And I'm gonna you about how All this young boy wanted was happiness All he ever was positivity All he ever to do was entertain And this boy went through You gotta understand, his was racist, which is crazy 'Cause how in the fuck is you have All these black babies with black men but you Like bitch, that don't make no sense, but it is it is You know, he up, her callin' him a nigger The kids at school callin' him a Identifying as black, looking as Being told you can or can't be kid went through everything He through... He saw in the household Violence, murderers, drug dealers, he was was crazy shit that happened to this kid And he persevered while the whole said they said? Said you be shit! You ain't gon' be nothin', nothin', nothin', Nothin', nothin', nothin', nothin', nothin', nothin', And I, and he, he said fuck that, persevere And that's why the message is always peace, and positivity See, he always saw things from two He always saw from two sides He always knew the message was born equal Regardless of race, religion, color, creed, and sexual He that because he saw that (Take it back, it way back it way) Because he was stripped and down By his black and sisters that were uneducated And did not know And he was stripped and he was down By his white side did not know These people that are That cannot see the picture That fight and kill and murder each other But once again, all he ever to do Was spread a of equality For man, woman, and child of race, religion, color, creed, and sexual orientation (Take it back, take it way it way, way back to the first) Now this child growing up And seeing the shit Being a part of the shit Running around with the wrong Running around with guns and And and stealing and, and all this he didn't know, he didn't know! But he knew deep down in his heart that it wasn't And he that he needed to get away from it Now I want you to imagine, that at 17 years old This child, okay, leaves home and gets two jobs to himself Two that he works in the morning and the evenings And he would then come home To about eight or nine of sleep But four, five, six hours of that on music, persevering Grabbing the control and looking in the mirror And pretending to see and thousands and thousands of people Just chanting his Hoping it would happen But the, but the, but the world no! Mothafucka, little no-no, no-no, no-no, no-no Ya nigga, ya cracka, ya boy, ya black mothafucka No-no! (Take it back, it way back it way, way back to the first) And he fuck that He said peace, love, and He equality for all man Regardless of race, religion, color, creed, and orientation, yeah Now I want you to also People telling him he did not live this life "You just a boy You ain't never experienced shit You Gaithersburg, Maryland, nothing happens there Oh no, no, we know, we weren't We didn't live with you, we didn't live in your 8 household We didn't live with the narcotics and violence in your We just saw it from the outside, outside, outside, Outside, outside, outside, And since you white, you have money, right?"
