"Peep the wise words quoted from a kid wit no siblings Parentals are advised to gather up your misgivings 'Cause love ain't all brotherly Sisterhoods are Coventry The shelter I was given isn't close enough to cover me Wade in the water, LeBron on foreign lands Got a gun inside my van, I'm just trying to understand It was all so simple 'bout a week ago' The solid foundation for a new Black nation is in our hands Nobody telling us we're good enough to be here (I was) born on the day that the towers fell, are we clear? These Cross Colours don't run, we overcome Deferred dreamchasers, I see you my Native Sons Don't ever get it twisted, this system can drag you down To positions where your only choice is forfeit your crown Or die there on the battlefield an unknown soldier Our purple hearts broken, our tears heavy as boulders Our justice passed over, our holocaust denied That promissary note we were given was falsified These babyboomers tried to neutralize our fucking minds Said "we shall forget" to the struggle they left behind No. We know too many have died for Black pride So why not come together for another college try?

My capital venture is fighting with the militia No photo bombs, we bear arms in bigger pictures Smell the foul fragrance, this bloodthirsty nation You cannot break us 'cause you didn't fucking make us Cry tears of joy when my homie had a boy Now that 14 years have passed, my homies up in his ass because his math grade dropped to a D.. An NFL wide receiver's what he's trying to be But in our corner of the Bible belt, church is foundation Sports and other fantasies are rare conversations Sorry my brother, I know you can run fast, but you considered last, so pay attention in class And every lie you hear, turn a deaf ear to it Your parents when thru it so we know that you can do it But please, how do we feed these seeds with special needs? No roots so they can't proceed What a para-bull durham Race unity is in a glass house We dont wanna talk about it til we run these neighbors out This homegrown heresy doesn't stop with Congress Fathers of the year didn't raise us, they spawned us in water so polluted it left our skin jaundiced Better ante up quick, 'cause the final hour's upon us...
