Dizzy Wright - Black People lyrics

[Verse 1:] Dam, what has the world come to I swear that we used to be slaves And Martin Luther King had a dream And I bet that he turnin' over in his grave Look at how we behave, my black people We don't even act equal, we act evil Why, because it's easy and we see diamonds and then our favorite rappers go off and preach violence, for weak minded Because we follow that sh** We went from leaders, to be followin' sh** So we bottle it in like we don't see it When we know we believe it So I'm hear to make you change for a reason, my black people [Hook:] Uhh, I'm just a kid from Las Vegas And I ain't trynna come up like I'm racist And lately I've been feelin like we act evil So I had to do this for my black people Time to make a change [x3] Sayin' it loud I'm black and I'm proud And I'm about to make a change starting now [Verse 2:] I look at the generation under us And I wonder how they gone do it Our great grandparents fought for our rights Now we got them and we sit up and abuse em It's time to make a change, but I ain't God Ya'll ain't gonna listen Ya'll just gonna sit up and nod And tell me that I'm hot and say I need a deal If it come, then it come, but I'm talking about what's real It takes one day It takes one smile Put your fist up, put the gun down n***a be a man Don't do what you can for nothing Cause if your gonna stand better stand for somethin' Black people wanna know why they winning Wanna know why we looked at so different Cause we allow these little black children to raised by a f**ing television Are you kidding me dog You teaching kids how to be fresh, but you forget to teach them how to have some respect So they walk around without it Never what's up We need to teach these kids to be better than us But we don't, so why bother If we won't, than why offer Life's crazy but it gets a little harder We like being flashy BBut we love being fathers my black people [Hook] Uhh, I'm just a kid from Las Vegas And I ain't trynna come up like I'm racist And lately I've been feelin like we act evil So I had to do this for my black people Time to make a change [x3] Sayin' it loud I'm black and I'm proud And I'm about to make a change starting now And we go'n do it like this [x3] Put your fist in the air if you feel this This is a public announcement [3x] Put your fist in the air if you feel this Uhh, I'm just a kid from Las Vegas And I ain't trynna come up like I'm racist And lately I've been feelin like we act evil So I had to do this for my black people And I'm about to start making a change starting now [Verse 2] I do this for the kids I do this for the community, musically I'm trying to bring back that unity [Outro:] You are not Ty Yeah, for my black people and I'm a make a change startin' now
