A very uplifting song by Don Theking that is intended for the betterment of black people.
Fun fact: This song was made by Don Theking when he was 16 years old.
[Martin Luther King, Jr]
The substance of the dream is expressed in these profound words
[Verse]
My name is Don Theking. I'm just tryna speak the truth. I'm about say the stuff that is real real true
Lot of people's going through hell. They're victims of the system. We've been going through much struggles. It feels like a damn prison
They be treating us like shit and want us to respect them. The thing they love is to see us dead
Lot of kids are shooting uzi's. That's cause it's been given to em. The system hate our people cause of the Color of our skin
Just we're black, they think that we're crooks. They be always judging the book just because of how it looks
You can beat me all you want, but I'll always keep rising. You can hate us all you want. We'll just keep getting up
Them bitches are devils. They don't give a shit about us. They may act all loving but their goal is to kill us
You gotta use your mind or you'll be left behind. They love to feed us lies. And they want to see us die
And I only got 2 words: fuck you. And thanks for letting me know I can't trust you
You lied to me, you lied to us, the people. It's such a shame you don't know how we feel
When you speak your mind, they start to get mad. They always try to take you out when they know you're spitting facts
There's too many sellouts. A lot of them are black. All they think about is money. That's why they sell their race
They could give you what you want but you have to do what they ask first. Can't you see they're making you their slave?
And after you get the money, I bet you don't feel the same. You done sold yourself just to get paid
There's too much damn blacks shooting blacks. My g, we're all the same Color. Can't you see that's what the evil system want?
Killing off ourselves. That's what the system like. They think that we're stupid. They want all blacks to die
You got to think before you grab the guns and shoot em. Always find peace, don't be domestic
And that's promoted even in the music. The shit in today's music's really making kids stupid
And there's too much fake rappers, they’re slaves to the system. They saying a lot of lies while they're in the studio rapping
They're only in it for the money. It's all for the fame. Rap means having talent but y'all think it's a game
You're only focused on the beats. The lyrics don't mean nothing to you. You want respect? Well you gotta stay true
A lot of y'all are selling out. All you rap about is bitches. That's what the system wants. To turn us into dummies
Ruining kids from small. That's how dem devils get you. Got you acting like a fool just because of what you heard
Everybody wants support but nobody wants to give it tho. And you say you got hoes? Where dey at doe?
And I hate the damn cops cause they think we're a target. Thinking that we're crooks so they let out all the bullets
Too much white supremacy. Thinking blacks arent important. You got to have brains and don't be ignorant
Some of my brothers need to rise and get an education cause the world out there is just full of racist faces
We came a long way so we can't forget that. So always be aware and be proud that you're black
