《Hand-Me-Downs》歌词

[00:00:32] Look what we handed down

[00:00:36] Don't it make you proud

[00:00:38] Look What we

[00:00:39] Handed Down

[00:00:41] Come on say it loud

[00:00:43] Look what we handed down

[00:00:46] Don't it make you proud

[00:00:48] Look What

[00:00:49] We Handed

[00:00:50] My mommy gave me

[00:00:50] Donny Half a way

[00:00:51] Young Gifted and

[00:00:52] Black Amidst

[00:00:53] The Positivity

[00:00:54] I wound to bring it back

[00:00:55] But Rap now a days is by a bunch of ignorant cats

[00:00:58] No young gifted and black

[00:00:59] Just guns b***hes and crack

[00:01:00] I react by turning off

[00:01:02] BET and Sambo's telling me what blackness is supposed to be

[00:01:05] Used to give us world news now it's all videos replaced

[00:01:08] Tavis Smiley with reality shows

[00:01:10] If you let the

[00:01:11] TV define what black is you think ice

[00:01:13] And violence is all we think that matters

[00:01:16] I guess this is what happens

[00:01:17] When rappers look up to thugs

[00:01:19] And kids look up to rappers

[00:01:21] To some of y'all if

[00:01:22] I don't talk about the gat enough

[00:01:23] Or sell crack enough

[00:01:24] I ain't black enough

[00:01:26] But I rather be a pro at being myself

[00:01:31] Come on say it loud

[00:01:33] Look what we handed down

[00:01:36] Don't it make you proud

[00:01:38] Look What we

[00:01:39] Handed Down

[00:01:42] Come on say it loud

[00:01:44] Look what we handed down

[00:01:47] Don't it make you proud

[00:01:49] Look What

[00:01:49] We Handed

[00:01:50] I'm at the bus stop with my bike

[00:01:52] Been there for awhile

[00:01:53] Mom's taught me how to catch this route when

[00:01:55] I was a child

[00:01:55] Another kid walks up freakin up black and mild

[00:01:58] Fifteen same age

[00:02:00] I learn s**ts wild

[00:02:01] An older lady walks up greets us with a smile

[00:02:03] Asks how we both doing and sits down

[00:02:06] She knows what's it's like to grow up in the south

[00:02:08] Civil Rights when the white's was hosing us down

[00:02:11] I started thinking to myself that even though that time's were tougher

[00:02:13] They still took timeout to speak to one another

[00:02:16] But look at us me and this young brother

[00:02:18] Acting to proud to break down and speak to each other

[00:02:21] So inside

[00:02:22] I felt ashamed

[00:02:23] Not sure of how to but

[00:02:24] I wanna change

[00:02:25] And as long as

[00:02:26] I'm alive than the fact remains

[00:02:28] That it's never too late for us to break the chains

[00:02:32] Come on say it loud

[00:02:34] Look what we handed down

[00:02:37] Don't it make you proud

[00:02:39] Look What we

[00:02:40] Handed Down

[00:02:42] Come on say it loud

[00:02:44] Look what we handed down

[00:02:47] Don't it make you proud

[00:02:49] Look What

[00:02:50] We Handed

[00:02:51] Down *scratching*

[00:02:55] Things is bound to change
