lyrics
Reminiscing
When it all made sense
When all you needed was
A dream and common sense
You live
To learn
And love
To live
Got to go back to
When I was young
(Being a Black youth)
Verse 1
Being a black youth
I was skinny like the bamboo
So sweet I had a bad tooth
Chocolate and Candy
Cereal and Kool-Aid
Cola’s and Fast Food
My black youth
MJ
Thriller
Beat it
Bad dude
jacket with the zippers and the dance moves
White glove glittered on his hand too
Being a black youth
Name Brand shoes
A.ll D.ay I. D.ream A.bout S.ome
new pair of kicks
I’m into rap too
Run DMC
Cool J was bad too
Remember Eazy had a Jerri Curl
and Pac had Juice
Listened to Black Moon
Wu Tang
Cash Rules
We went to School throwin bones in the bathroom
I got in trouble passin notes in the classroom
Girls callin me on three-way
yeah that’s cute
They on my cashews
But jealous cats who
smile in ya face
turn around and back-stab you
Ya blood drip in a bucket
you know how Crabs do
don’t let’em grab you
it’s time for me to make that move
Being a black youth
rebel with a tatoo
The cutest girls went to church
I would flirt on the back pew
the preacher in the podium
verses from Matthew
I heard'em but the peer-pressure worked like a vacuum
My black youth
House parties with the B.Y.O.B. drinkin’
thinkin’ that’s cool
Ugly girls used to hate us cuz we did act cruel
Prank calls
Practical jokes
we did act fools
Thinking back
where you’re from
where you’re at
and what you have too
Can make a difference in ya path, True!
But you might be suprised
if you Think you can
Do what you have to
It’s nothing that you can’t do
Being a Black youth
When it all made sense
When all you needed was
A dream and common sense
You live
To learn
And love
To live
Got to go back to
When I was young
(Being a Black youth)

Big but tight energy from this album that perfectly fit the closed-up vibe of the pandemic and reminded you to call your loved ones. It feels like these important folks in Amir's life each get a bit of their vibe wrapped into the song following.
