Dax - Black In America Lyrics






One life to live, there's 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

  50. J.... W....

    I hate rap music today. Anything that has come sing Biggie, Tupac, Bone Thugs, and old Snoop, I absolutely cannot stand. There are now three exceptions - Eminem, Ice T with his current band, Body Count, and now, Dax.
    It is the honesty in the music that draws me in. If anyone is watching this, but has not yet seen Body Count - No Lives Matter (link at the end), please go an watch it after this. It is a similar PSA format, only Ice takes it a step further, erasing color and making it about the poor versus the rich.

  92. H.... i....

    🔥🔥🔥

  93. T.... D....

    Like I said I’ve been here since the very start.. I’m not askin for clout or anything.. we can make a song and never publish it. It would just mean so much to me I look up to you..

  94. M.... T....

    Obviously I know I’m responding 2 and a half years later to when this song dropped. Dax is a very good rapper, honestly he should be bigger than what he is now. He has 1.4 mill on YouTube and I do like Dax, however this needs to be said. The hands up don’t shoot was a lie that was proven to be a lie so never mention this stupid hands up don’t shoot thing. 2nd which I won’t get much into but kapernick is a clown. He is completely misinformed, look at the statistics. In 2016, 0.04% of the total number of people killed by the police that year were unarmed black men. If you’re wondering it was 16 or 17 black people who were unarmed died by the cops. Also just cause your unarmed doesn’t mean u can’t be dangerous. I can say a whole lot more on this issue but I’ll leave it at that for now. Don’t trust what the media says, do your own research. And for anyone that wants to say “you’re a racist” stop that. I don’t want to see anyone die when they don’t deserve it truly I don’t. But the media makes it seem like it happens to people a lot more than it does. I think cops do make mistakes and they should receive appropriate punishment when proven to be appropriate. But cops have families too so they don’t want to die for no reason. If someone starts moving like they r reaching for something then cops get worried. Don’t reach for anything when your not supposed to around cops and listen to the cop. That will most like guarantee anyone’s safety white black Mexican. And also 3 quick things, more white people die by the police each year than black people. Look at all the black on black crime that happens, that kills way more black people each year than police killing black people but the media doesn’t want u to know that. And for people that think I’m stupid and think I l don’t know a lot of white on white crime happens I know that happens I’m not stupid. I think that’s a problem. Just this video was focused on black people so I’m giving mostly facts about black people and things pertaining to them. Last thing, instead of focusing so much on the very view (and I do think it’s wrong when anyone is killed for the wrong reason, I’ve already stated that before) unarmed black men that die each year y not focus on the hundred of thousands of black babies that r aborted each year.
