Two young black men with the dream of living the American Dream one day.

We as two young black men have a destiny

It’s to be all that we can be

Letting the world see our brains getting put to a test

Us two putting in so much effort giving it our best

Trying to get rid of that bad name they would give us young black men

Saying that we do what we do and we’re still losers at the end

We can try to change their thoughts

But we tried for years, I give up, so the battle here is lost

Scorned by society

And because of the color of our skin we look for jobs.. but there’s no variety

As hard as life is we fight

Trying to live the American Dream house on the hill, graceful kids and a beautiful wife

But that life to us is all in our mind

The only thing we see moving forward is time

Hated by many, confronted by all nose flared up like we as a whole are abroad

Refusal to be the statistic of the uran society’s downfall

Drug dealers, murderers, or rapists we won’t fail

Some say because we’re successful we’re snitches but we won’t tell

But someone will but it won’t be us two

Because we’re strong black successful men that only do what we want to do

Our most powerful skill we may have is our knowledge

So therefore Todd & Tyquan must pledge

But toward the white men we’re underdogs

But toward the people who look up to us we’re the law.

Our Destiny is to never fall!
