IS IT BECAUSE IM BLACK?
by Sincere-Life Seven

Is it because im black im supposed to struggle like this

no proper opportunities so we hustle like this

took away our fathers so the youth in trouble like this

now they searching for a piece of the puzzle that might fit

street talking sayin wont nobody love you like this

but you know its fake love when they hugging you lifeless

im like a fall guy somewhere in W.I.S

cuz this 9-5 im working is muzzling my gift

humble as i've been im beginning to get vexed

whenever i think of that position i cant get

cuz i showed that i exceeded requirements they set

and they still overlooked me its probably racist

but maybe we can soon overcome it and change it

but if we stay misunderstood then thats something we cant get

see our kids can grow to be off examples that we set

fuck ya race and ya religion its more about respect



Is it because im black that imma be prone to lack

maybe its because of that that my home is never entact

my mother working for scraps my father never been back

this environment where im at how you think that im gone adapt

when everbody moving crack and all of them seeming to make it

this school shit aint payin the landlord aint playin

light people wont listen its the middle of december

aint no heat up in the crib so yo house feel like a blizzard

no food up in the kitchen you often eating your wishes

picture this as a kid for them they aint seeing a ending

hearing your mother pray while you hoping heaven will listen

you back on pivot post with a pistol prone to the sinning

i say nigga to God to give hope of a new beginning

cuz what they took away from our foundation we cant replenish

still suffering from the pillage but i cant say that im finished

cuz till the day i aint living i'll write with intent to fix it
