Kori Thesupreme - 400 Years

It's like 400 years of school and you ain't learned your lesson, yeh
My kids is fed, I'm outta jail, I'm bout' to count my blessings, yeh
I put the past up for release, then I defeat oppression, yeh
That type of codependency can put you in depression
It's like 400 years of school and you ain't learned your lesson, yeh
My daddy kicked me out the house cause I was disrespectful, yeh
It's like the Hebrews in the wilderness with no perspective, yeh
My niggas in The Promised Land still looking for direction, yeh
You can be headed out to Vegas in the daytime ready, yeh
But you was looking for the lights, so you missed your exit, yeh
You might be at your destination but not know you made it, yeh
Cause your not privy to the signs and geographic changes
Or the mental changes, niggas still got slave names
And political favorites like we really integrated
Now can I rock the stages, yeah and shine this light in places
Where they perpetuate the pipeline of self hatred
If I violated, that was in the matrix, yeh
No I'm not perfect, I'm upgraded, uh
I'm from Long Beach, The Most Hated
My new mindset is the latest, if she know me then we dated
I pop out and get creative, I might leave the scene a painting
All I did was bleed and stain it, put my people on the guest list
No I don't wanna be famous, but the UNITY maintain it
Can't enjoy the entertainment if you not here with me faded
It's like 400 years of school and you ain't learned your lesson, yeh
My kids is fed, I'm outta jail, I'm bout' to count my blessings, yeh
I put the past up for release, then I defeat oppression, yeh
That type of codependency can put you in depression
It's like 400 years of school and you ain't learned your lesson, yeh
My daddy kicked me out the house cause I was disrespectful, yeh
It's like the Hebrews in the wilderness with no perspective, yeh
My niggas in The Promised Land still looking for direction, yeh
I'm at the point in life where all I see is intersections, yeh
Like should I stay or should I go and chase the world possessions, yeh
And if I don't, should I wait for you to make corrections, yeh
I'm a brave man, I resist all the worlds suggestions, yeh
And I always stop to learn my lesson, yeh
The world is crazy you gone need protection
Back up while they do the extras, don't be blinded by the spectrum
I just talked to my dad, a lecture
He said that if it seems that he was hard on me it was for the better
You gone have to face the weather, no discourage keep your head up
Promises of the Lord are forever, that's your kids inheritance
Every one is in the Kingdom including Americans
How sacred is the water and the slaves they carry in
I descended from my father, I'm breathing this air for him
Every seraphim and cherubim 'tend to the chariot
If he can't get with this program, then I cannot tarry here, hmmm
It's like 400 years of school and you ain't learned your lesson, yeh
My kids is fed, I'm outta jail, I'm bout' to count my blessings, yeh
I put the past up for release, then I defeat oppression, yeh
That type of codependency can put you in depression
It's like 400 years of school and you ain't learned your lesson, yeh
My daddy kicked me out the house cause I was disrespectful, yeh
It's like the Hebrews in the wilderness with no perspective, yeh
My niggas in The Promised Land still looking for direction, yeh
