White Man'z World

"You go bustin' your fist against a stone wall, you're not usin' your brain

That's what the white man wants you to do, look at you!

What makes you ashamed of bein' Black?"

Nothin' but love for you, my sister

Might even know how hard it is (No doubt)

Bein' a woman, a Black woman at that (No doubt)

Shit, in this white man's world

Sometimes we overlook the fact that we be ridin' hard on our sisters

We don't be knowin' the pain we be causin'

In this white man's world

In this white man's world

I ain't sayin' I'm innocent in all this

I'm just sayin', in this white man's world

This song is for y'all

For all those times that I messed up, or we messed up

Dear sister, got me twisted up in prison, I miss ya

Cryin', lookin' at my niece's and my nephew's picture

They say don't let this cruel world get ya

Kinda suspicious, swearin' one day you might leave me for somebody that's richer

Twist the cap off the bottle, I take a sip and see tomorrow

Gotta make it if I have to beg or borrow

Readin' love letters, late night, locked down and quiet

If brothers don't receive they mail, best believe we riot

Eatin' Jack-Mack, starin' at the walls of silence

Inside this cage where they captured all my rage and violence

In time I learned a few lessons, never fall for riches

Apologies to my true sisters, far from bitches

Help me raise my Black nation, reparations are due

It's true, caught up in this world I took advantage of you

So tell the babies how I love them, precious boys and girls

Born Black in this white man's world, and all I heard was

Who knows what tomorrow brings

In a world where everyone's blind?

And where to go, no matter how far, I'll find

To let you know that you're not alone

Bein' born with less, I must confess, only adds on to the stress

Two gunshots to my homie's head, died in his vest

Shot him to death and left him bleedin' for his family to see

I pass his casket, gently askin', "Is there a heaven for G's?"

My homeboy's doin' life, his baby mama be stressin'

Sheddin' tears when her son finally ask that questions

"Where my daddy at? Mama, why we live so poor?

Why you cryin'? Heard you late night through my bedroom door

Now, do you love me, mama? Why they keep on callin' me ****?"

Get my weight up with my hate and pay 'em back when I'm bigger

And still thuggin' in this jail cell, missin' my block

Hearin' brothers screamin' all night, wishin' they'd stop

Proud to be Black, but why we act like we don't love ourselves?

Don't look around, busta, check yourselves (You sucka!)

Know what it means to be Black, whether a man or girl

We still strugglin' in this white man's world

Who knows what tomorrow brings

Born Black in this white man's world

In a world where everyone's blind?

In this white man's world

And where to go, no matter how far, I'll find

In this white man's world

To let you know that you're not alone

So, tell me why you changed to choose a new direction

In the blink of an eye?

My time away just made perfection

Did you think I'd die?

Not gon' cry, why should I care?

Like we holdin' onto lost love that's no longer there, can you please help me?

God bless me, please keep my seeds healthy

Makin' all my enemies bleed while my G's wealthy

Hopin' they bury me with ammunitions, weed and shells

Just in case they trip in Heaven, ain't no G's in Hell

Sister, sorry for the pain that I caused your heart

I know I'll change if you help me, but don't fall apart

Rest in peace to Latasha, Lil' Yummy, and Kato

Too much for this cold world to take, ended up bein' fatal

Every woman in America, especially Black

Bear with me, can't you see that we under attack?

I never meant to cause drama to my sister and mama

Hope we make it to better times, in this white man's world

Who knows what tomorrow brings

In a world where everyone's blind?

And where to go, no matter how far, I'll find

To let you know that you're not alone

Never that, in this white man's world, they can't stop us

Who knows what tomorrow brings

We've been here all this time

They ain't took us out, they can never take us out

In a world where everyone's blind?

No matter what they say, about us bein' extinct

About us bein' endangered species

We ain't never gon' leave this

And where to go, no matter how far, I'll find

We ain't never gon' walk off this planet unless y'all choose to

Use your brain, use your brain

To let you know that you're not alone

It ain't them that's killin' us, it's us that's killin' us

It ain't them that's knockin' us off, it's us that's knockin' us off

Who knows what tomorrow brings

I'm tellin' you better watch it, or be a victim

Be a victim, in this white man's world

In a world where everyone's blind?

In this white man's world

And where to go, no matter how far, I'll find

Born Black, in this white man's world, no doubt

To let you know that you're not alone

And it's dedicated to my motherfuckin' teachers
