Dizzy Wright - Black People lyrics
[Dizzy Wright - Black People lyrics]
Damn, what has the world come to
I swear that we used to be slaves
And Martin Luther King had a dream
And I bet that he turnin' over in his grave
Look at how we behave, my black people
We don't even act equal, we act evil
Why, because it's easy and we
See diamonds and then
Our favorite rappers go off
And preach violence, for weak minded
Because we follow that shit
We went from leaders, to be followin' shit
So we bottle it in like we don't see it
When we know we believe it
So im hear to make you change for a reason
My black people
Uhh, I'm just a kid from Las Vegas
And I ain't trynna come up like I'm racist
And lately, I've been feelin like we act evil
So I had to do this for my black people
Time to make a change
Sayin' it loud, I'm black and I'm proud
And im about to make a change starting now
I look at the generation under us
And I wonder how they gone do it
Our great grandparents fought for our rights
Now we got them and we sit up and abuse em
Its time to make a change, but I ain't god
Yall ain't gonna listen
Yall just gonna sit up and nod
And tell me that im hot and say I need a deal
If it come, then it come
But im talking about whats real
It takes one day it takes one smile
Put your fist up, put the gun down
Nigga be a man
Don't do what you can for nothing
Cause if your gonna stand
Better stand for somethin'
Black people wanna know why they winning
Wanna know why we looked at so different
Cause we allow these little black children
To raised by a fucking television
Are you kidding me dog
You teaching kids how to be fresh
But you forget to teach them
How to have some respect
So they walk around without it
Never whats up we need to teach these kids
To be better than us
But we don't, so why bother
If we won't, than why offer
Life's crazy but it gets a little harder
We like being flashy
But we love being fathers my black people
Uhh, Im just a kid from Las Vegas
And I ain't trynna come up like I'm racist
And lately ive been feelin like we act evil
So I had to do this for my black people
Time to make a change
Sayin' it loud im black and im proud
And im about to make a change starting now
And we go'n do it like this
Put your fist in the air if you feel this
This is a public announcement
Put your fist in the air if you feel this
This is a public announcement
Put your fist in the air if you feel this
This is a public announcement
Uhh, Im just a kid from Las Vegas
And I ain't trynna come up like I'm racist
And lately ive been feelin like we act evil
So I had to do this for my black people
Time to make a change
Sayin' it loud im black and im proud
And im 'bout to start making
A change starting now
I do this for the kids
I do this for the community
Musically I'm trying to bring back that unity
UNITY yeah, for my black people and I'mma
Make a change startin' now
I swear that we used to be slaves
And Martin Luther King had a dream
And I bet that he turnin' over in his grave
Look at how we behave, my black people
We don't even act equal, we act evil
Why, because it's easy and we
