Brotha To the Night

Dangerous I am from the New Jack City I am one of the Boys In the Hood That is why I am labeled a Menace 2 Society Judged before even glancin at my biography And hated by those who can't understand me. For years I was told I was too smart for my own good but too lazy to get a head of the next Prime example of Generation X. Close ya eyes and lets relive my School Daze Days of purple haze Duck tails and High top fades Or ya name etched in ya 360 waves. I time when red be came a flavor of Kool-Aid Gyrls wore them ugly ass dookie braids And brothas had Starter hats to match they BK's Hot pickles and peppermints, Now-n-Laters and pixiesticks Ring pops and candy necklace's Sugar Daddy's, Ju-Ju Bees Candy cigarettes and Hot tamales From School dances to Talent Shows Dancing to Mc Hammer or beat boxin while ya best friend flowed clean verses no bitches and hoes Just lyrically inclined poets in motion or a cat break dancin on the floor. These are the good ol days I know. What happened to Donna Dane Big Daddy Cane MC Light and Mi chelle A Jodeci, New Edition, Kid and Play at that song my fee Cube Today was a good day With all that I tell you how I'm viewed in the new millennium. I'm feared by many, hated by most, and DANGEROUS to all Because I really am the definition Of Contradiction. I am viewed as thug because of the media Puttin out bogus ass stereotypical headlines That defines majority of all young black males As a walkin, talkin, smokin, jokin, gun totin, baby making... living hell! How can I compete? When my elders wish they could just sweep me off my feet. They say I don't have no respect No home training I'm a grown man now I quit slangin And Quit bangin So old folks quit hatin. Its hard enough just being me Without you tryin to confine D Just let me B The Educated Black Man you see The most DANGEROUS thing in this new millenniums SOCIETY.Contradiction 23
