Original text with translation

I Was Born Poor

Lil B

Yeah man

This for all my niggas who done made it man you know what Im sayin

Yeah this a real celebration you feel me

All my young niggas stand up you namsayin

Worldwide man we made it out the struggle man

You nah’mean

Tell em get money bitch we on top bitch

All my young niggas that made it

All my young niggas that died

Swear to God I wanna cry but we just gotta shine

Everytime I open my eyes

I don’t see a thang

We come from Kings and Queens

Not the white mans dream

I ain’t tryna be no hater

Just sayin' whats real

We come from building pyramids to niggas poppin pills

Now tell me whats real

Imma tell you whats right

Its cool to be a Doctor — Its cool to be a Janitor

Support Black People cause we all done seen Hell

From the top of the world

To the bottom of the barrel

Shoutout to Egypt

Shoutout Ethiopia

Shoutouts to Kemet

Shoutsout to Africa

The black man was the first on this Earth

Prayin to myself you won’t catch me up in church

Is it heaven or is it hell?

Is it up or is it down?

Thats a white lie we livin'

Hell, look around!

Booker T. Washington, still got that honor

Born into bondage, still became a scholar

His family slept in dirt, still adopted a kid

Don’t matter what you wear

Don’t matter where you live

Don’t try to keep up, just stay in your lane

On my brothers grave

I will never change

Imma keep it real

Thats all that I know

You was born rich

I was born poor

You got your last name but your whole family tree

I can count on one hand

Feel like its only me

10 million blacks, half of em got killed

Wheres my distant family?

They in the Atlantic Ocean

Im the King from Egypt

Not the King from England

I won’t perm my hair

You niggas must be dreamin'

Leave your hair nappy

Thats really classy

You worried bout the crackers bitch worry about your family!

Everyone ain’t evil

And everyone ain’t good

Keep elevatin', get your mind up out the hood

Fuck savin these hoes, If they want a rich nigga

Gold diggin' bitch gon' suck a dick nigga

There’s not too many black people

Left where Im from

Keep havin' babies, fuck usin a condom!

And Imma be there, for all my kids

I need more black queens wearin afros

Real shit

One time!

One time for my life

One time for everybody on this Earth

We all in this together man

Keep your head up

Quit lettin these people fuck ya

All imma say is this

We got one love man

Keep spreadin that love

Keep your mind right man

Don’t feed into the TV and that bullshit

All this American dream shit.

you know thats all just a dream man we in

reality right now man

Live your own dreams man, have your own dreams man

Make sure we all in this bitch together man
