Black

(Life is short gotta count your blessings (2x))
(Know this life is gonna test ya)

Hook:
Black, educated that's a fact (whoa)
Black, and he never dealt with crack (whoa)
Facts, unless we talking bout these tracks
Santa claus how he rap bet I make em play it back

Verse 1
Tonight we killing the stereotype
Feel like they fearing us like the fearing heights
This is a takeover this ain't no heist
We just gon' change up the things that they write
I take a moment whenever recording to think about people who don't have a quarter
Shorty she told me she having my daughter I told her I'll always be there to support her
Shout out to my exes my ego bout as big as Texas she blows like she so congested everybody knows
I got hella flows keep the heat going so I'm never cold
See my team strong so we never fold and I'm beyond what you're barely on
I tell em level up they started on level one i started levels ahead of em
Givin' em fire no way that I'm letting up
Couple lost souls at a crossroads heard the lil bro lost his big bro that made me think bout my lil bro and my lil sis boy that's real shit

Bridge:
Life is short gotta count your blessings
Know this life will test ya anytime that we address it
They tellin' us keep our silence so we resort to violence
All I see is problems everytime i close my eyelids
So I'm praying for my people like they prayin' on our soul
They will never treat you equal man I'm trynna let you know
I'm just hanging with my kings ain't no niggers here
I'm just hanging with my queens ain't no niggers here

Verse 2
I listen to rap and get horrified
By all of the things that we glorify
It's like we campaigning for shorter lives
I want my music immortalized
One day I'll look in my daughter's eyes she'll never have to tell the world I didn't try
Daddy always kept it g
He was always there for me
I am in another league like I'm wearing 23
Cutting off who I don't need
Cuz it's getting hard to see
Snakes in your presence I wake up blaze up the essence
It keeps me from stressin'
Lately I really been stressin'
Started off with that Star Struck first tape had em awe struck
Then I hit em with the back to back just in case they thought I lost touch
Stay fresh never washed up they know the boy got the midas
Nervous when cops get behind us cuz too many brothers get murdered in silence
