Grew up on Roots, proud to be black
Once leaves start to fall realized we lacked
Different strokes for different folks, it seemed
The worlds different, see it’s condemned to Kadeem
To promote higher learning some went to college
Tuition fees, books, and fed BS represented knowledge
No fair, Failing to get on the bus
Menace to society, justice, not just to us
Looking for a spark, no news was good
So two men become boys in the hood
