See it was the assassination of MLK JFK FRED HAMPTON MALCOM X WE AINT START MURDER EACH OTHER 60s early 70d when all our leaders was killed that’s when we start murdering each other we got confused this this shit new to us NOW WE IN A STATE OF DESTRUCTION RIGHT NOW.....(verse) Amercain made- it all started from the slave trade- that’s the blame on how we behave- like call shoot it each down all we see is rage- they took a mother from her kid she was pre paid- then hung her son on a tree til he decayed- then raped her daughter in front of her dad was afraid- great granny house burnt by the 3 KKKs- 400 plus years beginning stage- 40 acres and a mule- where it’s at I’m confused- only country it’s a crime to send ya kids to school- they a kill you if you learnt how to read to- they killed Emmitt Till and they and have proof- as a black man we was set to loose- red white and blues- we had to set the rules- now it’s black on black crime when you check the news- my last album it was timeless now I’m back with jewels- they killed all our black teachers- MLK was the strongest leader- Fred Hampton in his sleep killed em for reason- then took a pic of the shit he on the ground bleeding- fbi the heathens- any black man a threat if he form allegiance- Malcolm x on the steps shot em down for treason- presidents politics shit we don’t believe in- they us out to dry or drop us in the deep end- that’s why I never vote- this the realest shit I never wrote- we was all scackled fresh off the boat- then they came with christanity we got provoked- our living habits eating habits it got so gross- high blood pressure strokes- smart black man is what they hate the most- what I learned the most- reading Jim crowe- I’m tryna shine a light on you but it’s dimed low- like ya brain moving slow- I guess jesus was a white men- cuz a black man a kill you for ya jump mans- killuminati pac dead I’m the front man- judge playing football he the punt man- and roofed- you- a black man with common sense you ain’t use to- ya church and ya schools they confused you- you steady worrying bout who’s who- worry bout ya history and pass you have no clue-
(Dajah Monae bridge) pay attention to your world never trust a soul or what you heard why you hurting me I’m just your friend suppose to have my back until the end wake up wake up no rent money was suppose to pray to the eye of so so kiss- cuz the time is now.
Dark lo. We blossom like a flower eventually- our fathers was devoured for centuries- 500 years check the history- I’m speaking all facts you can disagree- time just moving and moving- black man still losing and losing- government gave us crack it was a epidemic- white folks o ded of opioids it’s a crisis- don’t stay sleep- don’t stay sleep- dream is for the weak- dream is for the weak- aunty rosa said fuck it she ain’t move her seat- for nothing we still dien killing in the streets-40 acers and a mule they lien threw they teeth- I need a bank loan wil anybody vouch for me- Our greatest leader head shot on the balcony- same head shot to jfk the had it out for him- Wake up wake up take a look around- wake up wake We are falling down- wake up wake up no rent money- I still pray to the eye i so so kiss- You have to wake up wake up because the time is now
