[Intro] [Verse 1 Lona] Deserted at birth Hated on earth Undervalued in worth Walk into a room and people disperse Converse in whispers And women hold they purse So we search, for a way to be accepted So we view sports and music as an exit As a way to assert our presence We want to be Jordan but well take Scottie Cause a young black male dont really have nobody Always broke we dont even own no wallet We prolly could soar, if those before opened doors But they came through the same way, so its I got mine now get yours And most grow up poor without good lessons on the board They expect us to end up behind bars So we watch others get gifts a galore While we just pray to the Lord That one day we get more And we pray to the Lord that one day we living better than before [Hook Lona] Black boy dreams, black boy dreams So far from me, theyre hard to believe Black boy dreams, black boy dreams So far from me, theyre hard to believe [Verse 2 Lona] We kill our brothers cause we aint got the same mother What a shame, Malcolm, MLK Look at how close we came But once again we couldnt hold hands they were slain And they still crossing finger and praying where they laying We can be all that we dream All we need is a support team Someone to believe, fatherless, so we follow celebrities lead In desperate need of a role model So we chase gold chains and jays And get high with our friends, its like the cycle never ends And some dont ever make it to grown, so Im spitting my soul For all those thats gone And the ones follow So dont doubt yourself you got it Go hard even when nobody watching So with all they said hold ya head I just wish AmeriKKKa knew Every black kid aint aiming for or blue or for red [Hook Lona] Black boy dreams, black boy dreams So far from me, theyre hard to believe Black boy dreams, black boy dreams So far from me, theyre hard to believe [Outro Lona] Black boy dreams, black boy dreams A little love is all a black boy needs
