Young Black America
Yeah, I was on that corner, tryna get my coins up
Coppers run up on us and we turn to Jackie Joyner
White man kill a black man, they never report us
Black man kill a white man, they gon' start a war up
Mama she was sour, sippin' on the Absolut
Young niggas brainwashed, they just wanna rap and hoop
Could've been a lawyer until they came and shackled you
Felons on your records so them jobs ain't gettin' back at you
Them kids ain't eat yet, so you can't even sleep yet
That's the only thing we ever saw, we repeat that
They was playing ball, fouled him hard, said I'd be back
Broad day, threw his life away, soon as he clapped
Gave that boy a life sentence, made his momma relapse
Damn, they don't understand
Comin' from the bottom, it's so hard to make a plan
Know them kids beefin', they let it get out of hand
OGs never told us nothin' in advance
Young niggas killing young niggas, shit is like the Klan, I said
Told my young ni***, "You the man," I said
You don't wanna end up like my man Ahmed
Praying five times a day, prostration on his head
Screamin' Insha'Allah that he don't make it to the feds
Caught up in the system, visit from his sister
Talkin' 'bout all these niggas, how they ain't even with him
Said they would ride or die, but it ain't even in 'em
Always postin' on the 'Gram, but hey ain't sendin' pictures
Never answer when you call, but answer for them bitches
Got you thinking twice, damn I should've been a witness
It’s none of my business my business, just telling my story
All guns, no glory, been going on before me
We slaves in the '40s, still slaves in the present
No toys for Christmas, ain't get us no presents
Only made us evil, made us hungry, made us desperate
Youngin' in the 9th grade, he got a Smith and Wesson
Grew up with the goons, now he need protection
He dropped outta school, then he got arrested
Lord with a blessing, I just hope he learned his lesson
They told us, if we go to jail, we would be respected
They told us, if we make a sale, we would run a check in
Threw a rock out in that field, and got intercepted
He stumbled, he fumbled, y'all niggas just rumble
They told you to hustle, them niggas don't love you
[The-Dream]
Young black American, na na
Wanna live like the fairer skin, na na
Fall to the paradigm, na na
Occupied on that Marilyn, na na
The prophecies of the wild ni***, no church
My uncles said stop bitching ni***, no skirts
It's kinda crazy there's another world
On the other side of town
Pastor rollin' up in that Rolls, pullin' up in that Holy Ghost
Preaching, while niggas dying by the Bible code
The destruction, the hate
The obstruction of my faith
My prayers, my faith
Will never be the same
[Outro: The-Dream]

Significado de la letra
En 'Young Black America', Meek Mill y The-Dream nos transportan a la cruda realidad de la vida en los barrios marginales donde los jóvenes luchan por salir adelante. La canción destaca la desigualdad racial, la brutalidad policial y la falta de oportunidades que enfrentan las comunidades negras en América. Meek Mill reflexiona sobre la lucha diaria por la supervivencia, la presión social y la influencia negativa que rodea a los jóvenes, empujándolos hacia caminos peligrosos como la delincuencia y la violencia.
Las letras profundas nos hablan de la injusticia sistémica, la falta de educación, la violencia armada y la realidad de estar atrapado en un ciclo de pobreza y desesperación. Se aborda la importancia de la educación, la falta de modelos a seguir positivos y la presión de la sociedad que empuja a los jóvenes hacia opciones destructivas en lugar de constructivas.
The-Dream aporta un contraste con su voz melódica, expresando la lucha interna de los jóvenes negros por encontrar su identidad y su lugar en una sociedad que a menudo les falla. Su letra refleja la desesperanza, el dolor y la lucha espiritual de una generación atrapada en un sistema que no les brinda las oportunidades que merecen.
En conjunto, 'Young Black America' es un himno a la resistencia, a la esperanza y a la necesidad de un cambio en la sociedad para que los jóvenes negros puedan alcanzar su pleno potencial y vivir una vida digna. La canción invita a la reflexión sobre las injusticias sociales y la importancia de apoyar a las comunidades marginadas para romper el ciclo de opresión y desigualdad.
