Black Thought

I had a bad childhood black roots

all I had to play were blocks made from plywood

I would be thinking about some shit

If i run away maybe my parents can go buy food

ahhh the memories

remember telling momma why she married dad

without no chemistry

she said destiny

remember how she got mad but never left him

laying on the passage away

yeah my daddy was an alcoholic

and he did some shit i can't record i hope its obvious

i hope you don't listen to this tape

and say damn what the fuck did i raise

maybe you wont be proud at my work

but just know that you inspired me to write these words

i remember you always told me chase your dream but don't chase green

or you'll end up dead or die alone

 

black thoughts keep pouring keep poring

I'm back wards deformed its deformed

i gotta hold it back i promise that

ill never lack

cause a man don't gotta cry or get his heart torn

black thoughts keep pouring keep poring

I'm back wards deformed its deformed

I gotta hold it back i promise that

ill never lack

cause a man don't gotta cry for black thought

 

And i don't know why we never thrived at making it

I guess we never had the right Chess pieces

i guess we never tried hard enough as Mexicans

or maybe we just never let the lord's hand reach us

or maybe we got stuck life's kinda rough you know

it ain't my fault I'm not alike the other kids around

it ain't my fault that I'm free and you're not so I'm

glad as a kid i was taught

and i wont stop

please do not tempt me

please do not say i am bad because I'm not

I'm just conscious yo brethren get it right

this ain't controversy its just truth but you can't see it

cause you're blind

so they way you perceive it is as sound not an art

but i am just leaving a legacy behind before i part

this ain't a suicide note

its just my pain dripping on a couple words i wrote

 

black thoughts keep pouring keep poring

I'm back wards deformed its deformed

i gotta hold it back i promise that

ill never lack

cause a man don't gotta cry or get his heart torn

black thoughts keep pouring keep poring

I'm back wards deformed its deformed

I gotta hold it back i promise that

ill never lack

cause a man don't gotta cry for black thought

 

cause man don't gotta cry for black

 

black though
