but rap nowadays is by a bunch of ignorant cats
And as long as i m alive, used to give us world news, don t it make you proud
And sambos telling me what blackness is supposed to be, acting to proud to break down and speak to each other
She knows what s it s like to grow up in the south, don t it make you proud Soul, acting to proud to break down and speak to each other
Look what we handin down, me and this young brother Soul, been there for a while
Moms taught me how to catch this route when i was a child, used to give us world news
i started thinking to myself that even though the times were tougher
I m at the bus stop with my bike, come on say it loud
Acting to proud to break down and speak to each other, acting to proud to break down and speak to each other Position, look what we handin down
and as long as i m alive
Then the fact remains, don t it make you proud, and as long as i m alive
They still took time out to speak to one another, come on say it loud Hand-Me-Downs, but look at us
freakin a black mild
or sell crack enough
I miss the positivity, then the fact remains, look what we handin down
Look what we handin down, she knows what s it s like to grow up in the south
Moms taught me how to catch this route when i was a child, to some of y all if i don t talk about the gat enough Soul, freakin a black mild
me and this young brother
Look what we handin down, come on say it loud
Gifted and black, don t it make you proud
look what we handin down
Come on say it loud, freakin a black mild, gifted and black
Gifted and black, i wanna bring it back Hand-Me-Downs, but rap nowadays is by a bunch of ignorant cats
they still took time out to speak to one another
bitches and crack
they still took time out to speak to one another
been there for a while
Gifted and black, don t it make you proud
But i rather be a pro at being myself, look what we handin down
Gifted and black, my momma gave me donny hathaway
Don t it make you proud, and kids look up to rappers
Come on say it loud, moms taught me how to catch this route when i was a child
Come on say it loud, i ain t black enough
Look what we handin down, i react by turning off bet
I started thinking to myself that even though the times were tougher, replaced tavis smiley with reality shows, greets us with a smile
moms taught me how to catch this route when i was a child
They still took time out to speak to one another, so inside i felt ashamed
not sure of how to but i wanna change
then the fact remains
look what we handin down
I m at the bus stop with my bike, i react by turning off bet Soul, and as long as i m alive
Been there for a while, don t it make you proud Hand-Me-Downs, things is bound to change
Look what we handin down, don t it make you proud Soul, look what we handin down
Don t it make you proud, but look at us
come on say it loud
And kids look up to rappers, come on say it loud, not sure of how to but i wanna change
don t it make you proud
come on say it loud
If you let the tv define what black is, than be an idiot trying to be somebody else
Another kid walks up, i ain t black enough Soul, come on say it loud
I react by turning off bet, don t it make you proud
I miss the positivity, don t it make you proud
