In America

We will be here forever

Do you understand?

Forever and ever

And ever and ever

Hey, this Black man made it in America

Basketball and rap attract kids to get the hell out the area

Nowadays niggas kill when you get ahead of 'em

So I backtrack and get 'em some act right

'Cause they confused the rap life for a trap life

Mentally I ain't wrapped tight

You fuck wit me the situation turn to Roy Jones' last fight

This Muddy music

That mean you get offended

These words like liquor when I'm bartendin' (let's go nigga)

Mama taught me well, she hold a hammer for me

She pray for me when I get it, it's mandatory (mandatory)

Call me Big Unc and I cosign ya

Bankrolls, rollin' blunts I'll be ya role model

Drug addicts go cold chicken

They veins pop out, They say, Red, feed me what I ain't gettin (hey)

I can get in my car and get out and the same song is on when I get back in and get out (uh oh)

Check my archive

My stage show is like a bar fight

You want it? Have the right Sean Price (hey)

I'm a legend, don't call me old school

I'll move niggas like they buildin' in a Whole Foods (yes sir)

And you gotta be ready for drama

Especially when Bloods and Crips is livin' by ya mama

I'm breathless

Reality speaking, dem all baby

Legendary, man ah bust it from the 80s

Dem fi know me head sicker than rabies

Black in America, yeah, don't play me (hey)

When we ah step, dem swear see ah di navy (true)

Revolution kick off like inna '80 (uh oh)

Dem fi know me head sicker than rabies

Black in America, yeah, just pay me

Hey, this Black man made it in America

Facts, my blood killed lab rats

I'm one like a snowflake, abstract

That's why I take it to that Mad Max (hey)

And I grew up across from a cemetery

That's why my commentary sound like yo obituary

Grown man talk

We got our Denzel on, I told LL I'm just gettin' warm nigga (hey)

The Tri State where niggas dyin' over bullets in they prostate

And cops against Blacks never gon' migrate

I ain't gettin' shot, they try to pull me over, I turn it to a car chase (hey)

These little kids into gang violence

Artists gettin' called hip hop but they ain't rhymin'

Y'all voted for 'em, now they a rockstar

I feel like a Black film tryna get a Oscar (hey)

God forgive me for my sins

You dealt me these cards so I'm gon' play it to win

And I'm tryna get 40 more haters

So I can sign 'em on to the Reggie I hate 'em but glad he made it

I'm breathless

Reality speaking, dem all baby

Legendary, man ah bust it from the 80s

Dem fi know me head sicker than rabies

Black in America, yeah, don't play me (hey)

When we ah step, dem swear see ah di navy (true)

Revolution kick off like inna '80

Dem fi know me head sicker than rabies

Black in America, yeah, just pay me

Hey, this Black man made it in America

Can you believe how I did it?

I had faith and had God as my witness

I couldn't just be a artist, I had to learn the business

And haters on the side, they tried to sell me wolf tickets

But I'm still relevant, me and rap we got a life sentence

Success is like a bank loan, it's hard to get

I worked hard for errything, I wasn't offered it

And it's up to me to show my babies how to be a boss

I teach 'em how to win but also how to take a loss

And education is key

But nowadays I advise you to learn a trade

And not depend on a college degree (hey)

I sold drugs but I don't have no story to tell

'Cause music always was my life, Patti Labelle

As long as I live, you'll get honor and dedication

And fuck the media interrogatin'

I'm breathless

You see it on the news

You see it on social media

But when you a Black man in America, it's very scary and terrifying

Believe me

Sometimes I wonder, will there ever be equality for a Black man in America?

I doubt it
