Superstar
^My official album art
I'm gon let the song speak for itself
Hook:
A man gotta stand when he called to go
But black man understand what you falling for
Your daughter need a father, she don't need a martyr
My man is you a man or a domino?
The Man got a plan but do you got your own?
His papa or imposters, who he got at home?
I raised a black man, the block raising dominoes
If the cops don't knock em it prolly be they own
Verse 1:
Donnell Thompson, they sent the whole squadron
to knock you down in Compton, you was another Alton
a Trayvon Martin, I seen the pieces falling
these demons reaching for a thesis to appease they conscience
they simplified a mama's woes to dominoes,
accidental manslaughter? blackness been white hot
Feel like we the black dots trapped in a white box
Split in half by a black line we ain't meant to cross
The bones piling up is when my people connect the dots
They say we can't align, but that's the game design
If one fall we all fall, that's the same design
We looking for our fathers but mistook em for the martyrs
You idolize the symbol, ride or die for your kinfolk
Tryna die is simple, who gon mind your kin though?
His idle mind in limbo, searching for a purpose
His daddy left him perchless, now he up for purchase
to the highest bidder, pantomime the flyest nikka
Yo lil Ikarus gon fly to die nikka rich
My lil man gon have a man to hold his hand
through the land, not the hand of the Man, I overstand...
Hook:
A man gotta stand when he called to go
But black man, understand what you falling for
your daughter need a father, she don't need a martyr
my man is you a man or a domino?
Verse 2:
You Prop Joe or a Marlo?
You put your family on? Your bloodline you carry on?
Or you Iscariot? Eat blood like carrion?
Look who they carried in, your folks don't got a pulse,
They was riding coach in Elijah's chariot
they four hundred horses morphed into the four horsemen
dub caskets, brains splattered in thug fashion
cuzzies and comrades, the custom's to bomb back
Streets buzzing, seen it coming but you pausing that
Got Verizon verifying where your daughter's at
(RING, RING) Why she not calling back?
You bout to panic but remember she in Spanish class,
You start to text her but delete it fast,
Stomach sinking, now you thinking fast, focused tryna see the path
But all you can ponder is when you seen her last
You love the streets but you knowing they come with strings attached
