Eedb - Take my people home

Oh Lord
Oh lord, oh lord
When you gonna take your people home
Everybody's telling me history's elementary
If you wanna get with me then you have to sit with me
I am not legit you see,
I am public enemy
Just a liability now you say i'm being silly
Really is it true that i'm cool,
When i take all your jobs and i'm prowling your schools
When i'm breaking the rules messing round with your gene pool
Now you got a caramel kid in your preschool
It's a fact that you tolerate the black
Cause your conscience tells you
You can't send us back
And if you could send us
Where would you take us
Back to our country you fucked it you raped us
Ain't much left but an aids epidemic
And a few dictators the poisons endemic
So we fly to the land of the free and the brave
Cause it's better than living in a bombed out cave
You take our history erase all the positives
Elevate the negatives now i need a sedative
Just to get over my anger confusion
Why you have to play with us
Sell us an illusion
Why you gotta tell us that we're here to be equal
It's like a sequel that's worse than a prequel
It's a soap opera where i'm just the soap
Or the bad guy in the shadows with the long black cloak
I just wanna pimp my ride
And walk without my fofo strapped to my side
Yeah because i just wanna keep my pride
And you can be my bonnie and i can be your clyde
Oh lord i just wanna close my eyes
And wake up in the morning to a nice sunrise
When you gonna take your people home
When you gonna rest these feet that roam
I seen mountains of cocaine
And rivers of cum
I seen too many young bucks come undone
I seen too many bullet holes
Too many wounds
Too many mammas singing funeral tunes
I seen too many niggas man just turn crazy
Going through the system, somethings kinda shady
You don't need a hole in the head for a lobotomy
They pump you with drugs man and sap all your energy
Too many soldiers go to war smiling
Come back with a syndrome start buckwhiling
Too many niggas looking for the payday
Fighting for the president now they ain't got no say
Too many bitches looking for the bling bling
End up with chlamydia listen to them sing sing
Too many kids looking to the drugs game
End up in the system plugged into the mainframe
I just wanna pimp my ride
And walk without my fofo strapped to my side
Yeah because i just wanna keep my pride
And you can be my bonnie and i can be your Clyde
Oh lord i just wanna close my eyes
And wake up in the morning to a nice sunrise
When you gonna take your people home
When you gonna rest these feet that roam
Don't wanna feel alone no more
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Come on lock up your daughters
Throw away the key
You know you don't want them hanging out with me
Come on and batten down the hatches
Say the job is taken
Doesn't really matter if i have an education
Run to the hills when i ask you for directions
I'm only trying to get home not show you my erection
If the cap fits you wear it declare it
Don't try to hide it i just can't abide it
Don't hide behind your laws and your rhetoric
And smile in my face and be all esoteric
When you really wanna lose it and be more generic
Who you think you're kidding when you talk like a cleric
I'm a black man i smell it when you hate me
I feel it when you slate me
I know you can't relate to me
But that's ok see
I just take it easy
I know the lord will come for me with him i find equality
Ohhhhh
I just wanna pimp my ride
And walk without my fofo strapped to my side
Yeah because i just wanna keep my pride
And you can be my bonnie and i can be your clyde
Oh lord i just wanna close my eyes
And wake up in the morning to a nice sunrise
When you gonna take your people home
When you gonna rest these feet that roam
Oh gosh
I just wanna hit these streets
Without having nightmares every time i sleep
Yeah because i just wanna walk my walk
And never see my body circled in chalk
Oh lord i just wanna close my eyes
And wake up in the morning to some nice blue skies
When you gonna take your people home
When you gonna rest these feet that roam
