I'm a black man in a white world I'm a black man in a white world I'm a black man in a white world I'm a black man in a white world I can see the saddest life a savage life Snakes and thieves every man has his price It's hell below who will or won't sell his soul What's my goal Go to jail or fail hell no In the streets there's a few ways out cause face it Time is short think fast while I resort To a life of crime and fast cash Nah I'm destined to be king stayin' on the right path I'm in love I feel sad I found peace and I'm not there All my nights and all my days I've been tryna runaway I'm left in a world oppressed How do I express My very own ghetto Gettysburg address My platform is a rap song Black man is politically attacked on the norm My life's survivin' at night I'm ridin' Smokin' hopin' dreamin' speedin' White lightenin' steamin' streets triflin' I keep writin' it gets deeper My brother's keeper are divided I decided to keep risin' yeah I'm in love I feel sad I found peace and I'm not there All my nights and all my days I've been tryna runaway New York New York the irrefutable The city if you make it out here it's beautiful And the streets can deceive you when times are hard And the pressure leaves your mind body and soul so scarred I'm in love I feel sad I found peace and I'm not there All my nights and all my days I've been tryna runaway Let me out here We need to wisen up We risin' up These times is rough I'm a black man in a white world For real I'm a black man in a white world For real I'm a black man in a white world Yeah I'm a black man in a white world Yeah I'm a black man in a white world Yeah I'm a black man in a white world Let's rise I'm a black man in a white world Yeah let's rise I'm a black man in a white world Yeah come on let's rise I'm a black man in a white world Yeah come on y'all Yeah I'm a black man in a white world
