BLACK MAN Lyrics by Butcher Brown & Michael Millions
I just want freedom to not think about freedom (Right)
We learned his story and not our story, why the mislead ’em? (Why?)
Money and power, guns, that’s a wild threesome
Life seem shorter for us, that’s why we not sleeping
Our women over-stressed, can’t do another stretch (Nah)
No yoga, life sweating out her silk press (Damn)
She never had a silk shirt (Never)
Soft cheeks get watered when she feel hurt (Whatever)
Just sister such-and-such filling up the church
‘Cause brother so-and-so is under all that dirt
And the weight on her shoulders, she just wanna fly
Sliding in her shoes that just ain’t her size
Twenty-three and one hour to see the sky
Jail calls from my brother, glad he still alive (Right)
I just tell him hold on, I can feel him slide (Nah)
And I write a song about it when I feel a vibe
Black man, Black man (Black man, Black man)
Do you know where you’re going? (Where you’re going)
Black man, Black man (Black man, Black man)
Do you know where you heading to? (Where you’re heading to)
Black man, Black man (Black man, Black man)
Do you know where you come from? (Where you come from)
Black man, Black man (Black man)
Do you know where you going? (Do you know?)
My skin is brown, my nose is wide (True)
Smoking on Mary lower my eyes (True)
Dreaming of photographs I done clipped out
Survivors guilt, nana never had the big house
Auntie still got plastic on the couch
Church on Sunday, no cussing was allowed (Nope)
Her husband on the porch talking loud (Drunk)
Cup full of liquor, he might drown
Bad swimmer, aroma from the corner where the crabs simmer
A couple dozen not a bad dinner (Nah)
Night fall lullabies, gunshots might adlib ya
By the morning they mourning a tee with a man’s picture
Granny spin a pitcher, fresh Kool-Aid
Starter jacket, gold chains and some new Js
Cadillac passing, the spare had a suitcase
Shorty on the passenger had a due date for a
Black man, Black man (Black man, Black man)
Do you know where you’re going? (Where you’re going)
Black man, Black man (Black man, Black man)
Do you know where you heading to? (Where you’re heading to)
Black man, Black man (Black man, Black man)
Do you know where you come from? (Where you come from)
Black man, Black man (Black man)
Do you know where you going? (Do you know?)
