[00:20.55]Here we go here here we go again
[00:23.57]Trayvon'll never get to be an older man
[00:26.32]Black children they childhood stole from them
[00:28.66]Robbed of our names and our language stole again
[00:31.08]Who stole the soul from black folk
[00:32.95]Same man that stole the land from Chief Black Smoke
[00:34.96]And made the whip crackle on our back slow
[00:37.32]And made us go through the back door
[00:38.66]And raffle black bodies on the slave blocks
[00:40.90]Now we slave to the blocks on 'em we spray shots
[00:43.85]Leaving our own to lay in a box
[00:45.94]Black mother's stomachs stay in a knot
[00:47.65]We kill each other it's part of the plot
[00:49.64]I wish the hating will stop war
[00:52.52]And the battle with us
[00:53.49]I know that Black lives matter and they matter to us
[00:56.30]These are the things we gotta discuss
[00:58.23]The new plantation mass incarceration
[01:01.35]Instead of educate they'd rather convict the kids
[01:03.85]As dirty as the water in Flint the system is
[01:06.48]Is it a felony or a misdemeanor
[01:09.07]Maria Sharapova making more than Serena
[01:11.68]It took Viola Davis to say this
[01:13.52]The roles of the help and the gangsters is really all they gave us
[01:16.99]We need Avas Ta Nehisis and Cory Bookers
[01:19.84]The salt of the Earth to get us off of sugar
[01:22.30]And greasy foods
[01:23.31]I don't believe the news or radio stereotypes we refuse
[01:26.69]
[01:27.39]Brainwashed in the cycle to spin
[01:29.54]We write our own story black America again
[01:32.10]You know One way of solving a lot of problems
[01:35.91]That we've got is lettin' a person feel
[01:40.11]That they're important and a man can't get himself together
[01:43.23]Until he knows who he is and be proud of what
[01:46.17]And who he is and where he come from
[01:49.93]And where he come from
[01:51.99]
[01:52.94]Hot damn black America again
[01:55.09]Think of Sandra Bland as I'm staring in the wind
[01:57.75]The color of my skin they comparing it to sin
[02:00.34]The darker it gets the less fairer it has been
[02:02.87]The hate the hate made I inherited from them
[02:05.48]But I ain't gon' point the finger we got annointed singers
[02:07.48]Like Nina Marvin Billie Stevie
[02:10.39]Need to hear them songs sometimes to believe me
[02:12.46]Who freed me Lincoln or Cadillac
[02:14.91]Drinking or battle raps or is it Godspeed that we travel at
[02:17.99]Endangered in our own habitat
[02:19.94]The guns and d**e man y'all can have it back
[02:22.48]As a matter of fact we them lab rats
[02:24.88]You build the projects for now you want your hood back
[02:27.55]I guess if you could rap you would express it too
[02:30.29]That PTSD we need professionals
[02:32.59]You know what pressure do it make the pipes bust
[02:35.30]From schools to prison y'all they tryna pipe us
[02:37.81]Tell your political parties invite us
[02:40.44]Instead of making voting laws to spite us
[02:42.99]You know you know we from a family of fighters
[02:45.01]
[02:45.53]Fought in your wars and our wars
[02:47.75]You put a ni**a in Star Wars maybe you need two
[02:50.46]
[02:51.11]And then maybe then we'll believe you
[02:53.15]See black people in the future
[02:55.78]We wasn't shipped here to rob and shoot ya
[02:58.35]We hold these truths to be self evident
[03:00.63]All men and women are created equal including black Americans
[03:04.45]You know you know you know One way of solving a lot of problems
[03:08.46]That we've got is to let a person feel like somebody
[03:12.43]
[03:13.12]And a man can't get himself together
[03:14.99]Until he knows who he is and be proud of what and who he is
[03:18.83]
[03:19.55]And where he come from and where he come from
[03:23.85]
