Boys!!! (A Word from Propaganda) - Sho Baraka

OK so, apparently for centuries, we’ve all had it backwards

And to admit it would be career suicide, these may just be my last words

Rapping prior records earns far more respect than degrees do And now, the marks of manhood is how well you fail as one Boys!!!

Maybe you got time to waste

Posted up like a teen drinking beer by the case

In which case, it ain’t an issue, I ain’t so judgmental

It really ain’t my biz, it’s just now where I is Boys!!!

Jobless, tasteless, laziness, fatherless, but why should young care when

50 promise mommas if you have a baby by him you could be a millionaire

Toss your toys in the air Boys!!!

Go on and drown your sorrows in greed

And scheme to get rich to hide your insecurities Boys!!!

I ain’t got time to explain how dumb makin' it rain is Your rent’s due homie and of course that child support, young

I’m a man, I refuse, I won’t stop

My unborn sons won’t rep a cell block

And when the options of aspiration is some combination of Criminal or athlete, actor or rapper Boys!!!

I know saying this might be alarming but

No king is saved by the strength of his army Boys!!!

Them is God’s words Boys!!!

And when you become a man, you put away childish things

If only you knew what man means Boys!!!

Silly Boys!!!
