about
Here’s a picture of my High School basketball team on time out in a huddle. This was a playoff game against our cross town rivals, Pontiac Central. We were down 2 points with 46.9 seconds left in the game, but I do remember that we won. The huddle was intense, but it was nothing for the legendary Coach Sy Green to lit a fire in us and push us to victory. That’s me, number 21.
lyrics
Verse 4
Being a Black, Brown, White youth
Never the less
Schools integrated
Everybody kept to their self
Teachers barely got paid
adding stress to their health
A lot of students failed
dropped out
dead or in jail
Smoked out
turned out
Young
Pregnant as well
I knew a girl who got molested
where her relatives dwell
But nobody helped
thinking she invented the tale
Now she’s feelin' hella regret
Resented her self
My momma waitin' on them Child-Support
checks in the mail
WIC coupons
Juice, eggs
Cheddar and milk
but let me guess
they tell us we’re blessed
with nothin' we can measure on scales
We’re jealous of the Reverends wealth
We used to read about Heaven and Hell
Sittin' in Church
with blind faith
Prolly shooda read it in Braille
A prodigal son
Instead I rebelled
I met the Devil Himself
So now I'm laughin' at the threat of a belt
I seen my momma dreams
of me being a top scholar
Starting to fade
when my grades started sinkin'
Rock bottom
It's hard to look her in her face
Leakin' salt water
She tried to plead her case
when she seen the cops got us
Most likely the Army recruiting
the High School students
Our role models
in films, movies
and gyms hoopin’
Pumpin' our fist to it
We listened to real music
But they sayin' Hip Hop had a negative influence
on Black youth
Brown youth
White youth
Yellow youth
Red youth
Tell the truth
Being a Black, Brown, White youth
Never the less
Schools integrated
Everybody kept to their self
Teachers barely got paid
adding stress to their health
A lot of students failed
dropped out
dead or in jail
Smoked out
turned out
Young
Pregnant as well
I knew a girl who got molested
where her relatives dwell
But nobody helped
thinking she invented the tale
Now she’s feelin' hella regret
Resented her self
My momma waitin' on them Child-Support
checks in the mail
WIC coupons
Juice, eggs
Cheddar and milk
but let me guess
they tell us we’re blessed
with nothin' we can measure on scales
We’re jealous of the Reverends wealth
We used to read about Heaven and Hell
Sittin' in Church
with blind faith
Prolly shooda read it in Braille
A prodigal son

So now I'm laughin' at the threat of a belt

This is my favourite album of the 2020’s. A classic in the first order. Every song is truly great. Nothing sounds repetitive and it continues to be fresh and new to this day.
