When you grow up I hope that you be better than me and my generation Though you're not too far removed from the plantation My grandmother picked cotton Not as a slave, but a share cropper, South Carolina History tends to repeat, friendly reminder Paul Mooney says when a nigga sleeps, thats when he gets sold Stay woke Nas told you 'bout sleep 28 years ago Don't be one without faith Who don't believe without visuals Do be like Hot Chocolate Do believe in miracles Work hard and achieve goals But don't forget about the spiritual Life is all about balance A seesaw full of principles The president is important But don't forget about municipal What good is who's in the white house when your own city gives you dildos? Democrats and Republicans Two puppets with the same masters Wanna see who's running them? Find out who's funding them Money talks like a baby mama If you use a rubber you can save the drama If we practice group economics, American Blacks can rise to power This the shit they ain't gon' teach you on tv I ain't always gon' be here I hate to say it, and you hate to hear it But that's what my mama told me What my aunts done told me What Grandma done told me What my dad done told me Who am I to f*ck tradition up? What Cam'ron done told me All we can do for you is provide guidance while we have breath When our hourglass hits E A memory is all that's left While I'm here, if you have questions Ask away 'for I pass away Remember youngin', I'm a black man I can get old or die today Before I go, just know I love you And only wanna see the best for you If I'm gone by the time you hear this Know that I'm looking down over you God is love and I mean that If nothing catches, cling to that Every knee will bow, every tongue confess That Christ is Lord and you'll see that Death and taxes are the only certain Faith and forgiveness keep you from the serpent Resist sin, try to live righteous When you grow up, be God's soldier From the bottom of my heart Signed, sealed, delivered Buu E. Radley To the future generations Ball your right fist up,put it to the sky Your time is now
