[00:00.000]	作词 : Avery Marcel Joshua Jones
[00:01.000]	作曲 : Avery Marcel Joshua Jones
[00:24.63]	You was born in a hospital with incompetent doctors
[00:28.04]	Who didn't bother to press you against your mother's chest
[00:30.88]	But that's okay,
[00:31.87]	'Cause Jehovah say that your mother blessed
[00:33.85]	And we are here to guide you through life
[00:35.59]	And teach you what is best
[00:36.94]	Do not have your kids in a hospital,
[00:38.80]	They don't give a ****
[00:39.94]	Especially 'bout black folk
[00:41.32]	Learn how to deliver your own kids
[00:43.49]	And have 'em at home, kid
[00:45.00]	And leave that placenta attached as long as you want, kid
[00:48.20]	It's different for black boys, harder for black girls
[00:51.22]	Start your own business venture, thrive in a black world
[00:54.43]	Where you and your homies don't gotta worry 'bout
[00:56.90]	Gettin' fired and facin' discrimination
[00:58.82]	We are creators; we don't go beggin' for placement
[01:01.89]	Where we are not wanted
[01:03.11]	And I'ma keep it a hunnid, youngin',
[01:05.21]	We used to be hunted
[01:06.47]	They had us sittin' in zoos
[01:07.98]	So what you see in the news
[01:09.36]	Is really nothin' that's new
[01:10.90]	They really targetin' you
[01:12.41]	You hear me talkin' to you?
[01:13.92]	But even if your bread straight
[01:16.09]	Big house, nice car, gotta keep your head straight
[01:19.05]	People that be gossipin' constantly only dead weight
[01:22.15]	Wiser assessments of situations
[01:23.96]	Will carry you to your best days
[01:26.00]	Put away a portion of your profit when you get paid
[01:29.03]	And do not be afraid of change
[01:30.64]	It could be a segue
[01:32.10]	To a better something
[01:33.84]	But have patience
[01:35.30]	And always make time for family and celebration
[01:38.15]	And every good thing in life requires dedication
[01:41.19]	Like career, wife, kids, and it's spiritual
[01:43.82]	The point of our existence isn’t physical
[01:46.04]	Make sure there is love in your livin' room
[01:48.37]	And make sure that
[01:49.27]	You there for the ones that you give it to
[01:51.33]	And grudges'll do you no good
[01:53.73]	Life is too short to be stressin'
[01:55.69]	Love your friends for who they are
[01:57.19]	If they there when you’re down
[01:58.90]	Then you should keep 'em around
[02:00.52]	And then return that favor tenfold
[02:01.96]	Everything you hidin' will be exposed
[02:04.23]	So you should probably
[02:05.57]	Keep it a thousand youngin' and let go
[02:07.48]	Embrace humiliation it’s humblin'
[02:09.53]	And take every situation for what it is
[02:12.05]	Love is free so don't be possessive
[02:14.33]	Love is a combination of lettin' go and holdin' tight
[02:17.68]	You’ll learn when to do which
[02:19.14]	And get more love than you know what to do with
[02:21.54]	And you gon' make mistakes 'cause,
[02:23.00]	Homie, you only human
[02:24.36]	But that ain't no excuse to be foolish
[02:26.42]	Treat your woman with respect
[02:27.99]	That means keepin' it real
[02:29.38]	Keepin' her in your mind
[02:30.89]	If you about to be stupid
[02:32.46]	Just think about how she feel
[02:33.93]	Be honest with yourself
[02:35.77]	Put your ego on the shelf
[02:37.21]	And I promise you it helps
[02:38.77]	You ain't gotta be what they expect
[02:40.73]	Get to scrubbin' when you make a mess
[02:43.03]	And treat your daughters same as your sons
[02:44.83]	We growin' out of double standards
[02:46.81]	Speakin' of standards
[02:48.09]	Let's move away from the European
[02:49.61]	Tell her she's beautiful
[02:51.17]	Wide nose, coarse hair, brown eyes, brown skin
[02:54.11]	Self-love for the win
[02:55.74]	Why conform to a society that hates you
[02:59.02]	And spent all they energy tryna break you?
[03:01.33]	Now they thinkin', "Y'all ****** still here?"
[03:03.61]	Yeah, and y'all still scared
[03:05.24]	Black boys still strong
[03:06.76]	Slavery's still here
[03:08.20]	Black boys still marked
[03:09.76]	The prisons is still packed
[03:11.24]	With innocent black boys
