lyrics

Verse: My ancestors who paved the way are turning in their graves/ facing my moment of truth as I embrace my final days/ warrior born from slaves who were brought into the fire/ album was needed my people so fed up and tired/ where are we headed? really isn't looking any brighter/ who prepared to be a rebel? marching with freedom fighters/ they robbed us of our history never said sorry/ I'll start a mass movement for my people like I'm Marcus Garvey/ show em the real picture see how bad it all looks/ came across facts you won't see in them history books/ I escaped the plantation that's why they started to hunt me/ I'm starving like them children in them Third World countries/ now get unplugged from the Matrix really see what its coming to/ make a decision like Morpheus with the pills in front of you/ know what it will take for all of us to be free/ this world still racist like the chants at SAE/ and what's still going down its so hard to believe/ without it happening my people still hanging from trees/ that's why I'm really coming with something that's influential/ life's precious like the treasure buried underneath Solomon's Temple/ militant mind I did this here for the people/ they shoot us down then turn around and ask if will be peaceful/ when did it ever get to this you searching for clues/ can't find it cause we blinded by the white supremacy views/ that real music see the many minds that it captures/ like ancestors names given by slave masters/ these dark chapters in the land of the scary giants/ now I see how we are in mental solitary confinement/ whose to blame the next time we see a fool flip?/ if i see Zimmerman then he getting a full clip/ fuck the politics and the people who mad cause I'm dropping this/ won't stop until its grave time and they acknowledge this/ heard they coming to kill me well go head pull the trigga/ no matter what I do you still see me as a NIGGA/ now watch how Ima take that word and easily stomp it/ stands for Never Ignorant Getting Goals Accomplished/ crucify you for speaking truth here we go/ happens to you fast like how they shot Tamir Rice up in the video/ gotta take time to find messages I've shown/ some are trapped forever in the screen of their iphone/ don't come talking like you bout fighting the power/ when you worried about how many likes you get in an hour/ you still think they care about us? man yo, have you been listening?/ pay attention and look what happened up in Flint, Michigan/ ignorance placed on every up and coming generation/ trana survive through this war like its Beasts of No Nation/ opening books of the ancient mind sees the images/ of women and infants who being raped in them villages/ people afraid to do something cause they're terrified/ they planning to have us slaughtered like Rwanda genocide/ it's either that or it's the penitentiary life/ whether you Black, Latino, or poor Whites this ain't right/ they only letting you free you meet the certain criteria/ didn't even mention attacks in Nigeria/ and other places where they drop bombs on children/ they turned us against each other just to keep us from building/ they ask what's been up with me something in the air corrupted me/ how many more people gon die in police custody/ my blood is boiling thinking yo how will we prevail/ what happened to black teen who died in that Kentucky cell?/ will probably never know because we never get love/ and anything about us watch em sweep it under the rug/ the Next Chapter of Life I went above and beyond/ but yall won't understand my message til I'm dead and I'm gone
