 See he's organized
 
 And he's on the ball
 
 Never miss a day of school
 
 And he's a underdog
 
 Wanna learn more and more
 
 Cuz his mama taught him good
 
 He's about to change the face
 
 Of yo ghetto neighborhood
 
 Walking to school today
 
 Saw a brother on the streets
 
 Seem like errthang was cool
 
 Cept the brother's packing heat
 
 Oop oop
 
 Then everything changed
 
 Cuz he saw his own wings
 
 And his mother was sad
 
 They will last
 
 Time will past
 
 Cuz I
 
 
 
 What am I talkin' bout
 
 Errbody know what dis song's about
 
 Dey be trying to hide the history
 
 But they know who we are
 
 DO OO you want to see

 To my girls in therapy,

 To my folks up on the hill,
 
 With the cake and dollar bills,
 
 You need to watch da dirty cop

 When you saw the buildings fall

 Baptized when the levy broke

 Until you hear dat freedom song
 
 And if you think about turning back
