Who Stole The Soul? |
| Once again, this is it |
| Turn it up, here we go |
| But this time the rhyme |
| Gonna ask who did the crime |
| Then let’s get down to the nitty-gritty |
| Like I wanna know who |
| Picked Wilson’s pocket |
| Fact, he rocked it |
| Fact, he shocked it |
| Same kinda thing they threw at James (Brown) |
| And what they did to Redd was a shame |
| The bigger the Blacks get |
| The bigger the feds want |
| A piece of that … booty |
| Intentional Rape System, like we ain’t |
| Paid enough in this bitch, that’s why I dissed them |
| I learned we earned, got no concern |
| Instead we burned, where the hell is our return? |
| Plain and simple the system’s a pimp |
| But I refuse to be a ho who stole the soul |
| Ain’t, no, different than in South Africa |
| Over here they’ll go after ya to steal your soul |
| Like over there they stole our gold |
| Yo, they say the Black don’t know how to act (Who, me?) |
| Cause we’re waitin' for the big payback |
| But we know it’ll never come |
| That’s why I say come and get some |
| Why when the Black move it, Jack was out |
| Come to stay Jack moves away |
| Ain’t we all people? |
| How the hell can a color be no good for a neighborhood |
| Help, straighten me out |
| Cause my tribe gets a funny vibe |
| Say I’m wrong for singin' a song |
| Without solutions |
| All the dancers answer questions |
| And try to be the best and… |
| Let everybody know before I blow |
| For the sake of what’s right |
| I wanna know what sucka stole the soul |
| We choose to use their ways |
| And holidays notice some of them are heller days |
| Invented by those who never repented |
| For the sins within that killed my kin |
| But that’s all right |
| I try do what a brother does |
| But I’ll never know if you’re my cuz |
| That’s why I try my best to unite |
| And damn the rest if they don’t like it |
| Banned from many arenas |
| Word from the motherland |
| Has anybody seen her |
| Jack was nimble, Jack was quick |
| Got a question for Jack ask him |
| 40 acres and a mule Jack |
| Where is it why’d you try to fool the Black |
| It wasn’t you, but you pledge allegiance |
| To the red, white, and blue |
| Sucker that stole the soul! |
