Focused Lyrics by MC Elijah Black

Futuristic Negro

0

[Verse 1]
When they're kicking down doors, I'm jumping out of windows
I ain't never trust nobody like my kin folk
I ain't never love no woman like mama
I tell em' from the get-go, I ain't with the drama
Try to live right, cause I ain't with the bad karma
Past midnight, but I got the insomnia
Thinking bout this chick from high school named Veronica
Dominican with hazel eyes. Should have went to prom with her
Pardon me, these are just my thoughts at 4 in the morning
I ain't even close to yawning
Almost gave up on balling
When I realized I'd never be close to Jordan
Nah, I ain't a quitter, had to change my game
Big man learning how to go hard in the paint
Far from a saint
But I'm blessed with these bars I create
Illustrating em' for y'all to relate
[Hook]
Focused on the prize
Seem so close when I open up my eyes
Dreams got me hoping for a better day
I never say life is easy
But it's all so simple, you gotta believe me
[Verse 2]
Now as my thoughts unravel
Getting lost in my travels
I surrender. Feel my knees being forced to the gravel
Say a prayer for the roses growing out the concrete
Touche. Get your girl a bouquet
And watch her eyes water boy, no Boucher
Tell the stress you gotta go today
Kick push it to the curb if you know Lupe
Got a brother losing hair, with no toupee
Now asked Negrodamus why all black men are bald
'Cause society won't get up off the black man's balls
Let that soak in
I say "Black out."
They say "Go in!"
It's just Hip Hop, I ain't boasting
I don't hear that tic toc, fix that broken
Clock with no hands. Then you'll notice
We're running out of time, so I must stay. Must stay...
[Hook]
