|
I feel I'm trapped in a crazy place
|
Asking the Lord for amazing grace
|
I see the masses wanna change me
|
I'm waiting for someone to save me until then, until then
|
I guess I'm stuck here on n*gga island
|
Yeah, where n*ggas be wylin
|
Yeah, and color is violence
|
Yeah, moment of silence (hello)
|
I guess I'm stuck here on n*gga island
|
Yeah, where n*ggas be wylin
|
Yeah, and color is violence
|
Yeah, moment of silence
|
|
[Verse 1]
|
Yeah, I am the invisible man though I have a soul I am from an invisible land
|
They gave me a slave pen for my freedom of speech
|
Yeah I'm tryin' to leave the island but swimming through bleach
|
Come on son, why you always ruin the mood
|
Race talks happen every time you enter the room
|
Cuz there's ignorance in the masses
|
Too many people think racism is past tense
|
We fight for blackness but we don't know what black is
|
I know it ain't the zero sum of white man
|
They wanna know how to reach the hood like there's magic
|
Like we're all the same, huh like we're not dynamic
|
Hollywood wants to pimp us to get dough
|
Exploit us but give us money somebody say ho
|
Yeah let's thank those movies and them TV shows
|
Be a token or a player, Uncle Tom row
|
Or be a magic negro until the day I'm gone
|
Hope the white man reach his goal but never reach my own
|
Or an oversexed male, even a coon
|
A young man who loves ignorance praisin' his doom, until then
|

[Verse 2]
|
Say hello to the great cultural brain wash
|
Washin' my brain from some of the things that race taught
|
Miseducate, colonize, divide
|
Teach beauty is straight hair and the bluest of eyes
|
And because of lies I'm debating five percenters
|
How the mid-east movement gon' be a white man's religion
|
How the privileged man say it's time to move forward
|
And say the game's fair when he monopolize the board
|
And corporate greed just manipulates the poor
|
Outside the hood I don't see liquor stores
|
I know God is sovereign and I should pray about it
|
But a man won't stop it if it increases his profits
|
And most ain't realistic with the flow
|
They make music for the streets but I don't see 'em at the show
|
So instead of truth they'd rather be duped
|
I guess they want me to make more songs for youth groups, until then...

[Verse 3]
|
Yeah I got a double consciousness but I'm still in touch
|
Cops got my hands in the air so I ain't feelin' much
|
Lookin' for protection all I can see is tyrants
|
I'm fightin' them coons and thugs racists and dyin' honors
|
That lady you call ho, that's my lover
|
That woman you call b*tch, that's my mother
|
Them boys that you killed, them my brothers
|
Send the ship to the island we can rescue some others
|
Did they fight for civil rights so we could sit on gold
|
I can't walk in your shoes, you keep sellin' your soul
|
No, ain't much Booker T when you look at me
|
But a whole lot of the boys makin' noise until then
