I'm a need all of you to

Put on your thinking caps and open ya minds

While I shed some light like I opened the blinds

Clear your thoughts of all media driven slander

Meaningless propaganda

I'm dropping knowledge like carpenters dropping hammers

Nails in your coffin

That's symbolic with thinking failures an option

Call em burial plots we trapped in our conscious

With metaphorical locks

Niggas labeled as monsters the price of being on top

Put your souls up for auction we all slaves to the system

Let me say that shit again

We all slaves to the system

Blindly basing our image off what I think is a gimmick

Music, fame, and religion, all this racial division

All our faces are different all our hearts are the same

If we played our part it would change but nobody's paying attention

So it's always the same...

Let me break it down

So your working hard for your checks, working hard for success

Cause money can buy you power and power gets you respect

So you picking up extra hours, hoping that you'll expect

Something different than what you getting although it's what you accept

And the government takes a fourth of your profits if I'm correct

In taxes every year sends the IRS to collect

And it all goes through the federal reserve

Which loans the money with interest to the government

So we're always in debt, and since were always in debt

And since were always in debt, that means were always at war

It's like were paying for death, so rest in peace to the soldiers

I gladly pay my respect to those who serve and protect

But I'll be damned if I stay here with my fucking knees on the floor

And these fucking chains on my neck

You claiming that we ain't slaves though? shit

We all slaves but I'm looking something like Django

But y'all be focused on media wondering where you're brains go

And that's the reason I chain smoke

Y'all be watching the news everyday though

You only making moves when they say so

Waiting for your Que like OK go

They show you all the killings, kidnapping and drug dealings

You get all in your feelings like fuck it I rather lay low

So you stay in your houses instead of being heroic

The world is shrinking around us, niggas don't even know it

They got us right where they want us, stagnant, ignorant

While they take our rights away and y'all don't even give a shit

Well I ain't having it, fuck it nobody's innocent

Cause were letting it happen

Our minds are being distracted it's causing a chain reaction

It seems disaster is imminent

And this the type of country were supposed to raise our children in?

We can't change the world without changing our minds butthe only thing that's changing is time

My nigga we cannot change the world without changing our minds but the only thing that's changing is time

Wake up people

Hey man I tired of seeing children on drugs

Shooting dope in their arms cause their parents don't give em hugs

Young lady's having baby's or rather be in the club

Brothers killing each other, my nigga where is the love?

We should be healing each other

Yet I can't watch a video on facebook

Without seeing cops beating niggas till they face look Emmit Till worthy

People getting cancer, government calling it pill worthy

Knowing they got the answers cause pharmaceuticals are like

The second biggest profit behind war

And people wanna know what we dying for?

It's crazy a nigga can't even go to a fucking grocery store without wondering

If the produce is flooded with GMO's

I see the trails in the sky, the only see it as smoke

I shed a tear from my eye, I feel like I'm losing hope

Is someone praying to god? deliver us from the greed

They no red white and blue only green and I see it now
