Elihumblepoet - Open Letter... Lyrics

Open letter to the black male population

Dear black boy filled with so much joy

Please don't end up another N word
Please don't put your trust in money or other N words
Please don't risk your mothers tears i know your father might not be here but she Worked hard
And if it's a negative reason he's not here please don't walk in his footsteps

Please stay in school and zone in on your passions because i too have nearly been Misguided and caught lacking

Gang signs seem cool being thrown out the window but once you get involved its Another world and you can't slow down

Black boy i love you like you're my own brother
Matter of fact i write this letter to my own brothers Keep your head high don't let em Smother your flame
Find the right woman don't let her in your life just because of your name

Clout can be a deadly poison
Watch the snakes because i can assure you that they are watching you Deadly venom Coursing through their veins
Waiting for whoever is finesseable

Black Boy filled with so much joy

Please don't end up another N word
I would rather see you in the paper for some real shit
Than to see your face plastered in front of a gray wall

Please don't let this world get you

Black Boy, F*ck whatever history said
You ain't nobodys property
And whether you speak with Ebonics or you speak properly

May You speak your mind KING
