Tre Butler - Hope Lyrics

(Daddy, what's hope?)
I never wanted you with her
Always told you from the start
Look how they did our people
Probably hatred in her heart
She got the eyes of the devil
Piercin' blue and several
Marks in history that proves I'm right
She'll never understand your pain
And what you feel at night
When born a target and panickin' when you see them lights
That's why you need one of our queens to push you forward
Not her kind to hold you back
How many times I had to tell you that?
Then you still bring home this f*ckin' white girl
She ain't allowed up in my house
And if we talk 'bout Rodney
I'ma probably kick her out
Your sister'll probably beat her ass
If she use her mouth, the wrong way
All that slave shit ain't workin' here today
It's like 400 years of overcomin'
Thrown away for nothin'
For you to run back to the enemy
Claimin' you lovin', but f*ck it
You do what's right for you
But just remember what I said
When it's time for you, to
Open that bible up
It'll tell you what is right for us
We were made in God's creation
She the only one who fakin' here, no matter what
Open your mind Mama
Let me tell you what is right for me
We were made in his creation
You the only one who fakin'
But too blind to see
Black
I never wanted you with him
Always told you from the start
Never met him
But I'm guessin' he a thug inside his heart
He got the mind of the Devil
Criminal, with record
That'll show you that I'm always right
Get that abortion if that child ain't comin' out as white
A mixed child and black husband'll ruin your life
And all the chances
Of ever findin' a decent white man to call a spouse
I'll disown you if you ever bring a nigga in my house
Talkin' 'bout love
How you gon' love a nigga who just gon' cheat on you when it's rough?
While tarnishin' my bloodline
On the news
They always got a gun, so I brung mine
Just to play it safe
But I prefer it if I never meet him face to face
And make sure your son don't ever date outside his race
Bringin' all them same problems to her family
That you're bringin' to me
On the other side, I know they agree
Open that bible up
It'll tell you what is right for us
We were made in God's creation
He the only one who fakin' here, no matter what
Open your mind Daddy
Let me tell you what is right for me
We were made in his creation
You the only one who fakin', but too blind to see
White
