Nothing like having your own crib with your own kids
See from my perspective
As a black man
With his head on straight
Im a target everyday
Y'all haven't had a way to get us out this country
Since slavery
So you gave us war on drugs, prison cells, and poverty
See from our perspective

Yea, then see from my perspective
See from our perspective
Yea, then see from my perspective

See from my perspective
I saw a white girl
Walking through Anacostia
In the night time
Back in the 90's that'll be costing your
life
They didn't see from our perspective
Kicked us all right out of DC
With no conscious effort
Used to be chocolate city
Now there's a Starbucks sitting
On every street corner
Y'all fucked up traffic, I hate taking the hike to Waldorf
To visit my mama
And now the fucking suburbs are infiltrated with drama
See from our perspective
Having to worry about being 10x
Better
Or I'm losing my cheddar
To a white man, white woman
Or a race that's a level
Still higher than black
We're at the bottom
I fail to
Understand
Why y'all people want to be like us
Rock the braids, do the dances, speak the slang like us
Our perspective isn't a thing that you can ever adjust to
Y'all don't fuck with us anyway
Y'all want what we produce
Excellence
See from our perspective
See from my perspective

See from my perspective
Yea, then see from our perspective
See from my perspective

Y'all ain't go through the oppression
But y'all go through the obsession
Biologically speaking
You can't see from our perspective
One more time
Y'all ain't go through the oppression
But y'all go through the obsession
Biologically speaking
You can't see from our perspective

Black on Black
When y'all gon talk about something for real
When y'all gon do it
It's alot of shit going on out here
And nothings being done
So I'm waiting
Waiting patiently

Y'all ain't go through the oppression
But y'all go through the obsession
Biologically speaking
You can't see from our perspective

DC's different
Oh my God man, it took me years to do this show
Boy DC has changed! It's different now
It's a lot of white people walking around isn't it?
I mean, I left DC in the 80's
It was not like this in the 80's
When crack was going on
Remember when crack was going on?
White be looking at DC from Virginia with binoculars
"Well that looks dangerous, not yet!"
