Can't come around They gon' wanna bring you down No one knows just what's inside Doing dope and doing time Why they messing with your mind Black maybe I heard a white man's yes Is a black maybe I was delivered in this world As a crack baby Hard for me to pay attention And I act crazy Gotta get over from the tip I watch the fat lady sing and song On how we guerillas in warfare And I'm the kingest kong They say we dreamin wrong Them same strips that them older cats lingered on Now the walgreens is gone Hope is killed fiends are born We leanin on a wall that ain't that ain't stable Its hard to turn on the hood that made you To leave We afraid to the same streets that raised you Can aid you What other black births came suit the rage up in harlem and the southside Brothers is starving with there mouth wide open Floating across state got the workout plans so they can move weight The fate of the black man woman and child maybe Can't come around They gon' wanna bring you down No one knows just what's inside Doing dope and doing time Why they messing with your mind Black maybe Can't come around They gon' wanna bring you down No one knows just what's inside Doing dope and doing time Why they messing with your mind Black maybe He had game since he used to hoop at chattum Neither the ghetto nor defenders could trap him The stones had his back and they'd pat him He was living a life they couldn't fathom Colleges getting at him with all type of scholarships Even if he went they knew he'd leave college quick For the pros the one from the hood that was chose The black rose that grew in the jungle But humble stud still had rumble in his blood Women all around giving him trouble love You know the love when you up they down Cause you wrap a ball they round Your win is their crown Dudes in the circle he known for years Shared beers and cheers but chose different careers when paper and fame came they ain't know how to react Them same studs shot him in the back Now that's black maybe Can't come around They gon' wanna bring you down No one knows just what's inside Doing dope and doing time Why they messing with your mind Black maybe Can't come around They gon' wanna bring you down No one knows just what's inside Doing dope and doing time Why they messing with your mind Black maybe When we talk about black maybe We talk about situations Of people of color and because you are that color You endure obstacles and opposition And not all the time from from other nationalities Sometimes it come from your own kind Or maybe even your own mind You get judged you getlaughed at you get looked at wrong You get sighted for not being strong The struggle of just being you The struggle of just being us black maybe
black maybe Can't come around They gon' wanna bring you down No one knows just what's inside Doing dope and doing time Why they messing with your mind Black maybe
(Intro) This is a song that makes me spill out all my guts Sometimes
Sometimes, I wish I wasn't me Sometimes, I wish I was drug free Sometimes, wish I saw the exit sign first Sometimes, wish I knew the truth without search Sometimes, I wish I could go where I never been See what I never saw, do what I never did Or walk before I could crawl
Sometimes, I wish my eyes wasn't so red Sometimes, I wish I had breakfast in bed Sometimes, I mean it's worth it Since I did all the work last night Sometimes, you ain't good to me, yes I am good to you And you don't see my attention the way that I do
Sometimes, hey slim, you should be nicer than you are Sometimes, you take that complaining shit way too far I mean, I thought it was cute in the beginning but now I think you only do it 'cause you know I hate it Sometimes, you got me wishing I didn't have home training Sometimes, then it wouldn't hurt me so bad With dreams of knocking you in your head Then it wouldn't hurt me so bad With our kitchen knife put up your ass
Sometimes, wish I knew life with no pain, yeah Wish I held the keys to this game Sometimes, I pretend 'cause I'm afraid to be, afriad to be Sometimes, I hope I live to see twenty five
Sometimes, I wish I could be like Moses Round up my people, move out the ghetto And live a better life Sometimes, I wish I didn't try so hard Sometimes, who knows truth any way They don't know nothing, who needs that approval
The sun in your hands player Move at your own pace, listen to your own mind Do your own thing, yeah yeah I'm saying it because I love ya And I wanna grow with you, yeah yeah But you wanna run in the other direction So I got to stay on my path until I win I win, I win, I win I wanna win, I wanna win, I wanna win, I wanna win
Oh sometimes, sing it with me I wish (I wish in love) And I wish, oh I wish (I wish in peace) Oh sometimes (I wish in hope) I wish hope (I wish true) I wish true (I wish clearly) Hey I wish so clearly sometimes (Wish with no fear) I wish with no fear (I have no fear) I have no fear (Have no doubt) I have no doubt (I don't doubt) I don't doubt (Have no doubt) No, I don't doubt (Have no doubt, I wish love) I wish love, hey hey
