Beats used to bring peace Now I use it as my piece Lyrics used to free the soul Nowadays they arm the streets Water's neva been still Still they turn up the heat Freedom's at arms reach So I can't accept defeat Find a wealthy man, you'll find a hundred more Stuck in poverty This the soul goal of their demonic economy Always had vs the never had and never gon' get The lies that they built never would and they won't sit A scent of the pie keeps the starvin at bay But just watch cause a cornered rat is no longer prey Bullets spit nameless Yet Aiyana's made famous They bailing out banks While the workers steady sankin Deeper in manure Chest deep in the sewer Make it hard to maneuver When the options gettin fewer The tears getting heavy in my palms Cause I'm 9 millimeters away from losing my calm They ain't outlaw ya drum Ain't beating it right They ain't cut out ya tongue Ain't speaking it right Gotta change up the rules once we make it a fight Freedom come like a thief in the night Whether poems, stones, or glocks Black power's what I prop See, I'm more like Baraka And you more like Barack But it ain't do diplomacy When you owin' me Them credit scores and picket fenced in homes That you throwin me Don't block the path to freedom I am nobody's tool Steph taught me to learn I am nobody's fool Them tokens they let past Make you think it's all cool But Black wealth is the exception Ain't never been the rule And the schools don't educate They incarcerate the mind Same food they feed in prison Givin in the lunch lines What I address in rhyme Ain't built for their design The fist symbolize freedom You waiting for punchlines Revolution state of mind I ain't made for no mag Stuck in between confederate flags and artificial swag And I won't lose my pivot Don't look to me to pass When I run out of ink Then a nine will write my wrath They ain't outlaw ya drum Ain't beating it right They ain't cut out ya tongue Ain't speaking it right Gotta change up the rules once we make it a fight Freedom come like a thief in the night They ain't outlaw ya drum Ain't beating it right They ain't cut out ya tongue Ain't speaking it right Gotta change up the rules once we make it a fight Freedom come like a thief in the night How long you gon' turn the other cheek In the warzone You accept losing Then your conclusion is foregone Holes in his palm So the struggle's not in vain And Rome wasn't built nor burnt in a day Deacons pass trays Five or Six pass strays Mama sending hail mary's like it was a pass play While you sit passive We crafting paths to pave In the spirit of the Panthers Textbooks and gauge Whether shells or the page You gon' feel my rage Auntie poison the stew I set the field ablaze Went from hosing marchers To floodin the ghettos with crack, smack, and AIDS And still they say the fruit is strange Mind stayed on freedom Can't fall to no wage For the women and the children In Jesus' name No bills, but these bars gon' make it rain Put an end to the terror's reign They ain't outlaw ya drum Ain't beating it right They ain't cut out ya tongue Ain't speaking it right Gotta change up the rules once we make it a fight Freedom come like a thief in the night They ain't outlaw ya drum Ain't beating it right They ain't cut out ya tongue Ain't speaking it right Gotta change up the rules once we make it a fight Freedom come like a thief in the night They ain't outlaw ya drum Ain't beating it right They ain't cut out ya tongue Ain't speaking it right Gotta change up the rules once we make it a fight Freedom come like a thief in the night
