I do this for the ones that came before me
Yall know the story
To be black and aware and care while coming up poorly
In the slums of subjugation
And this illusion of equality created through desegregation
Was all apart of the placement
Cuz truth be told society never wanted integration
They wanted assimilation
This is simulation
They want us in the matrix
Cuz none are more helplessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they're free
What a statement
America must atone for the sins of the father
You hear it in my tone im composed with the strength of a martyr
Strength of the Martin's, Malcolm's and Garvey's
Could never go out like West and Harvey
Im too perfected and godly, f*ck what they call me
My trigger finger calmly waitin for war time
They givin out more time for dope than war crime
Gotta keep me a piece to protect my peace in war time
Easy as stencil pencil my pistol is draw time
Yea
This complexion is perfection
Look at my skin muhfucka I'm on the guest list
They want me in
They want me doin 10
For some shit I was born with like eternal sin
This shit dont feel right
Its like my chest tight
They say nigga every morning to make they teeth white
F*ck you gon do about
Slang cane, pack that thing and go and shoot about it
Thats exactly what they want to make them feel empowered
Let me tell you how the deck is stacked way before they deal the cards
The playin field can never be even peep how they seal the odds
Let me take you back to slavery
Yea I know the field is hard
Imagine a nigga couldn't read or write, but hey here is God
Better yet, take it a little further back to that middle passage
Thats what set all this pain in motion this shit is drastic
Bribed us and snatched us from native lands, talkin stealin us by the masses
Packed us in ships and dragged us to lands to serve them as a masters
But that boat ride, over is where they broke minds
Saw our interaction spotted the alpha in no time
In front of everybody beat him to death then disposed of him
Found a woman, beat her, but let her live to impose something
The fear set in
And they controlled us, we're weakened so now they mold us
Commodities to be reduced to property and then they sold us
For profit, taking our prophets and soldiers so that today
400 Years later they take us and do us the same way
But this the end of that
This complexion is perfection
Look at my skin muhfucka I'm on the guest list
They want me in
They want me doin 10
For some shit I was born with like eternal sin
This shit dont feel right
Its like my chest tight
They say nigga every morning to make they teeth white
F*ck you gon do about
Slang cane, pack that thing and go and shoot about it
Thats exactly what they want to make them feel empowered
But this the end of that
Salute to all the ancestors that been through that
Just as sure as I breathing Im seeking revenge for that
Reclaiming all they stole for our woes, I need that interest taxed
From the diaspora of mother Africa and best believe we headed back
See this is that
Unfied, the connection of U N I
T Y see my motives is to get you to see the you in I
We are a reflection of one another
Embedded in shades of melanin reppin for one another
Here's a message to one another
