J. Powell - Lineage Remixed (feat. Black Chakra & DSkillz Harris)

Born in the birth of a nation
Where they can't wait to wrap a rope Around My neck
And leave me hanging
I'm not waiting on the world to Change
When it owes me reparations
And I'm holding my master's last Name like a contagion
We'll be peaceful
Once the bleeding of our people is done
Spiritually gifted on the mic
Like I'm speaking in tongues
God forgive me
For reacting to this evil
Of some
Cause once I saw that knee on his neck
That's where that demon was from
How do we stay quarantined after that
When your freedom is constantly
Leveraged and neglected
Because you are black
I pray everyday that I don't get shot in the back
Cause that red white blue flag looks different right after that
United we stand until we take a knee for our lives
No justice no peace man and we're just never surprised
Don't forget every sister and every brother we lost
Do I have to use my scope to get my point across
This Life's a fist fight
So Get Right Fast
Niggas with right jabs
Will send you to that
Midnight mass
Where blood suckers
Standing for Jesus
I think they're posers
And bloods out here
Splitting the Cs
I think they're Moses
Criminals be biblical
My race theory is critical
When we say we are Gods
In the flesh, take it literal
King or Caesar
So I rock one
Ethnicity Black
Nationality I ain't got one
I speak broken English purposely
My native is a different tongue
Rose that grew from concrete
I survived in the slums
Cops don't come where I'm from
Until it's way - way after the damage is done
They oppress instead of protect
Instead of give us respect they rather
Give us neglect
It's a daily operation
Just to get a rep
Respect is hard to earn
And some they never will
Revolution never stops so
I can't stand still
