Dear Black Man Lyrics

Sittin here meditating

I had to write a letter

Ink on the pad, blood on the ground, we gotta do better

why we can't disagree and still be brothers

But rather tear each other down

just another vendetta

I hope you take the time to sit down and read this

Filled with hurt and pain, I hope you feel this

Cain and Abel, Black on Black, the Blood is too thick

Get rid of the jealousy, kill the hate, and let yo ppl see this

Gotta uplift the people

The World is too evil

Want what I got

But where you at when brudda need you

Betta know who you are,

Don't let the world deceive you

God's a man of His word

He's there when you need Him

Place your eyes on Him, let Him fix ya vision

You don't want that cause you say it's white man religion

You got the wrong picture - oppression and division

Stripped away our heritage so that we would neva get it

Black man, Did you know that you were made fa greatness

So tell me, what you gone teach the next generation

Reach one teach one, breathe life into nation

We been killin eachotha, it's time for integration

Stop tellin these youngins the streets is how you get it

Tellem them to pick up a book and read

Not the drugs and liquor

Destroyed so many minds I cared for

If you connected to ppl that love you then who you care for

Tha streetz never wanted the best for you

Don't throw ya life away, they just trynna see the mess in you

But there's something good inside of you

The image of Yahweh, the Creator is apart of you

Black man, betta know that you got worth

Be known for more than just a name on a t-shirt

You can make it through, just gotta do the work

Black man, stop treatin our women like the scum of the earth

Tupac said it well that we came from'm

We got our name from'm

Even got our game from'm

You can make it through, gotta Remain humble

Let the opps talk, keep buildin

And Watch the critics crumble

Don't get stuck in the system, it's makin mo slaves and mo graves

Make major moves and pave the way

Can't go back to the past so let it fadeaway

There's still hope for you, so thank Him for another day

Black man, be set free from the mental chains

You can make it out cuz Yehoshua, He made a way

Keep yo head up and we gone be okay

Put yo faith in Him and keep on praying for the betta dayz

Yeah, and keep on prayin for tha betta dayz
