Infamous D.I.D - Renaissance

Black boy, black boy, heard he got a dream
I done had a vision way before I had a stream
I stay up at night thinkin' I gotta get this cream
Y'all know what I'm sayin', but y'all don't know what I mean
Black boy, black boy, how you gonna move
Niggas dyin' everyday, you don't got time to lose
I'll create a legend, I know what I gotta prove
If it come to money or legacy
You know what I'ma choose
I don't think a lot, I just be movin' on instinct
Put the paper on my desk, I'm tryna see what my pen think
They tryna blow me off the map, but somehow I stand still
Somehow I got all my future plans in my hands still
How I'm supposed to smile when I keep steppin' on bloodstains?
I'm sorry if that's jarring or I'm soundin' too mundane
But I done seen too much, sometimes I wish that my eyes sealed
My pops the only reason that I'm not out my mind still
When I was just a boy, he always said, keep your eyes peeled
I'll love him till I die, he been my guide through this minefield
My cousin wasn't lucky and he's servin' his time still
My nigga never leave unless he clutchin' his nine mil'
How I'm supposed to smile when all my niggas servin' sentences
Take a look around, you cannot hide from all the blemishes
Don't go out at night, cause trigger fingers won't be tentative
They won't hesitate to put you deep below the sediment
Black boy, black boy, heard he got a dream
I done had a vision way before I had a stream
I stay up at night thinkin' I gotta get this cream
Y'all know what I'm sayin', but y'all don't know what I mean
Black boy, black boy, how you gonna move
Niggas dyin' everyday, you don't got time to lose
I'll create a legend, I know what I gotta prove
If it come to money or legacy
You know what I'ma choose
(I feel)
I feel like I'm trapped in my mind still
(I Don't Know)
I don't know (No)
What kind of healing time yields
Black boy, black boy, what you gon' do? You gon' sell a couple dimes, you gon' shoot it with your crew
Black man, black man, no can do
See I gotta switch the flow so my people make it through
Black boy, black boy, what you gon' do? You gon' sell a couple dimes, you gon' push a pill or two
Black man, black man, no can do
See I gotta switch the flow so my people make it through
