Revival of a revolutionary spirit What I represent? Dem single mother ******* children Uneducated, unmotivated, and poverty stricken Moma pay da rent, da car note, den broke, da game sumtm' slick So I'm young BLACK and angry, real thug-life ***** Infested communities of drugs and guns thats brought in by the government So before I move a pack o pull a trigga just tryna win I'm already guilty, 'until proven innocent' Ain't dat a ***** The days as slaves and Jim Crow's segregated ways have passed, Dey sayin' But I only see it disguised now as a 'color blind' racial caste system Crooked politicians and sellouts oppressing dey own kin In the 'pursuit of happiness' They're privatising prisons for capital Mass incarceration How could another life be property? With a loss of civil rights, even after release Take it ha you wona I'm anti-colonialism Everywhere the 'Albino' go he **** the land and oppress the people
