Pertinent:
My mommy gave me Donny Half-a-way
Young Gifted and Black
Amidst The Positivity, I wanna bring it back
But Rap now-a-days is by a bunch of ignorant cats
No young gifted and black
Just guns bitches and crack
I react by turning off BET and Sambo’s telling me what blackness is supposed to be
Used to give us world news now it’s all videos replaced Tavis Smiley with reality shows
If you let the TV define what black is you think ice and violence is all we think that matters
I guess this is what happens when rappers look up to thugs
And kids look up to rappers
To some of y’all if I don’t talk about the gat enough
Or sell crack enough
I ain’t black enough
But I rather be a pro at being myself
Than be an idiot trying to be somebody else, what

It’s easy to ignore the rubbish stuff when there’s so much goodness out there!
