Blackberry Molasses Lyrics - Southern Lights - Donnis

the education they give us seem to be minimal, 

dont waste your time on them niggas they gon be criminals. 

and when they say it they mean it, 

its so cruel and demeaning. 

what the fuck are they teaching? 

as i sit here daydreaming about lacresha. 

light skin, long hair, all the right features. 

there go my nigga E beeper 

and they robbed my dream and they robbed the class 

teacher confiscated damn thats my nigga ?? 

and not because of school 

its because rent is due by 2 

and his momma got laid off so he trying to pull through 

for the fam, do my teacher understand? 

naw.. cause she aint never had it like that. 

she aint never been young, wild and black. 

with the high stack forced to cop crack from the dopeman. 

i sit around a good meal and hold hands. 

9 year old me wants to be rapstar, 

25 year old me wants to run away far 

until the unknown, 

started not give a fuck about no microphone. 

i spend my nights alone praying, 

saying, "if i could get one hit, i'd stay as far away from satan." 

till then ill be smoking and drinking, 

porno-watching, five-finger discount shopping. 

down that old that hill 

trying to make history and have a story to tell. 

my future daughter and son who have just begun to be thought about 

but becoming this rap star working out 

im trying to figure how to get up out my momma house 

im on TV watching me from my momma couch 

feeling like time is running out 

i think its time ti re-route..
