How did I get so attracted to this revolution dealing with a struggle I'm suburban so from childhood I had life up in a muzzle No denying But at a certain age I started dealing with the eyeing Learning what my parents had been hiding Just a world of racists Ironic we created The highest grossing music but it's sold by white faces And we get more trouble than the water that we wade in But they brought education Right Our gold is what they're taking They chop our trees down just to give us little papers Let us manage a business so we thinking that we made it This is how you created a modern discrimination Image is your base and Now we want Nikes and we're sipping on ciders Care about our image more than what's inside us So nothing really matters And no one really cares You have no idea how branding divides us Black child I know you wanna party hard That's wild Your television got you feeling black now The alcohol is flowing like the rap now You're lost and you can't get back now You're crying every time you hit the sack now You're either too skinny or too fat now You're scared of getting killed by your boyfriend He's scared of getting killed by a gat now The crime rate is shooting through the roof Shooting through the bullet proof glass Schooling isn't safe no more I don't wanna bring a kid into this world Where the little boys vape and the little girls are raped and stored In shipping containers for dudes in other countries Moved into a hood where every street is hella dusty Still it was all about the money Working just to spend the night hungry Black child You're tryna find a job That's wild You're tryna find a way out that shack now The alcohol is flowing like the tap now You're lost and you can't get back now You're crying every time you hit the sack now That Herbalife got you feeling fat now You're watching all the white people driving The taxi rank got you feeling black now Every week a new relationship starts How many guys are gonna carry your heart And even if you work for it If you really want the bag it's quicker for you to twerk for it And that purpose you gotta search for it You go to church for it But the pastor look at you like a snack Claims he loves Jesus but he's touching on the girls And the white church people look at you like you black And your brother busy drugging huh Cause the varsity been ghosting him like texts to his exes He's depressed and you can tell that there is something up I can see they running us He begging for acceptance now he's running up with the gangs And you're holding on to the faith Hoping for a brighter day all you can do is pray Feeling helpless and you're looking up to Jesus Cause it's hard in this world where nobody safe Black child You wanna be rich That's wild You're fly but depression got you back down The alcohol is flowing like the rap now You're lost and you can't come back now You're crying every time you hit the sack now You're low-key wishing you were fat now Because you got AIDS from your pastor Your situation got you feeling black now They blame you Can't live that down You just wanna die That's wild The alcohol is flowing like the tap now You're lost and you can't come back now You're crying every time you hit the sack now Them white folk got you feeling black now No matter how rich he or she gets We can't hide the world from a black child
