So listen up black man, I need you all to WAKE UP!
We moving solo in this rat race, tryna build our cake up
Once we unify as a people, thats how we build the race up
They killing us on camera - no one goin come save us!
We bend blocks on our opps, But we forgive our oppressor
You see they the hate the black man, They know black culture is treasure
Im just so Sick of this sh#t
Cuz we quick to pop on each other, but whenever it comes to them we lose touch of the grip
Turned off – I’m flicking the switch
Every week on IG another nxgga gets lynched!
On GOD that sh#t makes me cringe!
Damn, they hate Kaepernick then take a knee on George Floyd!
We Lost Foundation to build men out of our Lost Boys
We need some leadership!
Black Panther self policing sh#t!
Cuz every time a cop uses deadly force, he never needed it
& Every time I see the sh#t I’m like “Can you believe this sh#t!”
But when I read history I realize we just repeating it
Ain’t sh#t changed, they doing the same sh#t they’ve always done
Incarcerate the black father, kill the black son
Iso the black woman so she’s no longer protected
They won’t see us as their equals until we make them respect it
This is the realest sh#t I’ve said on a record
Cuz for the record if it’s us vs them – nxgga “We All In!”
We need to channel our energy
And unite against the common enemy
And work closer together – find synergy
Rage against the machine before it tries to erase us
They make slave movies every year, look how they still try to portray us
Lie and betray us
There’s a war going on outside
We did the MLK thing, we tried!
That sh#t ain’t working!
So are you down to ride to earn your freedom? Is it worth it?
Or should go back to the Motherland? Brother-man
Invest in Africa and start fresh but on the other hand
We built America for free so if you wanna stay – I understand
But it’s not planned for us to see equality in our lifetime
If you in you’re right mind, you want ya kinds to grow up & know America doesn’t want them to exist?
Or should we just say fxck this shxt and just dip
My only question that I’m asking you
My Brother, what you tryna do?
