c. wager – black boy lyrics
watching how i move and i’m watching how i act
because i’m just another black boy trapped
lately i’ve been thinking i should pack the strap
because when cops shoot ain’t no coming from that
i might shoot a whole round watch me empty out the clip
on anyone with a badge i got pain you can’t fix
pulled me over with your hand on your gun now i’m strapped too
same answer when they ask me why i’m like i had to
they ain’t gonna k!ll me just because they are in a bad mood
why you look surprised a rebellion is way past due
they’ve been k!lling brothers for some years
getting tired of the tears
see the red and blue lights now my heart filed with fear
the cops go free they could k!ll me right here
they ain’t ever cared about my life
or my kids or my wife
or my loved ones
slam my head on the ground hear them laugh when the the blood runs
say we’re equal but somehow they got above us
they’re the governments gang tell me how they get to judge us
but i get it
cuz america
america never loved us
only thing i’m running from is twelve
they got way too many bodies hanging from their belt
only like black boys dead or in jail
hide behind the badge yeah i know the story well
my brother wouldn’t tell so they threw him in a cell
just another black boy going through
h-ll
just another black boy
just another black boy
yeah
guess i’m just another
black boy black boy don’t you wanna play
don’t you know we never really cared about your name
we put on a smile because we know you’re still a slave
you’ll never be anything unless you go entertain
don’t you wanna ball
don’t you wanna rap
don’t you wanna chain
don’t you wanna strap
don’t you ever change don’t you ever talk back
we’ll send you away if you forget how you should act
we got places for that
we got people too
oh you like hanging out don’t make us find a tree two
don’t forget who showed you the ropes now boy
don’t forget the player can’t coach now boi
focus on the paper and the gold now
don’t you worry about the things you should own now
that ain’t something that you really need to know now
if you know too much you might just get sold nowadays okay
now i think we’re on the same page
if you wanna flip it you’re gonna have to get slain
in front of all your people that’s just how we play the game
if you wanna win you gotta die to make a change
only thing i’m running from is twelve
they got way too many bodies hanging from their belt
only like black boys dead or in jail
hide behind the badge yeah i know the story well
my brother wouldn’t tell so they threw him in a cell
just another black boy going through
h-ll
just another black boy
just another black boy
yeah
guess i’m just another
