Empathy of a Blackman Lyrics

Empathy for a black man

Where's the empathy for a black man

Basketball or rap

Know I'm shooting it back

Can't picture me more than that, man

On my momma

I'm really that man

Where's the empathy for a black man

Ain't no empathy for a black man

Broke down on my last limb

All fours in the jack stand

All pours when the forecast in

Quarter past ten

Quarterback pitch

Tell me where to begin

My pen painting

Picasso pain

Possible potholes

Stay out that lane

Crashing to make my way

Death derby

Bourbon thirsty

You heard me

Jackie Joyner Kersey

Running from all my problems

Too many to solve them

I ain't getting involved

Rarely problems get solved

I'm barely fighting them off

They nailing me to that cross

Bronze skin with that wool head full

And stubborn as all these four foot mules

I'd forfeit too

Quitting's never an option

Mad cause they can't stop him

Mad because they not him

This COVID cough that chest phlegm

Just him

Justice served

It just gets blurred

Like why won't nobody help him

Them camera apps prevailing

Common act of a felon

No can do

That'll be three strikes

And then I'm through

What can I do

All I heard was do, do, do

And come on fool

Couple screams from the pavement

Tire screeching that payment due

Paid in full

Let him simmer down

In that red rum stew

Curfew lavender scenery

Sunsets over Greektown too

In a parking structure

With direct view

Secret dialect of a two man crew

One on the lookout

I walk that roof

Spot the blind spot

No plain view

Silencer clockwise screwed

Headshot too

Dead stop move

Dead stopped dude

Dead lock

Dead doc

Dead guy

Dead nah

Dead lie

Got the point across

Didn't I

Watch over me as I head out

Sympathy though I'm blessed now

Ain't no empathy for a black man

Basketball or rap

Know I'm shooting it back

Can't picture me more than that, man

On my mama

I'm really that man

Where's the empathy for a black man

Ain't no empathy for a black man
