Lyrics
Intro
I like to send a special dedication to all of my strong black men
Here?s to you
The men sticking in there with their families knowing that the times is hard
We see a lot of your brothas dying of natural causes
Like getting shot in drive-bys and that?s real
I know we?re prejudged, but what would life be like without a challenge
Well I gotta thank God for the blessing I was given
A strong black man cause I?m here still livin
Don?t ever read everything that was written
Cuz some of us are bright
Don?t spend time trippin
Some of us can think without a temper tantrum
Some of us are spiritual and not just handsome
They keep a job trying to earn their ransom
A lot of us ain?t educated living in mansion? (come on)
We love cars
Love to look good
Just because we speak our mind we ain?t understood
Brothas ain?t sweet living in the hood
A lot of things that you learn
It ain?t in the book
I re-iderate again. We the strongest ones
A lot of other races even clone us some (they copy us)
This black stains for a lifetime
We majority again at the right time
Hook
Because I?m black I don?t get the best job
Just because I?m strong, won?t resort to rob (come on)
Because I?m black means my daddy ain?t around
But I?m a strong black man
I ain?t sad he ain?t around (I ain?t sad)
Because I?m black means they think I?m violent
We ain?t always up to something when you see me silent (come on)
Because I?m black the majority rules
We?re always king and queens the minority is you
Bridge(2x)
Because I?m black, don?t hate me baby
Because I?m loud, don?t think I?m crazy
And I?m at home not because I?m lazy
But I can?t get a job
You?ll assume too much
I keep original thoughts for a king
My own individual, respect black queens
And I?m a grown man bleed like you bleed
And I can die tonight if you hurt my seed
Original kings stand about 6.5?
With a 5.8? queen sitting right by my side (you ready baby)
Our black hearts been used and abused
But lord I can?t explain what this music do (you saved me)
Hook
Because I?m black I don?t get the best job
Just because I?m strong, won?t resort to rob (come on)
Because I?m black means my daddy ain?t around
But I?m a strong black man
I ain?t sad he ain?t around (I ain?t sad)
Because I?m black means you think I?m violent
We ain?t always up to something when you see me silent (come on)
Because I?m black the majority rules
We?re always king and queens the minority is you
Bridge(2x)
Because I?m black, don?t hate me baby
Because I?m loud, don?t think I?m crazy
And I?m at home not because I?m lazy
But I can?t get a job
You?ll assume too much
Thank you lord for all the blessings you?ve given me
I appreciate all the faith you put in my strong black heart
I?ll never regret anything you?ve ever done in creating this strong black man
Take care of my granny and my cousin
I never let you down lord
Thank you
