Now since my childhood I knew the world wasn't good Cuz back then I was misunderstood Subjugated by a system That's color blind Look into my eyes inyoull See a glimpse of a lost soul On a stroll bump the cash roll Cuz it's all a fold Debt been collected since My first steps making reps Trying to gain street fame But back then I didn't know my name But things changed for the better I'm standing up for my nation Fighting for my past ancestors Reparations
They say we was lazy imagine that? Working Sun up to Sun down With a gat to the bat Or better yet a whip Or a noose I'm knocking Washington's boots loose Prepare for this lyrical ******* I ain't scared no more Made for war talkin reckless Out my maw Raised in hell so I guess I'm an outlaw Raw with my southpaw But it's all good my folks Been ready for battle if they understood We been here along with the indians mexicans they kin To us friend The gringos took all they land Then they got us fighting For our own land? What kind of ******* is that I know my history And it didn't start in slavery It started with monarchy We was pharaohs and queens Back when the scene Was black the dark ages Wasn't blank it was just us ruling the world Reppin' the black nations Still fighting for reparations
They talk about the Sundance Kid Billy the Kid But what about what Nat Turner did? In 1811 Sent many souls to heaven broke the leven Claim we equal that's just a new sequel To keep minds off the ******* **** them preachers in the pulpit How the hell could God love everybody When he abhors the rich trick Games people play say **** to make you feel better But underneath they want you wetter Behind the ears how many tears? The poor gone cry no lies Look me in my eyes In you'll a 400 plus years of scorned mentality I'm tryna uplift my peeps But they it seems they mostly dumb succumb To what the world lays But hey I say **** that bull and form a litigation Come back like King said for reparations
