Ooooh you feel that as i take you to them dirt roads deep in your southern roots |

When nobody said life was going to be easy |
| [00:11.94] |

| [00:15.29] |
And we have our ups and downs |
| [00:16.64] |

And its strange cause he can bearly write or read |

but seems to get folkz about anything curious about him |
| [02:10.11] |
I wanted to talk to him but he was to busy fo that |
| [02:12.96] |
But i was more then welcome to walk with him |
| [02:15.27] |
As we walked |
| [02:16.02] |
He talked and i just listen |
| [02:18.12] |
He said theres a big differnce between crackas and niggas |
| [02:20.67] |
See he said white folks look out fo the white folks |
| [02:23.68] |

If you dont stand for something |
| [02:42.39] |
But thats for certain but niggas dont be listen and that shit be hurting |
| [02:45.49] |
No all of us but some of us |
| [02:47.74] |
And if we dont hurry up |

Sometimes i cant deal wit my daily issues |

We need a shoulder |
| [03:25.13] |
The goverment stand us up |
| [03:26.28] |
To run us over |

And in the hood they dont seem to understand |
| [03:29.79] |
