Second Child - Bilal

Oh, yo

Yeah, yeah, yeah (Yo)

Yo, where you at, nigga?

You seen my brother?

You seen my brother, nigga?

(Hey)

Yo

Born in a closet with her clothes still on

Smothered in the sea of her pants

You know I didn’t catch a brick 'til the lights came on

But by then, I had nothing left

By then, I had nothing

I was born as a second child

All I got was hand-me-downs

All that is is what was left

Born as a second child

All I got was hand-me-downs

All that is what was left

Seems like I live my life half-dead

You know the ghetto ain’t helpin' it none

Ghetto ain’t helpin' it none

I’m a second-class citizen spawned from king (Spawned from king)

But who can spot that nation now?

Who can spot that nation now?

Who can spot that nation now?

Who can spot that nation now?

After years of livin' underground

I was born as a second child

All I got was hand-me-downs

All that is is what was left

Born as a second child

All I got was hand-me-downs

All that is what was left

Yeah, yeah

Yo, nigga, where you at?

(Four-hundred years, four-hundred years of a culture)

Fuck that, yo, get that nigga, get that nigga

Yo, there he go, get him, get him

I’m a second-class citizen spawned from king

Who can spot that nation?

Tryna find my nation

I’m tryna find my nation

Tryna find my nation (Yo, I said, tryna spot my nation)

Tryna find my nation, my nation (That nigga got me)

I was born as a second child

All I got was hand-me-downs

All that is is what was left

Born as a second child (What? What? What? What?)

All I got was hand-me-downs

All that is is what was left (Yo, this for my homie, nigga, this for my homie,

nigga)

This for my nigga

Yo, this for my nigga, yo, yo, stand there, nigga
