Dax Black In America Lyrics


Black In America by Dax

[Verse]
One life to live, theres no rehearsal
Black kid in america dreams of going commercial
Only probably purpose, if you ain't shooting the ball or shooting them all
Your whole life is considered worthless
Yeah it sound elementary
Until you realise, that those are the only guys
That will get in the documentaries
Hoop in the penitentiary, the only available option
The lie that they feed to you like a picture after they crop it
Change criminal, took the scene
Speaking but they don't mean it
We hurtin we need a crutch shot, Terrence I saw him bleeding
Media so misleading, they say our grass greener
But Eric was the gardener and I don't think that he's breathing
They shooting his hands up, it's clear the can't stand us
We started 2:0 down, they told us stand back up
For what? 'Cause we ain't standing for the same reasons
They say serve and protect but they actions is misleading
The promise is decieving
Definitions of change, the quality rearrange
No longer the same meaning so
I'm not gonna stand, speaking out is my plan
Defining the lifes of a black man, this real
And if it don't sell all well
I catch L's on the lose and score like Odell
That's one life to live no rehearsal
American and I'm black and don't care if I go commercial
I'm certain, this is my prupose, if shooting the ball is all
I take it and miss long and fear becoming worthless
It's Dax
