[00:03.47]We will be here forever
[00:06.13]Do you understand?
[00:08.25]Forever and ever and ever and ever
[00:11.10]Hey, this black man made it in America
[00:15.02]Basketball and rap attract kids to get the hell out the area
[00:18.81]Nowadays, *****s kill when you get ahead of them
[00:21.89]So I back-track and get 'em some act right
[00:24.60]'Cause they confused the rap life for a trap life
[00:27.22]Mentally, I ain't rap tight
[00:29.15]You **** with me, your situation turn to Roy Jones' last fight
[00:32.61]This money music, that mean you get offended
[00:35.86]These words like liquor when I'm bartending
[00:38.36]Mama taught me well, she hold a hammer for me
[00:41.08]She pray for me when I get it, it's mandatory (Mandatory)
[00:43.91]Call me Big Unc and I'll cosign ya
[00:46.60]Bankrolls, rolling blunts, I'll be your role model
[00:49.16]Drug addicts go cold chicken
[00:51.30]They veins pop out, they say,
[00:52.92]"Red, feed me what I ain't gettin'"
[00:54.65]I can get in my car and get out
[00:56.87]And the same song is on when I get back in and get out
[00:59.62]Check my archives, my stage show is like a bar fight
[01:03.30]You want it, had to write Sean Price
[01:05.39]I'm a legend, don't call me old-school
[01:08.08]I move *****s like they building in a Whole Foods
[01:10.89]And you gotta be ready for drama
[01:13.05]Especially, when bloods
[01:14.55]And crips is livin' by your mama, I'm breathless

[01:29.79]Revolution kick off like inna '80
[01:32.58]Dem fi know me head sicker than rabies
[01:35.41]Black in America, yeah, just pay me
[01:38.18]Hey, this black man made it in America
[01:42.30]Facts, my blood kill live rats
[01:45.02]I'm one like a snowflake
[01:46.28]Abstract, that's why I take her to that Mad Max
[01:49.07]And I grew up across from cemetery
[01:51.68]That's why my commentary sound like your obituary
[01:54.49]Grown man talk, we got our Denzel on
[01:57.20]I told LL I'm just getting warm (*****, haaa)
[02:00.39]*****, tristate,
[02:01.50]When *****s dying over bullets or they prostate
[02:04.04]And cops against blacks never gon' migrate
[02:06.67]I ain't gettin' shot, they try to pull me over,
[02:09.30]I turn it to a car chase
[02:10.76]These little kids in the gang violence
[02:13.80]Artists gettin' called hip-hop but they ain't rhyming
[02:16.40]Ya'll voted for 'em, now they a rockstar
[02:18.96]I feel like a black film tryna get an Oscar
[02:21.73]God, forgive me for my sins
[02:24.25]You dealt me these cards so I'm gon' play it to win
[02:26.93]And I'm tryna get forty more haters
[02:28.84]So I can sign 'em on to the "Reggie,
[02:30.89]I hate 'em but glad he made it", I'm breathless
[02:33.45]Reality speaking, dem all baby
[02:35.48]Legendary, man ah bust it from the 80s
[02:38.11]Dem fi know me head sicker than rabies
[02:40.89]Black in America, yeah, don't play me
[02:43.53]When we ah step, dem swear see ah di navy
[02:46.15]Revolution kick off like inna '80
[02:48.85]Dem fi know me head sicker than rabies
[02:51.73]Black in America, yeah, just pay me
[02:54.49]Hey, this black man made it in America
[02:58.63]Can you believe how I did it?
[03:00.32]I had faith and had God as my witness
[03:02.51]I couldn't just be an artist, I had to learn the business
[03:05.24]And haters on the side, they tried to sell me wolf tickets
[03:07.96]But I'm still relevant, me and rap, we got a life sentence
[03:11.08]Success is like a bank loan, it's hard to get
[03:13.83]I worked hard for everything, I wasn't offered it
[03:16.49]And it's up to me to show my babies how to be a boss
[03:19.19]I teach 'em how to win, but also how to take a loss
[03:21.96]And education is key but nowadays
[03:24.43]I'd advise you to learn a trade and not depend on a college degree
[03:27.44]I sold drugs but I don't have no story to tell
[03:29.99]'Cause music always was my life, Patti LaBelle
[03:32.91]As long as I love, you get honor and dedication
[03:35.60]And **** the media interrogating, I'm breathless
[03:39.05]You see it on the news, you see it on social media
[03:42.93]But when you a black man in America
[03:45.52]It's very scary and terrifying, believe me
[03:49.08]Sometimes I wonder
[03:50.47]Will there ever be equality for a black man in America
[03:54.41]I doubt it
