Black panther Quote by Lupe Fiasco

“As I stroll down the same streets so many like me once before were killed on. Steady Mobbin. Thinkin bout the black panthers and the babies that were born in the late 80's that now have babies that lack pampers. No Kwanzaa's and they lack Santas. And a father who thinks that shoppin is the answer…” quote by Lupe Fiasco

“As I stroll down the same streets so many like me once before were killed on. Steady Mobbin. Thinkin bout the black panthers and the babies that were born in the late 80's that now have babies that lack pampers. No Kwanzaa's and they lack Santas. And a father who thinks that shoppin is the answer. Skipped out on parent hood classes so she dont know how to handle it. Never learned from her grandmother...lets just make it everything that he puts out.”
