Mr. Black Man Songtext
von Ace Hood

Ay
Hey, Mr. Black Man livin′ in America
We can never let these motherfuckers bury us
Embarrass us
Hey, Mr. Black Man livin' in America (hey)
Hey, Mr. Black Man livin′ in America (hey)

Hey, I woke up in the morning, thanked the Lord for seeing another day
Should I sell dope or figure shit out in another way?
Tryna keep my faith but see the devil from a mile away
Bills are piling, momma just complainin' 'bout them everyday
Gettin′ sick and tired, tears are running down her eyes
Only thing that′s on my mind, I just got to fuckin' grind
Like ain′t got shit to lose, I got so more shit to prove
Hit my plug and make some moves, I'm finessing with the tool


This is me and daddy shoot, that′s what they want us to do
System set so we can lose, just depends on what you choose
Grab that chopper, shoot that block up, you gon' end up on the news
Rather fill yourself with knowledge
That′s that power we refuse (whoa)
Prisons over populated 'cause we droppin' outta school
Let them tell it, we uneducated, life a devastation
All our actions are not validated, police agitated
Shoot us up then go home and kiss their babies
Shit so fuckin′ crazy

I apologize to every single person that we lost
From a stupid motherfucker who think they above the law
Got me screaming, "Fuck the cops," make me wanna squeeze the Glock
Send my love out to the block, ain′t no way will I be stopped
Ain't no way we lookin′ back
Those opinions, these are facts
You don't feel me, you just wack
Now tell me how real is that?
But in the mind of a nigga in the ghetto tryna make it
That trouble seems to find a nigga, it′s so hard to shake it

Say a prayer for my niggas still in it (in it)
I know it's hard and they just tryna make a livin′ (a livin')
Tryna feed the fam' like it′s Thanksgiving (givin′)
Everyday a nigga praying for forgiveness
The penitentiary's a billion-dollar business
And I will never let you trick me in the system
Oh, Mr. Black Man livin′ in America
Please don't never let these motherfuckers bury us
Embarrass us (whoa)


Hey, Mr. Black Man living in America
We can never let these motherfuckers bury us
We can never let these motherfuckers bury us

Okay, now pour another cup and roll an endo
Rolling ′round the city with extendos
They can't stop staring out the window
They just tired of burying they kin folk
I say the police out shootin′, it's a cold world
What if one day that's your son or your little girl?
Hey, Mr. Black man livin′ in America
We can never let these motherfuckers bury us
Embarrass us
I know the system is against this guy that′s smart enough

Hey, Mr. Black Man livin' in America
We will never let these motherfuckers bury us
Embarrass us, uh
Hey, Mr. Black Man livin′ in America
Hey, Mr. Black Man livin' in America
We can never let these motherfuckers bury us
Embarrass us
