We live in a world where a man is judged by the color of his skin. We can't win, not the content of his character, they scared of you. 22 million black in America, you better stand your area.
In a place you only dream of. Where your soul is always free. Silver stages, golden curtains. Filled my head, plain as can be. As a rainbow grew round the sun.
Yeah, from the bottom for the depths, for the bottom. We come from there, but we still here, we still breath. So long as we got air in these lungs, we gonna get something.
It's winter in my consciousness. Dew has turned to frost. Some will win, some will lose. Some have won and lost. You can feel the time between us now.

Black rain...theres no chance 2 exscape it. You know how it seem like sometimes nothin but bad luck. It just won't go right that's the black rain. . [Chorus 2X].
Little somethin for my godson Elijah and a little girl named Corinne. . Some say the blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice. I say the darker the flesh then the deeper the roots.
Aye (7x). . [Chorus 2x: NexXthursday]. We pull up new whip. Skrt skrt gang. New chick new watch in my bay. I feel so fly in my bay. Left side sway. Right side sway.
Baby this a sing-a-long. When you moan girl that's my favorite song you know. Baby turn ya ringer off. But you could put ya ring back on ya know. . I don't care about ya nigga.
[Verse 1: Krayzie Bone]. If heaven really had a cell phone. I'd pick it up and hit up God and ask Him what's happening. I apologize for all of this madness.

[Verse 1: Chris Brown]. Niggas wanna bang in the squad, don't wanna put the work in. Say you want my money, scared of fame, better murder then. See the chopper, bullets too big, you can see the doctor surgery.
