Ayesha Says (Intro) - Lupe Fiasco (鲁佩·菲亚斯科)[00:00:00]
Hijabs hoodies afros locks[00:00:02]
Teddy bear liquor bottle shrines rocks[00:00:05]
Tanks prayer rugs church pews [00:00:07]
Mexican corn stands[00:00:09]
Blood sweat and tears police batons[00:00:11]
Gas masks and bullets create graffiti on corners[00:00:13]
Murals that salute freedom[00:00:16]
Or death for liberty[00:00:17]
Be it Inglewood or Egypt [00:00:19]
Bedstuy or Baghdad[00:00:20]
Syria or Liberia the west bank[00:00:22]
Or the west side of Chicago[00:00:23]
Where food and liquor stores[00:00:25]
Still occupy the block[00:00:26]
While police and community watchmen justify why they shot[00:00:28]
Emmit Till and Malice Green [00:00:31]
Rekia Boyd and Trayvon Martin[00:00:32]
Better not wear that hoodie[00:00:34]
While shopping for a carton[00:00:35]
Or whatever they sellin in your food desert[00:00:37]
Cause your soul is dessert[00:00:39]
And will be dissected and consumed[00:00:40]
On the Fox evening news while we sing the blues[00:00:42]
The new Jim Crow caged bird sings[00:00:44]
Cause he's tired of occupying his misery[00:00:47]
And of our marching[00:00:49]
He wanna fly to a higher consciousness[00:00:50]
But his school on academic probation[00:00:52]
They gave him medicine [00:00:54]
Diagnosed him with a felony and mental retardation[00:00:55]
So he refuses to cease the firin nobody's hirin[00:00:58]
In Illinois 67 is the new age when you retirin[00:01:01]
Class lines have blurred [00:01:04]
Those who used to have have not[00:01:06]
Pensions bein snatched[00:01:07]
Those who never have keep their hands stretched[00:01:09]
Social services being cut[00:01:11]
Sterilization clinics giving out pills to numb the womb[00:01:13]
Young girls referring to their vaginas as tombs[00:01:16]
Thinkin protests are temporary and trendy[00:01:19]
Well rock a t-shirt and carry a poster[00:01:21]
And two weeks later it's back to normal[00:01:23]
But they say times are changin'[00:01:25]
The revolution is becoming second nature [00:01:27]
Causes are combining[00:01:29]
People carrying torches [00:01:31]
Hope burning from their hands[00:01:32]
Attaching explosive devices[00:01:33]
Cause they keep stealing their lands[00:01:35]
In the name of freedom[00:01:37]
Hijabs hoodies afros locks[00:01:38]
Teddy bear liquor bottle shrines rocks[00:01:42]
Tanks prayer rugs church pews [00:01:44]
Mexican corn stands[00:01:46]
Blood sweat and tears police batons[00:01:48]
Gas masks and bullets create graffiti on corners[00:01:50]
