The American Dream Wasn't Meant For Me,

Dear Mama, Yo Baby Boys Doing Fine Tell The Homies I'm In Heaven And They Aint Got Hoods.

Will I, Succeed, Paranoid From The Weed And Hocus Pocus, Try To Focus But I Can't See.

And I... Started Off Dumb, Raised By The Hoodrats, Listen To The Radio Wishin That I Could Rap.

My Mother Was A Woman. A Black Woman. A Single Mother. Raising Two Kids On Her Own. So She Was Dark Skinned. Had Short Hair. Got No Love From Nobody Except For A Group Called The Black Panthers. So That's Why She Was A Black Panther.

Here's A Message To The New Borns, Waiting To Breathe: If You Believe Then You Can Achieve. Just Look At Me, Against All Odds 'though Life Is Hard, We Carry On, Livin' In The Projects, Broke With No Lights On. To All The Seeds That Follow Me- Protect Your Essence, Born With Less, But You Still Precious.
