Black Man Listen
Before we didn’t have to curse u and yell like this
Things were different b’fo we got on
dem slave ships
Back then u vaulted ur queen’s
opinion
Wasn’t no trouble gettin yo ass to
listen
Seems now yellin is tha best way to
get ya fuqn’ attention
Back then, a queen was her king’s
fuqn- equal
But then ya massa told u that we
were beneath u
Now it seems u only copin’ everything
that he do
N u wonder why black women have
attitudes
Ignorant to the fact that we have
ALWAYS stood by u.
N on God’s green earth but NOTHING
Above u
N now when we need u much more
Than ever
U wanna bail cuz u jus can’t
take tha pressure
So u put it down, n I pick up
tht weight
N u like, yeah its ‘bout time dat u
gettin’ a break
Forgettin’ all the other ways I’ve tried
To help u
Forgettin’ even still, tht my load is
Heavy too
Ever since tha white man has conqured
Our families
Black Man u’ve got nothin’ to say
To me
I stand by n try to warn u of the
Dangers still
Tellin’ u it’s gettin’ closer and the threat
Is real
U gettin’ all mad and u acting
Defensively
When he gonna see tht I am NOT
The enemy
He right there smiling in yo face
Distracting u wit in ya life wit style and grace
Pacifing u wit all the things u desire
(money seduction)
All the while, eyes closed, u headed straight
For hell’s fire (self-destruction)
N I’m steady tryna warn ya ass
But the devil’s got a hold on u wit a
Tight ass grasp
So tell me how wht tha fuq am I to
Do
When I’m fightin’ wickedness n yo ass too
Fame n’ Forture are ur main destractions
White women is a fatal attraction
Black women is ya #1 subtraction
Self-destruction is two-thirds of this fraction
Add a drug, fuq it let’s add some more
Now the DEA come knockin’ at yo door
Subtract the black man
Then all u have is me
Already two kids
Pregnancy makes three
And the saga continues painfully.
