Born in the Ghetto and this is the scene Far from the jungle but looked at the same Animals beast high on them trees Hustle to eat and They pray on they knees vultures and poachers they Come here for trophies posted in camouflage they Wanna shoot me they wanna choke me and Get away clean I can not breath is what what I Would scream but animals don’t have a voice I supposed shot up with holes want make The news unless someone caught it on Cellular phones sleeping all cozy and safe in their Homes at peace with their wrongs cause They get to pull it and buss when they want give Us commands show me your hands but letting Me live is not in your plans My forefathers Were Kings that's who they were we not Talking bout names so why you want Beat me like Rodney Or shoot in the car when a child with Me while my girlfriend go live in the car with Me you wanna spill blood from my arteries Then let all america watch it take it to court And the judge will just drop it. Slamming Gavel like black bodies dropping bigger business Policing and Copping we riot and rally but what are We stopping our children get murdered for BB Gun shopping Black and unapologetically African 400 years of oppression we wrapped up in But our Government Cheese and people like me raised On Government Cheese uhh Red invisible line Around me and mines no ladders to climb yeah we On a steady decline you lie about your history What about mine, Yeah the one that was Stolen I guess that the nose on the sphinx Was to swollen black hieroglyphics tell the story Of Pharaohs and princes, but you stole it and then You depict it as white as them fences that picket Straight disrespected down through the decades They mocked us on camera in Black Face They hung us and burned us at the stake never Caught a break all of our leaders who rose up Met the hate Audubon ballroom Malcolm met his Fate Martin ducked on that Memphis balcony Seconds too late Now they got knees on the necks of my people Thought we were equal our new generation is Lethal if you wanna go there they meet you Back in the sixties we tried to march peaceful But this is the sequel ha the devils a lie and We serve a all mighty God He’s on our side And him and his people are tired You told us Justice was blind but she see my black Behind and she see your black behind and that Why we end up with time but when we All end up dying She don't see police crimes She don't see our mothers crying She don't see us being shot from behind She don't see them beating us with batons Huh answer me that before I’m caught jogging While black or selling them loose cigarettes Before I’m a threat before Im stuck gasping For breath or Father forbid The day they profiling my kids And they die just like Trayvon did But not on my watch see that why we Rally and march that's why we kneel on the field That's why we don't pledge allegiance cause yall Don't live up to ideals and my people is real That's why we show love to you still That’s why we give hugs to you even after you walk In the wrong apartment and kill But we aint forgot we gotta hold in a lot Dealing with 12 and swat cause they want us all In a box see they put George in a box even put Tamir in a box and tell me what happened to Sandra And how do we look in the face of a black Daughter and tell her so she understands it Just a glimpse of the life we were handed Our father which art in heaven Who has blessed this melanin Hallowed be thy name I Holler it As loud as I can I can breath Will those words become A cliche Lord forbid it Become something we just say and police officers Cringe I pray Father that you would be for us What we need you to be today our yesterdays are Filled with memories they would like to down play That they would like to sweep up underneath The rug but sweet and undefeated love Is the sweeper so for all of the times they Put us in a sleeper hold from the days Of old when the water was cold from those Fire hoses called to organize by those Who you rose up like Moses to lead us Over the split waters into the promised land you chose us But woe is us the road is ruff As racism keep rearing her ugly head up But Lord you have already done enough So despite what we go through on this cold Earth we are not the runners up So when the run is up and the race is all finished we hold up our Jesus given first place Ribbon and our victory speech Is Lord We Forgive em We Forgive em
