Black Heroes / Outro About Nothing

[Verse 1] Negativity, bet they pickin' me every day While niggas whine, I'm out crushing my 5 Grapes A good space, frame of mind til y'all came They such a drag but naysayers Sheneneh Stevie Wonder had them vision problems It’s a wonder my 20-20’s can see tomorrow You 20 something, his block is jumping like Vietnam His mama be with the needle more than Nikko Hurtado [Chorus] Ain’t no hope for a young nigga Ain’t no goal for a young nigga Too short for a sport nigga It gets horrific, we glorifyin' them drug dealers [Verse 2] Yea, so where your keys at, Playboy? I sling hyperboles at a warped speed Usain Bolt runnin' from ready, set, bang, go! Third album of fate, nothing to bank on I paint for 'em, they lay em on it, I paint more They ain't showing the same love, try to think through it I must influence some better music, let the hate show up When 'Le show up, we make noise, that that they can't ignore This cold poet just throw up quotables to give 'em hope Go and slow up haters train of thoughts with brainstorms We all niggas with dreams whether music or ball Whether hooping, a song or simply pursuing em all Since Paint a Picture, I been on a mission Coming from the district everything but monumental I ain’t gotta mention all the little flaws Where the stairs it’s the boys, find it hard to follow politicians And they Marion Barry, yea I have Barry Sanders Never wanna be gangster, put them dirty pads up The man route, try and get my parents out Fuck a stash spot, I was mastering the slant route Fly Route, I write, double white out Since the rhyme route whole city taking my route Taking my route Tell these niggas that it's my house Black hero Ain’t no black hero [Chorus] Ain’t no hope for a young nigga Ain’t no goal for a young nigga Too short for a sport nigga It gets horrific, we glorifyin them drug dealers [Bridge] Young nigga, ain’t no goals for a young nigga Too short for a sport nigga It gets horrific, we glorifyin' them drug dealers Ain’t no goals for a young nigga Too short for a sport nigga Say we all gifted We all gifted aha And we all, and we all, and we all And we all gifted And we all, and we all, and we all [Verse 3] And I wrote this album without a care in the world But the outcome as long as it’s an outpour of niggas who Came out they downfall like an overblown round ball before my sound off Or maybe this music will inspire a future mountain mover or two And if I ever rush more music out to you Then know that I’m overworking myself ‘cause my heart and mind into it Ain’t been a black hero since Robert Townsend So for meeting your man I hope you found something profound and enough to expand on before the sound falters Ha ha, before the sound falters Yeah, life better when your niggas good [Outro About Nothing] "Yea, so yea, how come, uh… Yea, I came in to do the album" "Right" "I thought we’re doing the album today How come?
