Black Boy Fly 2

You know in so many different parts of the world
They looking at Oakland to see what Oakland gone do first
Like Chairman Fred Hampton senior said
Where ever theres people theres power
And if your going to be the voice of the people
You gone have to be able to relate to them
From struggling going to the pen to doing some organizing work
The whole nine

For this little dream of mine i shed a million tears
I remember them public houses we first started in
When you broke and black that mix dont ever come with wins
I watched the ghetto take a toll and stretch my momma thin
My biggest dream was to buy a house that i can put her in
I know it broke that women heart to see me in the pen
I failed so many times at life now here i go again
I watched my closest nigga life come to a tragic end
Was once embarrassed by the ride my momma had us in
They laughed at me cause they momma was pushing a benz
But im so thankful for the drive that women blessed us with
That same drive is the reason why i never could quit
Im teary eyed cause im finally making my dreams exist
It was a time when they couldnt see me conquering this
Now they all got they hands out like they played parts in this
I shed blood sweat and tears i gave my all for this
I even had to call it quits in past relationships
Cause they couldnt see my gifts that God blessed me with
They see me working but never see me reap benefits
I never talk about all of the pain that i be dealing with
Im so broken down my crooked smile keep concealing it
Now im broken hearted cause Reatha chose to stop healing me
My battles with addiction i hate she seen what it did to me
But im uh battle back i cant let this shit get the best of me
Bright lights shining on stages thats coming next for me
I just made a team full of people who want the best for me
I know im one of one around the world they keep selecting me
My testimony come from struggles of devils testing me

Muthafuckas gone check you on that shit
They gone check you on that shit
Thats why i love Oakland know what im saying
I love Oakland
Muthafuckas out here in Oakland they gone riot
Matter of fact im on the street right muthafuckin now
Im looking down the street i see a youngsta
He out there he got his ear pods in
He dancing aint no muthafuckin audience around this lil nigga
Ain't no audience around him
He dancing he grooving he doing his own damn thing
Turfing and the whole nine
He aint got no potnas out there he out there by his self
Doing it doing it on his own
Man im telling you i love Oakland
I love Oaklanders and how they get it
Whatever it is whether its selling dinner plates out the house
Or selling bags of weed on the muthafuckin corner
Or doing some organizing and giving away produce to people
Giving away socks Oakland we gone get it
They aint waiting for nobody
Muthafuckas aint waiting on nobody
So if you gone be the voice of Oakland
Yo ass better muthafuckin be able to relate to everybody
And speak on everybody behalf
And let muthafuckas know if they fuck with Oakland
They fucking with some real shit real talk
