[Intro]

Let me tell you a little story

[Verse 1]

Had a white man tell me I talk about race too much

Boy shut the fuck up

The audacity

Don't know if I have the capacity to just swallow down anymore tacitly implied superiority complexes built over generations of social conditioning, supremacy and mendacity

The cowards would rather keep wool on their eyes and it doesn't come as a surprise

The warning shot was in the fires that burned in the eyes of my ancestors

Their wounds are unhealed and festered

Still no 40 acres, no mule

The shit that they taught us up in school

Would make a genius of a damn fool

Revisionist propaganda for those who won't take a proper gander

At the flaws of the greatest nation

The curses of colonization

The blatant dehumanization

The rotten and hollow foundation

Is crumbling what are we waiting for

Our heads underwater and wading for millennia

It's time to rise up

[Verse 2]

The darker the berry, the tighter the noose

The culture we carry is stolen and used

For aesthetics and profit - they take what we make then deface and whitewash it

Meanwhile we just living life

Chance too high that we just might end up in a cell block or a coffin

Persecuted because we exist

But insurrectionists get slapped on the wrist?

Make it make sense

System working as intended

Niggas languishing in prison for a plant that's making millions for the CEOs and politicians

Twisting bible verses and creating superstitions to indoctrinate people towards hatred and division

They don't want you to use your intuition

Empathy and compassion discouraged

The normalization of brutalization and tribalism that has flourished

In today's society seems to be driving the needle backwards

The exact words of our leader was we will build back better

Let me know how that works

'Cause those that hold the power bathe inside the golden showers

Hoarding all the wealth and pissing on the lowly flowers

We the roots that build the branches that they snatch from

The classes that they tax from

The masses they distract from

The truth of the matter is it really and truly don't matter if the hue of your skin

Or who you're loving or the way you presenting don't match the societal standard

It's all a ploy to keep us divided

Enriching the rich keep resistance subsided

We got to break free - decolonize our minds

And quick - we almost out of time
