Every Black boy will have to see darkness…
Can’t lie, though I want to instead
Live life too good, and it’ll come for you
If you’re lucky, you’ll escape with your head
Please don’t lose your light for too long
Shadows are certain, but its time will fade fast
Eclipses will come Son, but I can promise you’ll shine again once it’s passed…
