Chapter 9: Jim Crow |
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 |
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 oxed male, even a coon |
A young man who loves ignorance praisin' his doom, until then |
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 |
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… |
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 |
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 |
I feel entrapped 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 |
Hey here we are, put on a show |
Dance a jig, go Jim Crow |
Hey here we are, put on a show |
Dance a jig, go monkey go |
Hey here we are, put on a show |
Dance a jig, go Jim Crow |
Go Jim Crow, say go Jim Crow |
Go Jim Crow, say go monkey go |
Yeah it’s what you want me to do right? |
It’s what you want me to do right? |
Are you entertained? |
Are you entertained? |
