Exiled from his own kingdom By his own people And then they sold him To them white people They killed his daddy And they raped his mama Then they gave him a book About a man who had a date with karma Via trade from the African Moors And slave merchants They're teaching our kids That we came to this country As indentured servants Trying to forget the hangings Bombings and the murders Rewriting our whole history For the literates to misinterpret And they don't teach this shit in churches As long as you're giving your 10 percent For membership in God's house of worship The black man has lost purpose How're you gon be the head of your household When the woman is the only one that's working As a king, you feel worthless When you're used to giving orders Now you looking for employment Or deployment to the military Dying for another country Just to feed your family Go find the word nigga in the dictionary The definition is the ignorance That we all inherited From a parent Who apparently didn't know no better Now sit and think about what happened And put it all together, from the Black king Young prince You need to control your temper And use your intelligence How you seen your mother Disrespect your father Is not relevant Yea, you're ignoring what I'm saying Like this ain't your problem But maybe you're just like your mother When it comes to the point of Dealing with authority It's not wise to go back and forth With no police officer And being feminine, lacking mental discipline Will not get them beast up off of you I suggest you proceed with caution And try to find some poise Control your anger Cuz it's dangerous being your mama's boy Trying to defend yourself on the side of the road Ain't smart lil bruh Keep it simple and limit your words Before they put your hands in cuffs You can't be scared but at the same time Trying to be acting tough Cuz they made it lawful to present false evidence In 1969, in Frazier vs Cupp That means police can lie And get away with cover-ups Plus you're outnumbered Cuz it's a whole lot of them And not enough of us So when you get jammed up And you're on that concrete sitting in disbelief Just know that your black father Made you to be a king And not a casualty of these streets
