You sell your soul
|
Like you sell a piece of ass
|
Slave to the dead white leaders on paper
|
And welfare cases
|
Rapists and hoes
|
All reinforced your TV show
|
Exotic and beautiful videos
|
|
Yeah
|
A jail's a sanctuary for the walking dead
|
It fucks with your head
|
When every black leader ends up dead
|
Somebody said
|
Our greatest destiny is to become white
|
But white is not pure
|
And hate is not pride
|
And just 'cause civil rights is law
|
Doesn't mean that we all abide
|
|
So tell me are you free?
|
"You" Campaign for every dead nigga blvd
|
So ya'll motherfuckers can drive down it in your fancy cars
|
Free
|
You try to hold on to some Africa of the past
|
One must remember
|
It's other Africans that helped enslave your ass
|
Everybody's just trying to make to make that dollar
|
Remember what Jesse used to say?
|
I am somebody
|
No longer do I blame others
|
For the way that we be
|
'Cause niggas need to redefine
|
What it means to be free
|
|
I can't even tell my brothers and sisters that they're fine
|
This absence of beauty
|
In their heart and mind
|
Stopped breastfeeding the child
|
You put 'em on the cow
|
And now you wonder why they act wild
|
You see brown folks are the
|
Keepers of the earth
|
Unifiers of the soul and mind
|
Not these wannabe gaudy pimps and thugs
|
Wearing diamond watches
|
From African slave mines
|
|
Perhaps to be free
|
Is to all love those who hate me
|
And die a beautiful death
|
And make pretty brown babies
|
|
You campaign for every dead nigga blvd
|
So y'all young motherfuckers can drive down it in their fancy cars
|
You try to hold on to some Africa of the past
|
Then one must remember
|
It's other Africans that helped enslave your ass
|
Everybody's trying to make that dollar
|
Remember what Jesse used to say?
|
I am somebody
|
No longer do I blame others
|
For the way that we be
|
'Cause niggas need to redefine
|
What it means to be free
|
|
You campaign for every dead nigga blvd
|
Just trying to make that dollar
|
So y'all young motherfuckers can drive down it in your fancy cars
|
You try to hold on to some Africa of the past
|
Then one must remember
|
It's other Africans that helped enslave your ass
|
"'Cause" everybody's
|
Trying to make to make that dollar
|
Remember what Jesse used to say?
|
I am somebody
|
No longer do I blame white folks
|
For the way that we be
|
'Cause niggas need to redefine
|
What it means to be
|
Free.
