Doomed Black Boys!

Black Boy! Hey, Black Boy! you gonna die!
Listen to me, I'll tell you why,

In America you're programmed to fail and fall
'cause ya keep heeding the wild life call,

Accidents used to get you dope and drugs still,
But the biggest threat now is "kill for a thrill."

Run, Black Boy, run like a fool!
Run from Death, Black Boy, stay in school!

Learning may help you avoid strife,
Education could be key to saving your life,

Education could be key to saving your life,
Run, Black Boy! Run, Black Boy! Run, Run, Run!
