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
