Empathy for a black man
Where's the empathy for a black man
Basketball or rap
Know I'm shooting it back
Can't picture me more than that, man
On my momma
I'm really that man
Where's the empathy for a black man
Ain't no empathy for a black man
Broke down on my last limb
All fours in the jack stand
All pours when the forecast in
Quarter past ten
Quarterback pitch
Tell me where to begin
My pen painting
Picasso pain
Possible potholes
Stay out that lane
Crashing to make my way
Death derby
Bourbon thirsty
You heard me
Jackie Joyner Kersey
Running from all my problems
Too many to solve them
I ain't getting involved
Rarely problems get solved
I'm barely fighting them off
They nailing me to that cross
Bronze skin with that wool head full
And stubborn as all these four foot mules
I'd forfeit too
Quitting's never an option
Mad cause they can't stop him
Mad because they not him
This COVID cough that chest phlegm
Just him
Justice served
It just gets blurred
Like why won't nobody help him
Them camera apps prevailing
Common act of a felon
No can do
That'll be three strikes
And then I'm through
What can I do
All I heard was do, do, do
And come on fool
Couple screams from the pavement
Tire screeching that payment due
Paid in full
Let him simmer down
In that red rum stew
Curfew lavender scenery
Sunsets over Greektown too
In a parking structure
With direct view
Secret dialect of a two man crew
One on the lookout
I walk that roof
Spot the blind spot
No plain view
Silencer clockwise screwed
Headshot too
Dead stop move
Dead stopped dude
Dead lock
Dead doc
Dead guy
Dead nah
Dead lie
Got the point across
Didn't I
Watch over me as I head out
Sympathy though I'm blessed now
Ain't no empathy for a black man
Basketball or rap
Know I'm shooting it back
Can't picture me more than that, man
On my mama
I'm really that man
Where's the empathy for a black man
Ain't no empathy for a black man
