Listen Up!(Old)
Nothing is Promised they told us we would get our 40 acres and a mule and never got it
Shot us, Dropped us, Tried to stop us
We never bothered..
We self destructed as a race at an alarming pace That didn't bother
Or how they seen you as a race stand on the corner and the stereotype
That all black brothers are the same..
But that's a name, stereotype, and label
You hear this lets rise above and beat this statistic
We need to unite, gain knowledge, and to fight against this
Lets start and prove them wrong today
Start by pulling your pants up and caring about your grades
We need to stop worrying about busting 9's and Gats
But on school where knowledge is power and money don't forget that
"United we stand and divided we fall"
Life is the hoop here is the ball...
Life is a game make the play
Its time to make a change today
