Black Man, Black Man - Why do you kill yo Brother Man?
I don’t want us known or considered as “Less Than”
Black Man I’m asking you, please don’t kill your Brother
Don’t you know that when you kill there will never be another?

Black Man when you kill, another Brother is decease
Black Man when you kill, you sign a long term lease
Because you did not know your worth and what you mean to me
You are now spending 30 years locked up in Cell Block D

Black Man don’t you understand, we need the both of you?
But one is dead and one in jail and now we are down two
Two Black Men not around, two sons lost, this didn’t have to be
And now so much hurt and pain to both the family

Jail house visits, cemetery visits, it’s not just you that you fail
Living behind bars each day, hoping someone sends you mail

Is Freedom that bad? Life got you that mad?
That’s what you call livin’ yo best life by livin’ in a cell?
Where somebody gotta tell you when to eat, pss and shh
More like the worst version of hell

Sleeping in a cell, money on yo book
All because of the inner anger his life you chose and took
Why put us women in a position where we have to do both
Carry our child and bury our child and sit with you in court?

What future do you have, what example to show your son?
If every time to solve your anger, you’re quick to pull a gun

GOT DAMN YOU BLACK MAN, wake up and understand your worth
And not put another Black Man on the front of a t-shirt

It was sad for me to hear a young sister say
When she wakes up every morning she asks, “Who gon die today?”
Because there are 3 to 4 murders a day and it’s not even a shock
For a Black Man to be gunned down and shot dead upon her block
It’s becoming the norm to her and that’s so sad to hear
That those who started in the beginning, won’t make it through the year

We shouldn’t just be outraged when our Black Man life is taken by the white man and then expect it to be “The Norm” when the Black life is taken by the Black Man.
Black Man without you, our world would be shattered
You shouldn’t be dead or in jail, Black Man you truly matter 

Black Man, Black Man, please know what you mean
YOU hold the key to create our future Kings and Queens

Find another solution to resolve the situation
Instead of turning it into a deadly altercation

Think before you shoot and kill
Take a walk, calm down and chill

Black Man, can’t you understand
I don’t want you in jail - I don't want to see you shot
We need you around Black Man, for we are all we got
