[Verse 1: Akrobatik]

Yeah, it was written in the books of Europeans we were savage

That our history was insignificant and minds below average

But how can one diminish the work

Of the most imitated culture on this earth

Fast foward to 2000 and now

You see it everywhere you look, speech, music, fasion and style

It's black dialogue

Go ahead kid, try it on

It's much harder to master than precision with firearms

Corny niggas switch it up and rent it to Viacom

But it was taught to me early on by my mom

Master yourself, for maximum outreach potential

Respect that you get from that will grow exponential

Preferential treatment, brings us heat when

It only goes to those who rock the diamonds and sequins

They invite the kiddies to the video show

To watch the fake titty models all act like hoes

I guessed it goes the more ignorance the more press

But everywhere I look I'm seeing black people with more stress

But does that mean we should be shucking and jiving

Fucking and kniving just to keep our bank accounts thriving

See I walked the path my elder laid out

'Cause acting like a monkey for white folks is played out

I get my own money, on my own terms

Got heat for everybody, watch the microphone burn

[Verse 2: Mr. Lif]

Let me tell you about my niggas nowadays

Nowadays niggas acting like slaves because it pays many ways

A, to get the pussy - B, to get the cars

C, the jewels around their neck

But their demise is not farfetched

Step with that Uncle Tom, fucking palm action

And my TV's always off because I see something truely black then

Aww shit, got a call from Brother Malcolm

Awakened from the grave, he's asking, "What the fuck happened?"

I said these niggas all want homes in the Hamptons

It's Dimension shows so they do what white man asks them

Throwing money at the screen that other brother ain't catching

Yes, hellish foes, and now they rest in peace, thanks for asking

They rather teach eachother how to fire chrome than to buy a home

There's power in the land that we own

You need capital to start to win the capitalism

Take the money from the sales and buy some places for living

Rather black landlords than white chalk on the floor

Our mentality's the casualty that's keeping us poor

And the poor teach the rich how to work

Rich teach the kids how to invest, hence we're dying from stress

And the rhythm of the drums shines its own sun

My father said, "Son, think a brighter day is ever gon' come"

I said, "Pops, rock a beat box

And I'ma empty out my mind 'cause I'm around till I drop"

[Chorus]

Yo, Martin and Malcolm knew it

Black dialogue

Grandma Moses drew it

Black dialogue

Stevie Wonder seen it

Black dialogue

Many games to steam with

Black dialogue

Jim Brown, ran with

Black dialogue

Huey Newton had a plan with

Black dialogue

Chuck D took a stand for

Black dialogue

KRS is the man with

Black dialogue

The whole world is after

Black dialogue

The whole world is after

Black dialogue

The whole world is after

Black dialogue
