Kool KEN - Living As One

Zone 15 Produkkionz Kollaboration
I ain't even talking to you
But you be listening
Speaking out of turn
Wrong answer
Stop dipping in
My peoples business
Interrupting the teacher
Changing the focus
Making us weaker
Divide and conquer tactics for centuries
Royalty and strength
Erased from our memories
Stolen from our land
Whipped and chained
Inferiority
Imbedded in our brains
Segregated
Was the way we had to grow
Our melanin made it
Hard for us to show
Which way we had to go
Tried to keep us out the snow
Midas touch
Everything we touch turns to gold
Because we the purest
Don't need much to cure us
So they infiltrate us
With the tourists
He looks like me
But goes by the name of Judas
To get to us
They use us as the shooter
I wish the world were truly happy
I wish the world
Living as one
Living as one
I wish the world were truly happy
Wish we were truly happy
Living as one
When I speak on it
They call me ungracious
Turn it around
As if I am the racist
Displace us from our homes
And communities
Gentrification
With Diplomatic Immunity
Get mad
When we point out their privilege
Say I'm offensive
They always defensive
Taking it personal
Hypocritical
I ain't lying
The truth is what I'm giving you
We tired of dying
I slow it down
so we can over stand
Stop shooting me in my back
When I throw up my hands
Is that too much to ask
To stop killing me
I need to speak it in sign
Cause you ain't hearing me
We want to be treated equal
Like our counterpart
Given the same privileges
We working just as hard
Minus the same tools
But with some different rules
Make an example out of me
Yo
Lock up the poor
And let the rich go free
I wish the world were truly happy
You feel me
Living as one
Living as one
I wish the world were truly happy
Living as one
Don't be afraid to express yourself
We're not uncivilized
We're not irrational
We just want to live as one
Peacefully
It's ya boy Kool Ken
Holla atchya boy
Peace
