It's time to control the narrative They told me that words are powerful So I should mind what I say Therefore; I'm going to say this We need our own identity We need our own land No, we don't need their promises We need our plan So we can execute Don't execute your own man How you killing over somewhere you don't own man? I'm very proud to know that we can make the best out the worst But as long as we claim black We gon' be plagued with a curse Another black body inside of a back of hearse And then we double back and holla no justice no peace You best realize that freedom don't come free So either pay the price or get stuck with a bill Now, please don't tell me how slavery was abolished When Angola got my homies in the field working Democrats - Republicans, that's the same person So please don't tell me bout their laws Because they ain't working Their man-made, they're supposed to change that's the main purpose Keep you dazed and confused, that's the man's purpose Meanwhile, they broadcasting propaganda on the news Got you thinking that every single fact equals truth But one thing that I advise you to comprehend Truth doesn't have to be proven by man Goddam I know this ain't politically correct We don't need to stop hate We just need our respect We don't need reparations till we get an ego check Then financial literacy to invest in some assets I can literally speak about everything we need to do But I'd be a hypocrite if I said I'm better than you In reality, I'm going through these same struggles too Repeat after me, here's what we gon' do Head up high Stand on what I believe Never compromise I will always be free Truth in my lungs So the truth I will speak I can breathe Yes, I can breathe Head up high Stand on what I believe Never compromise I will always be free Truth in my lungs So the truth I will speak I can breathe Yes, I can breathe Oooooooooooo Oooooooooooo Oooooooooooo Oooooooooooo Oooooooooooo Oooooooooooo Oooooooooooo Oooooooooooo Oooooooooooo Let's not focus on what they got going on Let's focus on building our own And then protecting that thing that we built Know what I'm saying It's like they really don' fooled us and made us hate ourself Know what I mean They got us thinking that N*gger is a bad word Like literally, N*gger activates your trigger Then you get emotional Then you get a second-degree murder Or whatever the case is cuz' somebody on the other side called you a N*gger Right, but what they ain't tell you is N*gger, really Negus have power - sovereignty Another thing, we gotta stop having this false sense of pride man HBCUs are not for us We don't own them So we don't control them Peace
