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
