You sell your soul[00:00:00]

Like you sell a piece of ass[00:00:01]

Slave to the dead white leaders on paper[00:00:06]

And welfare cases[00:00:09]

Rapists and hoes[00:00:10]

All reinforced your TV show[00:00:11]

Exotic and beautiful videos[00:00:14]

Yeah[00:00:17]

A jail's a sanctuary for the walking dead[00:00:17]

It f**ks with your head[00:00:19]

When every black leader ends up dead[00:00:20]

Somebody said[00:00:21]

Our greatest destiny is to become white[00:00:22]

But white is not pure[00:00:24]

And hate is not pride[00:00:26]

And just 'cause civil rights is law[00:00:27]

Doesn't mean that we all abide[00:00:29]

So tell me are you free [00:00:31]

While we campaign for every dead nigga blvd[00:00:32]

So young motherf**kers can drive down it in your fancy cars[00:00:35]

Free[00:00:38]

You try to hold on to some Africa of the past[00:00:39]

One must remember[00:00:43]

It's other Africans that helped enslave your ass[00:00:43]

'Cause everybody's[00:00:47]

Just trying to make to make that dollar[00:00:47]

Remember what Jesse used to say [00:00:50]

I am somebody[00:00:52]

No longer do I blame others[00:00:54]

For the way that we be[00:00:55]

'Cause niggas need to redefine[00:00:57]

What it means to be free[00:00:58]

I can't even tell my brothers and sisters that they're fine[00:01:01]

This absence of beauty[00:01:05]

In their heart and mind[00:01:06]

Stopped breastfeeding the child[00:01:09]

You put 'em on the cow[00:01:10]

And now you wonder why they act wild[00:01:11]

You see brown folks are the[00:01:13]

Keepers of the earth[00:01:14]

Unifiers of the soul and mind[00:01:15]

Not these wannabe gaudy pimps and thugs[00:01:16]

Wearing diamond watches[00:01:18]

From African slave mines[00:01:20]

Perhaps to be free[00:01:23]

Is to all love those who hate me[00:01:24]

And die a beautiful death[00:01:26]

And make pretty brown babies[00:01:28]

You campaign for every dead nigga blvd[00:01:30]

So y'all young motherf**kers can drive down it in their fancy cars[00:01:33]

You try to hold on to some Africa of the past[00:01:37]

Then one must remember[00:01:41]

It's other Africans that helped enslave your ass[00:01:41]

Everybody's trying to make that dollar[00:01:45]

Remember what Jesse used to say [00:01:48]

I am somebody[00:01:50]

No longer do I blame others[00:01:52]

For the way that we be[00:01:53]

'Cause niggas need to redefine[00:01:55]

What it means to be free[00:01:56]

You campaign for every dead nigga blvd[00:01:59]

Just trying to make that dollar[00:02:00]

So y'all young motherf**kers can drive down it in your fancy cars[00:02:03]

You try to hold on to some Africa of the past[00:02:06]

Then one must remember[00:02:10]

It's other Africans that helped enslave your ass[00:02:10]

'Cause everybody's[00:02:13]

Trying to make that dollar[00:02:15]

Remember what Jesse used to say [00:02:17]

I am somebody[00:02:19]

No longer do I blame white folks[00:02:21]

For the way that we be[00:02:22]

'Cause niggas need to redefine[00:02:25]

What it means to be[00:02:26]

Free [00:02:28]

I'm standing on the pot[00:02:38]

Where you put drop your rights on your human rights[00:02:39]

I'm standing on the temple of nature[00:02:42]

That's right[00:02:47]

You see probably rights control by man[00:02:49]

That human's rights is control by nature[00:02:52]
