[Intro]
[Verse 1: Lona]
Deserted at birth
Hated on earth
Undervalued in worth
Walk into a room and people disperse
Converse in whispers
And women hold they purse
So we search, for a way to be accepted
So we view sports and music as an exit
As a way to a**ert our presence
We want to be Jordan but we'll take Scottie
Cause a young black male don't really have nobody
Always broke we don't even own no wallet
We prolly could soar, if those before opened doors
But they came through the same way, so its I got mine now get yours
And most grow up poor without good lessons on the board
They expect us to end up behind bars
So we watch others get gifts a galore
While we just pray to the Lord
That one day we get more
And we pray to the Lord that one day we living better than before
[Hook: Lona]
Black boy dreams, black boy dreams
So far from me, they're hard to believe
Black boy dreams, black boy dreams
So far from me, they're hard to believe
[Verse 2: Lona]
We k** our brothers cause we ain't got the same mother
What a shame, Malcolm, MLK
Look at how close we came
But once again we couldn't hold hands they were slain
And they still crossing finger and praying where they laying
We can be all that we dream
All we need is a support team
Someone to believe, fatherless, so we follow celebrities lead
In desperate need of a role model
So we chase gold chains and jays
And get high with our friends, its like the cycle never ends
And some don't ever make it to grown, so I'm spitting my soul For all those that's gone
And the ones follow
So don't doubt yourself you got it
Go hard even when nobody watching
So with all they said hold ya head
I just wish AmeriK-K-K-a knew
Every black kid ain't aiming for or blue or for red
[Hook: Lona]
Black boy dreams, black boy dreams
So far from me, they're hard to believe
Black boy dreams, black boy dreams
So far from me, they're hard to believe
[Outro: Lona]
Black boy dreams, black boy dreams
A little love is all a black boy needs
