Little brown boy little brown boy tell me what you gonna do if dem come for you
Little brown boy little brown boy tell me what you gonna do if dem come for you
Rich heritage you're the descendants of kings
Mighty rulers feared and revered highly esteemed
Your worth greater than you could have ever dreamed
Now prepare for the antimony that royalty brings
Strength it runs through your bloodline
But opposition in life will try to take away your sound mind
Leave your soul blind don't let it kill the vision
So much rides on just one small decision
Off the sweat of their spine this nation built
Forefathers made to endure by those who denied guilt
All with their bare hands and the will to survive
Much was taken but you can keep their memory alive
By holding your head up high just like a soldier
March towards your goals remember what your folks told ya
As you get older you'll understand the struggle gets more real
Not everybody feels the way you feel
Little brown boy little brown boy tell me what you gonna do if dem come for you
Little brown boy little brown boy tell me what you gonna do if dem come for you
If only all eyes could see the scope of your view
Eel the pain know the tumultuous journey of you
One day this thought will run across your brain
The rejection and fear the point the finger blame game
Skin that's been kissed by the sun hair of a thicker grade
Ain't always praised but in God's image you were made
Can't find an opportunity create your own
Your brilliance alone will make you bring success home
Not just another statistic of all that's wrong
But you're a gift prolific now claim your throne
Real men lead but only toward the light
And fools plan evil schemes in the dark of the night
You're better than that and if your boys choose that route
Tell them they're wrong deny that life and be out
Don't ever doubt the difference you make when you know
Who you are then your faith has no choice but to grow
Little brown boy little brown boy tell me what you gonna do if dem come for you
Little brown boy little brown boy tell me what you gonna do if dem come for you
Soon you'll find out some of your peers won't make it
Offered shady means of living and they take it
Incarcerated mentally and physically
Trapped behind bars or six feet deep some never see
A way out internal screams that are never heard
Often misunderstood not recognized for doing good
Just know that packing heat don't make a man
And killing your brothers that I truly hope you never understand
Respect comes only to those who walk honorably
Don't get much better than a man of integrity
Choose your battles with wisdom their depending on a slip up trip up
The law is waiting for another pick up
Choose the road less traveled and win
Cause popularity can fade and disappear like a trend
For the countless gone who look like you there's still
A long fight remember the Trayvon's and Emmit Till's
Little brown boy little brown boy tell me what you gonna do if dem come for you
Little brown boy little brown boy tell me what you gonna do if dem come for you
