Affirmative Action


Affirmative action is correctional action
But then they wanted to take it away
Jim Crow was an example of affirmative action
But how long did they allow that to stay
No privileges based on race or gender that system is so unfair
But being a white man in America gives you more privilege than those that are born with my hair
That quota system is a free education they say things are being handed to us
Probably built these elite schools so excuse me, I think it should be granted to us
Being black in America comes with so many disadvantages trying to beat the system but we're lost
I walk into a store for some skittles and an Arizona some hours later I'm meeting Allah
I wish it was my brogods but my skin complexion had you tripping
Hawking me like a hawk when I walk in the store "That boy gotta be shoplifting"
Being black in college is like being a white rapper it's pretty hard to pull off
Gotta use a fake address to go to your school because mine produces ....cough cough
(Something's are better left unsaid
Especially when you have thug written across your forehead
So if I'm walking down the street and the cops think I got heat cuz I throw my drink when they yell POLICE I guess I'm as good as dead x2 )
My neighborhood is filled with violence cuz these men can't get a job
No quality grocery stores in my hood so diabetes come with these bars
Am I talking candy lyrics or prison ?
Me and bill over here got the weed but you searched me hoping for a conviction
So let's say I make it to college and I need a little extra help in  my personal statement I'll just put I'm black
consider my education my form of reparation before you begin to turn your back
