Get It Together Black Man

CATEGORY

Views: 368

Get it together black man
before someone else comes and take your fief you call land
Be it through deceit, or by sheer brute force
And throwiung your legacy completely off course

No longer con you blame "The Man" for your daily trials
He done moved on, leaving in the dust for a million miles
Broke, disgusted, and can't (won't) be trusted
instead becomoong a criminal, constantly getting busted

Our enslaved ancestors bled and died for you black man
To achieve greatness, which is an actual fact man
Being spared from degradation, by leaving the plantation
to invest in your own wealth, and be a groovy nation

We were created to be leaders, setting a trend
of successful, hard-working business men, where it has no end
But instead you got knocked on your black ass, but simply getting greedy
For something that wasn't yours, now you're sniveling because your needy

Drugs and alcohol  came and stole your thunder
Don't look to a woman for help, she can't keep you from going under
But you wanna TRY to manipulate and/or play with them
Not realizing that your light's growing dim, in so deep you can't even swim

Too much baby mama'a drama has got you in a bind
So you populate the penitentuary, and getting left further behind
Yet you still got static, to act a damw fool
Killed the golden rule and won't goto school

What adds insult to injury is that there's kids involved
Your kids fool, and you're leading them down a path laced with issues unresolved

In closing, black man what are you're going to do?
Take a look around, because the end is coming, I thought you knew
The world's getting smarter, getting paid's the fact man
Stop trippin, and get your act together Black Man!!!!!
