Black NASA - Black Milk, Sam Austins

They told me shootin' for the stars was the answer

Yeah, I took a trip to the stars, no rocket fuel, no NASA

Black astronaut, tell me, what more could you ask for?

The path wasn’t never there

It’s one my niggas had to build everywhere, look

They told me shootin' for the stars was the answer

Yeah, I took a trip to the stars, no rocket fuel, no NASA

Black astronaut, tell me, what more could you ask for?

The path wasn’t never there

It’s one my niggas had to build everywhere (Yeah, yeah)

Why you still mad at your boy?

(Boy)

Yeah, I hustle 'cause I had no choice

They rather that I had no voice, voice, but instead

My parents held perspective for the mislead

Cigarettes and baby mama’s that sip Henn

While the weight of the world gets heavier

Borders where they try and build barriers

Talkin' here, buildin' hysteria

That’s why my young niggas don’t care enough

We’d rather rock diamond wristwear and a pair of Buffs

They’d rather have us locked down in a pair of cuffs

Unfair fair enough

I wonder why you never see no peace

Why my outfit’s not low-key

Treat foreign whips like trophies

Belong in this world

But we have to make our own in this world

They told me shootin' for the stars was the answer

Yeah, I took a trip to the stars, no rocket fuel, no NASA

Black astronaut, tell me, what more could you ask for?

The path wasn’t never there

It’s one my niggas had to build everywhere, yeah, yeah, yeah

(Yeah, yeah)

Those days that’ll make you wanna shout

Thirteen, had to be the man of the house

Man or a mouse?

Money was the path we was after

Things took a pass, had to grow a little faster now

Cold-hearted was the outcome, middle finger to ones

Pointin' fingers that never been where I’m from

We was all trapped in, shit

Why you think we was all strapped then?

Head in the clouds, yeah, you deserve it

You would proably see a star if you looked a little further

Life’s like a jump off the edge

Hope my wings form 'fore this fall ends

They told me shootin' for the stars was the answer

Yeah, I took a trip to the stars, no rocket fuel, no NASA

Black astronaut, tell me, what more could you ask for?

The path wasn’t never there

It’s one my niggas had to build everywhere, look

They told me shootin' for the stars was the answer

Yeah, I took a trip to the stars, no rocket fuel, no NASA

Black astronaut, tell me, what more could you ask for?

The path wasn’t never there

It’s one my niggas had to build everywhere

Yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah
