Change of Pace

Are we going to be free?

Clean of racial profiling.

Go in to the jewelry store

Jeweler asks if you can afford that pinkie ring.

Roll out a ball of cash

“He’s a drug dealer!”

Probably true

But why make it so obvious that we do

Giving whites too easy of a chance to hate.

Not just one,

But all of us need to educate

We don’t need some wealthy white wash nigga telling us to change.

Its not the black representatives obligation to start a trend

Maybe a strong young black man must lead us again.

Not for freedom

But for the start of our self respect

Understand our brothers in the struggle

As they knew nothing else

Just trying to make mad dollars

Chill.

My Gangstas no need to be self absorbed

Take care your woman

Luv her as she loves you.

See your kids grow

Don’t do what your pops did to you.

Education my brothas, it is the key

Learn from past mistakes

It will be worth while you’ll see.

The evolution of the black man is upon us

Get your fist up my brothers, The Time Is now!
