Coloured or Black

People will talk about you my nigga the best thing to do is do not react
I got a vision and I got a mission and that is to put ATL on the map
The only time we make the front of the paper is when someone dies and that is a fact
This is a problem in all our communities especially when you are colored or black

Has it ever crossed your mind companies so big it's hard to find
Inner details how they pay their people to be honest I think its a crime
Coz how the fuck we 'spose to get by
Getting paid on that minimum wage
Working 12 hour shifts in a day
The money turn a nigga into a slave
You making better money when you selling your drugs so how can they blame you
But I am that nigga coming from the other side, sit down I'll explain to you
The impact that you have selling all those drugs in your own neighborhood
Now Lil niggas thinking you the man with your pocket change man I wish they could
Open their eyes and realize that the product you selling is out here ruining lives
You taking a mother, a father away from a child that is the shit I despise
I know you tryna put food on the table but hold up a minute and listen my g
I got a tell you what happened to me my story be told so please take a seat
Both of my brothers addicted to meth and they only come down by a push of a button
I used to work for material things but that niggas took it away like its nothing
The number 1 rule in my house never leave it unattended it will be gone in a sudden
The luxury you have by leaving your money on top of a cupboard

People will talk about you my nigga the best thing to do is do not react
I got a vision and I got a mission and that is to put ATL on the map
The only time we make the front of the paper is when someone dies and that is a fact

I got a get it regardless
Fuck it don't care what the odds is
Even though that shit stacked against me I'll probably turn it into profit
Colored nigga with a mindset of a weapon use it like an object
That's the type of shit that make em' upset
Went from suspects to the subject to I'm Up Next
What know you about the colored culture in the cape flats
All you care about is crime life and your prison stat you don't know that
The dad gone and mom probably working two jobs just to stay on
And the eldest daughter got to look after two kids coz she know that her dad gone
At the same time got to graduate never getting a fucking break
16 with a lot on her mind mom tryna keep the food on the plate
Meeting a nigga now she thinks she in love coz that nigga rocking a cape
Deep down man that niggas' a snake
An opportunist and I know you relate
Coz there's a lotta niggas out there that's waiting on the cookie jar to break
I can tell you this is not about race
I paint a picture in a city you placed
Got to tell you about the challenge you face
I see through it like you rocking a lace
And the only way to grow as an individual is to learn from mistakes

People will talk about you my nigga the best thing to do is do not react
I got a vision and I got a mission and that is to put ATL on the map
The only time we make the front of the paper is when someone dies and that is a fact
