| 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 by 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 |
