And I'm gonna you about how All young boy ever wanted was happiness All he wanted was positivity All he ever to do was entertain And this boy went hell You gotta understand, his was racist, which is crazy 'Cause how in the fuck is you have All these black babies with men but you racist Like bitch, that don't make no sense, but it is it is You know, he up, her callin' him a nigger The kids at callin' him a cracker Identifying as black, as white Being told what you can or be This kid through everything He through...
