KOTA The Friend - For Colored Boys Lyrics






You was born in a hospital with incompetent doctors who didn't bother to press you against your mother's chest
But that's okay 'cause Jehovah say that your mother blessed
And we are here to guide you through life
And teach you what is best
Do not have your kids in a hospital, they don't give a fuck
Especially 'bout black folk
Learn how to deliver your own kids
And have 'em at home, kid
And leave that placenta attached as long as you want, kid
It's different for black boys
Harder for black girls
Start your own business venture
Thrive in a black world
Where you and your homies don't gotta worry 'bout gettin' fired and facin' discrimination
We are creators; we don't go beggin' for placement where we are not wanted
And I'mma keep it a hunnid youngin' we used to be hunted
They had us sittin' in zoos
So what you see in the news
Is really nothin' that's new
They really targetin' you
You hear me talkin' to you?
But even if your bread straight
Big house, nice car, gotta keep your head straight
People that be gossipin' constantly only dead weight
Wiser assessments of situations will carry you to your best days
Put away a portion of your profit when you get paid
And do not be afraid of change
It could be a segue
To a better something
But have patience
And always make time for family and celebration
And every good thing in life requires dedication
Like career, wife, kids, and it's spiritual
The point of our existence isn't physical
Make sure there is love in your livin' room
And make sure that you there for the ones that you give it to
And grudges'll do you no good
Life is too short to be stressin'
Love your friends for who they are
If they there when you're down
Then you should keep 'em around
And then return that favor tenfold
Everything you hidin' will be exposed
So you should probably keep it a thousand youngin' and let go
Embrace humiliation it's humblin'
And take every situation for what it is
Love is free so don't be possessive
Love is a combination of lettin' go and holdin' tight
You'll learn when to do which
And get more love than you know what to do with
And you gon' make mistakes 'cause homie you only human
But that ain't no excuse to be foolish
Treat your woman with respect
That means keepin' it real
Keepin' her in your mind
If you about to be stupid
Just think about how she feel
Be honest with yourself
Put your ego on the shelf
And I promise you it helps
You ain't gotta be what they expect
Get to scrubbin' when you make a mess
And treat your daughters same as your sons
We growin' out of double standards
Speakin' of standards
Let's move away from the European
Tell her she's beautiful
Wide nose, coarse hair, brown eyes, brown skin
Self-love for the win
Why conform to a society that hates you
And spent all they energy tryna break you?
Now they thinkin', "y'all niggas still here?"
Yeah, and y'all still scared
Black boys still strong
Slavery's still here
Black boys still marked
The prisons is still packed
With innocent black boys
The black boys still thrive
The black girls still God
Yeah

    As a black male doctor I feel this whole vibe besides the bogus first few bars. Many OB/gyn today are competent, intelligent black women. They have sacrificed so much and given their all to learn the best medicine in order to treat and raise our babies the way they deserve. Please be woke, but keep an eye open for exceptions fam.

    Yo Kota I have no words for your music. simply because your music is beyond words, it sounds better than anything I've ever heard, your a true brother cause spit barz to raise concern, instead of talking non-sense you spit truth so our other brothers and sisters can learn, I feel like the society is in need for another black role-model and it's your turn, I hope you make your way to surface, like a worm.

  79. E.... B....

    Kota dropping hella gems on dis💎💎

  80. C.... G....

    From where is Kota?

  81. A.... S....

    Wish I could like twice

  82. A.... ....

    Could he be...Dare I say...An Israelite???

  83. O.... H....

    everything about this music video is so artistic lmaoo maybe it be the shrooms doe

  84. M.... K....

    "The point of our existence isn't physical"
    I swear this song gets deeper everytime i listen to it. 😖

  85. R.... O....

    Man I love the lyrics so much, so me!

  86. C.... M....

    I appreciate this song a lot. As a young colored boy, I always knew life was going to be harder for me and others like me. And not everyone understands this. This current political climate makes me sad. They target Latinos and it truly does feel like they hunt us down. It can make you hate the world, but love is ultimately the answer. And learning what love is: is hard. My favorite quote from this: “love is free so don’t be possessive. love is a combination of holding tight and letting go. You’ll know when to do which.”

  87. D.... D....

    Great song !!!

  88. K.... P....

    Wow ❤

  89. K.... k....

    Classic with tears

  90. J.... M....

    Same thing happening in SA right now against foreigners.. Kota really touched where it matters

  91. T.... R....

    Powerful 💪

  92. D.... T....

    every line is a quote

  93. h.... ....

    *ugh* 😍

  94. B.... 1....

    Subscribed and hit the bell

  95. b.... ....

    From someone of a different skin shade, bless to this song. Peace and Prosperity.

  96. M.... G....

    Just had a golden moment...my son asked me to listen to some new song he likes but I had to stop it half way cuz the kid was just rapping bout drugs and guns but sound mad soft so then I put this on and watched it to the end without saying a word..after it was over I told him that’s what real music is supposed to do...touch your heart, not just play with your mind. ❤️🖤💚

  97. I.... ....

    Thank you

  98. B.... ....
