Mike the Mentor - Rhymefest/Michael Jackson (迈克尔·杰克逊)
Ay Mike I got something on my mind that
It's really been bugging me
And I need some advice
Can you just like just sit
And just mentor me for a second
Sure
Well you know I
I'm tryna come up in the rap game
And I wanna be like you
Iconically music wise but you know with hip hop
It's kinda like if you ain't shootin' people
Or sellin' a lotta d**e it's like
You not hood you not black enough
You not and
And I don't know what to do you knahmsayin'
I don't know what to
That's the most ridiculous horrifying story I've heard
It's crazy the more often a person tell a lie
The more times you hear a lie
I mean you begin to believe it
You know what that's true G
But it's like when radio plays it all the time
And the TV plays it all the time
And they tell you
You're not black you know
If you don't do this like
How did you overcome everything people said about you
Like not being urban enough or not being black enough
I'm a black American I'm proud
To be a black American
I am proud of my race
I am proud of who I am
I have a lot of pride of who I am and dignity
Yeah that's cool
But sometimes I feel embarrassed to be black
G like I'm ashamed to say it
But how do other cultures look at us
How do other races perceive how we treat ourselves
Well let's reverse it
What about all the millions of people
Who sit out in the sun
Become darker to become other than
What they are nobody says nothing about that
Yeah I mean you right
I can't even argue with you
You got a point on that man
Well I'ma kick it like this
Uh uh are we animals some suggest
We was better as slaves with chains on our chest
Nothin' on our brains no a's on the test
Yo mike can we make it out the ghetto man yes
Uh what it do what you do if it's you
They gave us hot water we learned to make stew
We had no money we learned to make due
Yo mike was you born poor like me it's true
I bet you should come back to the hood
See everything we built out of what we could
Limited resources but from where I stood
You would still look at it and say good that's good
Look you from gary I'm from Chicago
We both should go back two days from tomorrow
I don't care how we get there plane or trolly
They need money mike c'mon man I'm sorry
This can't just be words gotta be action
We love the people and they need satisfaction
We on the road but we gotta get some traction
I'm rhymefest and his name is Michael Jackson
