Blackberry Molasses

[Verse: 1] The education they give us seem to be minimal Dont waste your time on them niggas they gon be criminals And when they say it they mean it Its so cruel and demeaning What the fuck are they teaching? As I sit here daydreaming about Lacresha Light skin, long hair, all the right features And then (beep beep) there go my nigga E beeper Interrupt my dream, Interrupted class Teacher confiscated damn thats my nigga ass And not because of school Its because rent is due by 2 And his momma got laid off so he trying to pull through For the fam, do my teacher understand? Naw.. cause she ain't never had it like that She ain't never been young, wild and black With the odds stacked forced to cop crack from the dopeman To sit around a good meal and hold hands [Hook:] Blackberry molasses One things that will never change You gotta keep pushing on over the sun It’s gonna be some hard they can pay/headache and pain [Verse 2:] 9 year old me wants to be rapstar 25 year old me wants to run away far Into the unknown Started not give a fuck about no microphone I spend my nights alone praying Saying, "if I could get one hit, i'd stay far away from satan." Till then ill be smoking and drinking Porno-watching, five-finger discount shopping Down that old that hill Trying to make history and have a story to tell My future daughter and son who have just begun to be thought about But they ain't comin' til this rap working out Im trying to figure how to get up out my momma house Im on TV watching me from my momma couch Feeling like time is running out I think its time to re-route..
