Closer
Born sinner the beginning We was looked at different
Black man in the US They want us in prison
They put the dope in the hoods Families felt victim
Used the drugs to enslave us Cause we getting richer Went from slaves
To owning land up in Michigan
Building cars city stars Was living large
They want us broke No hope
And living po We been kings and queens Back to Adam and Eve
God created in his image So we Gods too
Use your brain as your weapon Kids stay in school
Dr. King had a dream And it's coming true Created different
It's only one you
We made the world what it is
They couldn't live without us Invented almost everything
I can name a thousand The mailbox The potato chip
The blood bank The gas mask The traffic light And masking tape
The ironing board The clothes dryer The lawn mower
Automatic gear shift The Mop And peanut butter closer I get to God
I see he made us different
Real strong, determined and we independent
Nothing worth anything Ever comes easy
Pain is temporary But Quitting is easy
Failure is an opportunity To feed off
Dream big And be your own boss
Black man in the US They want us in prison
They put the dope in the hoods Families felt victim
Used the drugs to enslave us Cause we getting richer Went from slaves
To owning land up in Michigan
Building cars city stars Was living large
They want us broke No hope
And living po We been kings and queens Back to Adam and Eve
God created in his image So we Gods too
Use your brain as your weapon Kids stay in school
Dr. King had a dream And it's coming true Created different
It's only one you
We made the world what it is
They couldn't live without us Invented almost everything
I can name a thousand The mailbox The potato chip
The blood bank The gas mask The traffic light And masking tape
The ironing board The clothes dryer The lawn mower
Automatic gear shift The Mop And peanut butter closer I get to God
I see he made us different
Real strong, determined and we independent
Nothing worth anything Ever comes easy
Pain is temporary But Quitting is easy
Failure is an opportunity To feed off
Dream big And be your own boss
