They promised land to our people we got lied to
The system ain't broke it's working how it's designed to
So they labeled us black then they made it a crime too
Then they gave us some crack
And they gave us the time too
They promised land to our people well we was lied to
The system ain't broke it's working how it's designed to
So they labeled us black then they made it a crime too
Then they gave us some crack
And they gave us the time too
When a slave gets freedom what does it really mean
The playing field ain't level equality don't mean anything
Equity what we fighting for
Recklessly we been driving directions that's looking cyclical
The message that it's time to grow
It's time to show us who we are and where we come from
Our lineage is unsung, watch history get undone
With truth spilled that they concealed they tried to make us run from
The truth is that you mirror the God of which we come from
It's so egregious they stole our leaders we left for dead
The children needed they fathers threw em in special ed
Then gave them ritalin fiddling with they special edge
We don't consider the trauma that's messing with they head
Our whole history in this country we lied to
Hard to believe in the government when u tried to
They made promises the fruit of which has yet gleaned
And never followed thru on Special Order number 15
They promised land to our people well we was lied to
The system ain't broke it's working how it's designed to
So they labeled us black then they made it a crime too
Then they gave us some crack
And they gave us the time too
They promised land to our people well we was lied to
The system ain't broke it's working how it's designed to
So they labeled us black then they made it a crime too
Then they gave us some crack
And they gave us the time too
That's times 2 if ya skin brown nigga I knew
That black boys an endangered species and that wasn't no haiku
My momma told me but I believed it cuz I observed
My skin color define me sometimes more than my words
That never sat well but I have tales
As a black man it's a coin toss
Get pulled over get ya cap peeled
It might sound sick but that's real
It's a sad truth that we gotta face
If you know you know and you have to feel
It's so unfortunate my soul scorching how could it be
Our fall from greatness relates to us marching in the streets
It's all connected we disrespected because we great
Fathers get put in a box mothers on section 8
I see a plan you might see a conspiracy
Reverse engineer it's apparent they biggest fear is me
They'll probably try to convince you that this is heresy
The truth ain't black and white my finding is that it's clear to see
They promised land to our people but we was lied to
The system ain't broke it's working how it's designed to
So they labeled us black then they made it a crime too
Then they gave us some crack
and they gave us the time too
