For Coloreds Only
Even though it's still raining
Poring
Just know when sunshine comes glory
Just wanna see this world show love to my ppl
Shine a little light lord knows we need hope yeah
And I know that it's hard in them streets yeah
And running from'em hard when you need bread
And ain't nobody giving you no options
Just keep faith we can prosper yeah
A young black king with dreams to save the world
To be some inspiration to the boys and girls
To enlighten and inspire the youth
Give my people the truth
Be sure to spread some positivity when I'm in the booth
Even when I'm in the coupe
And the kids handing me water outside
Instead of 20 dollar bills I'm educating their minds
I hope they find some hope when they reflect on these lines
I hope they see the goat within themselves every time
And trust me when I say I came a long way
Even when I left the trenches
Coulda went the wrong way
Even when I went back to'em
Thank the lord I didn't stay
I used to stress a lot
Now I meditate and pray
Been working on my spirit
I got a lot of good to spread I hope my people hear it
Our women they need love and need someone to guide the children
Our kings they need the most attention
Pray for they soul dear God I hope you listen
It ain't no secret that the black man prevails and
Everything we do is copied can't you tell man
But we don't copyright
What the hell man
They make money off us then send us to jail damn
We don't get no shine when we talk like this
Wanna see me disrespect you when I talk my shit
What if the brothers got together
And we helped each other level up
Imagine all the ops thought like this and we
Became allies
And unified
And put down all the guns
No more genocide
Watch them gangs fall
Then men rise
And see our legacy continue through our kids eyes
Even though it's still raining
Poring
Just know when sunshine comes glory
Just wanna see this world show love to my ppl
Shine a little light lord knows we need hope yeah
And I know that it's hard in them streets yeah
And running from'em hard when you need bread
And ain't nobody giving you no options
Just keep faith we can prosper yeah
All we do is talk about our jewelry but
They don't have nobody that look like us on the jury
When we try to get that money in a hurry
Catch you slippin
Then you worried but
You can take yo bread get out the game and start a business
Double your blessings
Put some kids in it
Teach'em the game
How to invest
Teach'em how to cut them corners so they fail less
Caught up in the system
Mama fell victim
Kids got affected
Wonder what's wrong with them
Daughter sell her soul due to fatherless conditions
Son lost to the streets cus of money, power suspicions
The church don't seem to save lives no mo
Don't wanna hear another rapper died no mo
And all this sec from the kids we don't hide no mo
Women showing pussy and ass ain't go no pride no mo
And if showing titties is freedom
What am I supposed to do when my son wanna see'em
Or the girls we see online the most
My daughters wanna be'em
Or they friends acquire guns from somewhere and wanna bring'em
Or shit let's keep it real
Cuz where they live they feel they need'em
When what they truly need is a leader someone to see'em
For more than just a thug or an op
Another target for cops
Another body for niggas to brag about that he got
Somebody claiming a block
Or a statistical dot
Or a spot filled with filled with candles flowers and photos
Sitting where he got shot
Or just another body in a box
Surrounded by loved ones as you lowered in a plot
Man I pray to God this all stop
I know it's fun but it's wrong whether you like it or not yeah
I said what I said
Poring
Just know when sunshine comes glory
Just wanna see this world show love to my ppl
Shine a little light lord knows we need hope yeah
And I know that it's hard in them streets yeah
And running from'em hard when you need bread
And ain't nobody giving you no options
Just keep faith we can prosper yeah
