Black Boy - DWY

I’d be lying if I say I’m not the man

Swear to god never thought I’d see the end

On my life in a fight I never ran

Oh my god I’m the mother fucking man

They killed another black boy

His body’s on the street side

His mama on TV crying

Where were you black Jesus

She was in the kitchen whipping up

He was rapping stacking in the cut

Baby boy ran outta luck

Found a Lion cub to call his bluff

Shoulda ran

But you thought you were a man

Rattle snakes in the sand

This shit wasn’t in the plan

Now your baby gone

Took his last breath on his own

They stole your mamas joy

We lost another black boy

HOOK

I’d be lying if I say I’m not the man

Swear to god never thought I’d see the end

On my life in a fight I never ran

Oh my god I’m the mother fucking man

They killed another black boy

His body’s on the street side

His mama on TV crying

Where were you black Jesus

He coulda been a Dr King

He coulda been a young Shakur

We coulda had a Basquiat

Chalk outline sketched on the floor

Slaughtered like a lamb

Didn’t make it to a man

He was 'spossed to make it out

This shit wasn’t in the plan

But now her baby gone

Took his last breath on his own

You stole a mothers joy

We lost another black boy

HOOK

I’d be lying if I say I’m not the man

Swear to god never thought I’d see the end

On my life in a fight I never ran

Oh my god I’m the mother fucking man

They killed another black boy

His body’s on the street side

His mama on TV crying

Where were you black Jesus

They killed another black boy

His body’s on the street side

His mama on TV crying

Where were you black Jesus
