| [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 |
| [03:12.71] | The black boys still thrive |
| [03:14.35] | The black girls still God |

| [03:17.56] | I love you |
| [03:18.71] | I love you, too |
| [03:19.92] | I love you, too |
