Black Child (feat. Mojo Juju)

Papa always said keep your mind on your money

And mind your business 'cause a white man comin'

Huntin' for the black man, another brother down

Reach out for the trap, son, no one hears a sound

Sirens all around me, my face to the ground

Bounty on my head while I make another round

Life is but a luxury in this here lucky country

If you white and got money, ain't no one above thee

Trust me, shit I'm lucky that my mama love me

She showed me beauty in a world that's ugly

Damn

(Ooh, child, things are gonna get easier)

Ooh, my time fly

Try to make it in this world known as a black child

Ooh, my new life

No matter what you do, you'll be known as a black child

Ooh, my time fly

Try to make it in this world known as a black child

Ooh, my new life

No matter what you do, ay, ay

Mama always said, "Don't be scared, be prepared

Best to know yourself 'cause this world ain't fair"

Reason why we left there, same thing you see here

Always stand tall, never let 'em see fear

Nothin' really changed, man, just a different town

You're a still black kid when it all goes down

See nobody tellin' me it's better than it was

So my Nana's dead body and it all came up

How could I know love that I never got to touch?

How could she show love? She was forced to give up her black child

(Ooh, child, things are gonna get easier)

Ooh, my time fly

Try to make it in this world known as a black child

Ooh, my new life

No matter what you do, you'll be known as a black child

Ooh, my time fly

Try to make it in this world known as a black child

Ooh, my new life

No matter what you do, ay, ay

Ooh, child, things are gonna get easier

Ooh, child, things will get brighter

Ooh, my (Ooh, things are gonna get easier)

Ooh, my (Ooh, child, things are gonna get brighter)

No matter what you do you'll be known as a black child

Ooh, my time fly

Try to make it in this world known as a black child

Ooh, my new life

No matter what you do, ay, ay

Ooh, things are gonna get, get, get (Hey, hey)

Ooh, things are gonna get easier (Hey, hey)

Ooh, ooh

Black child, black child

Ooh, black child

No matter what you do, you'll be known as a black child
