Qweezy' - Ballad Of The Black (Bonus Track) [feat. Rickie B. & DarviannaMajor]

I wasn’t given a chance na
But I did what I had to
Look at me now I’m a star
That’s with it or without you
I’m a star I’m a star
I’m a star I’m a star
I wasn’t given a chance
Wonder why we raise our fist with the black hand
I come from King’s & queens from way back when
We was slaves and they tried to keep us packed in
Our ancestors took the charge on the back end
They Try to trap us givin hoods all the MACK 10’s
Just Drug money and war they satisfaction
Don’t really see em’ help the poor but they tax and
They teach history but leave out all the facts man
Ya know
I did some things ya ain’t gon do
I been through some things ya ain’t go through
Cause my skin tone reflects the trail of some
Royal Destinations that they can’t go to
AND I
Can’t forget when my Face was slammed on a
Hood in the summer time By PoPo doe
BUT I
Figured out just Cause I’m a Man
With a Soul worth More than Gold
I wasn’t given a chance
I wasn’t given a chance na
But I did what I had to
Look at me now I’m a star
That’s with it or without you
I’m a star I’m a star
I’m a star I’m a star
I wasn’t given a chance
I’m truly blessed for the skin I’m in
Even at odds
Wit history I won’t let it place value
On my predicament
Now I may fall but to fail isn’t in my character
My DNA is too worthy
For that embarrassment
A million times they prolly counted me out
Said i won’t make it and tried to fill up my head wit all doubt
Tried to give reason why i wouldn’t amount
Unless i sold myself over
Promoted chains
You know them things that
Bind a slave
Said if i talk down to women
Endorse material thangs
I could maybe have a shot
Hmm F what you thought
Said if i don’t i wouldn’t start
Handed me nothing
And still turned into a star
Same thang they wish upon
No hard feelings
I’m too strong of man
Put that on God boy my success
Will spread to other black hands
And That’s my word
Word is bond and imma make it great
Ballad of a Black man just trynna pave the way
I wasn’t given a chance na
But I did what I had to
Look at me now I’m a star
That’s with it or without you
I’m a star I’m a star
I’m a star I’m a star
I wasn’t given a chance
