BLACK AMERIKKKA


I been moving like a Pharaoh
Was told I’m a Thoro they running out of choices for living too narrow 
Kids on drugs overdosed on the bus 
Recording X final moments n****s missing the love
Don’t believe in they energy n****s rather be enemies
I rather fight the power with the brothers offending me 
They don’t understand
A brilliant mind with a sharp vision and bigger plan
When s*it hit the fan they hate being the bigger man
Sadly enough they love putting n****s in cuffs
They silence us only hear us when they got us f*cked 
F*ck
We only running out of time
They putting kids in cages fuck is wrong with they mind 
F*ck is wrong with this country we still paying for school
Every time we try to build they taking away the tools 
Gentrification still hurting the babies
They lock away our dads then call our mamas crazy 
How that make you feel knowing that s*it is real
Slavery Trauma got us acting how you made us feel
STILL
They still shooting up schools
How do I tell my child duck down if he hear em shoot
Type of s*it make a n***a wanna act a fool 
Maybe slave a whole race call it reversible shoes 
STILL Slaves but this time we getting paid
Spend it on bullshit and wonder why we never save 
S*it is chess not checkers but they love cheddar
Love it so much going broke and can never settle
So they figure it’s life and never figure it out
And try to judge the only n***a who done made it out
