| Where there’s health neglect
|
| There’s no self-respect
|
| But what else you expect?
|
| Look how they dealt the deck
|
| We inherited stress
|
| Had to bury our best
|
| Martin, Malcolm X
|
| Bullet holes in they chest
|
| We adapt to the struggle
|
| Only way we survive
|
| Eating scraps from the table
|
| But it kept us alive
|
| Making something from nothing
|
| Still we hope for the best
|
| Making miracles happen, daily coping with less
|
| Scar strangled banner
|
| Scar strangled banner
|
| Scar strangled banner
|
| Raised in the ghetto
|
| Singing songs — called survival
|
| But eating soul food to
|
| Have you dead on arrival
|
| Hand on the rifle
|
| Other hand on the bible
|
| Strong as an ox
|
| But look at what you put inside you
|
| We resillient beings
|
| Do the silliest things
|
| Know better than you better
|
| Cause that’s what experience brings
|
| Break out of jail
|
| But can you break out a sickle cell?
|
| We say we livin well
|
| But we living in hell
|
| We already been to the other side
|
| We ain’t turning back, now we choose a lie
|
| To many goodbyes, and that ain’t right
|
| We feel it inside, it’s time to fight
|
| We already been to the other side
|
| We ain’t turning back, now we choose a lie
|
| To many goodbyes, and that ain’t right
|
| We feel it inside, it’s time to fight
|
| We glues to the TV screen commercials in-between
|
| Crack Donalds, Murda King
|
| What happened to eat your greens?
|
| Eatin some or anything, abusing Mary Jane
|
| Chinese chicken wings, everyday hood thing
|
| 5 hour energy, red bull and Hennessey
|
| Head bobbin but the organs full of toxicity
|
| Pack a cool menthol, nicotine pit fall
|
| They have the nerve to
|
| Put cool on the pack so they can trick y’all
|
| Slave to the Dutch master
|
| Colon cancer victim
|
| Tell you on the package
|
| But we still blame the system
|
| No squares in my circle
|
| Screw all that sippin purple
|
| I’m tryina live to my potential
|
| Age is just a number
|
| A G preserve his temple
|
| A G control his temper
|
| No discipline, you slippin
|
| No toxins in my kitchen
|
| Slavery is over cousin
|
| But then at lunch it wasn’t
|
| If food is the last plantation
|
| Then I’m Harriet Tubman
|
| Advocating colonics
|
| Saving my lungs from chronic
|
| But you can’t free a slave
|
| Unless he knows he’s in bondage
|
| (You wanna get freaky? Let’s go)
|
| You can’t free a slave
|
| Unless he knows he’s in bondage |
