Ak (feat. Raheem DeVaughn & Big Rube)

Got a bullet with my name on it

They're trying to blow my back out

They use my block for their target practice

Make me want to scream and shout

Forty days became forty nights

Grandma use to bow her head and pray

Sometimes I feel like Noah on that ark

With my finger on the AK, AK, AK

I'm from the land of the KKK, where the AKs spray

Where your baby mama sell 30 Rock like Tina Fey, eh

Where the cops blind to us dying, like Charles's first name, Ray

Where the slaves were made, graves were filled

Where the trill still build, where the pills will make you feel a little better

But the pain won't go away, where my uncle used to say

"I stopped smoking crack," but then he went back relapsed

My whole family collapsed, it hurts to talk about that

And when I go back, my girl be like, "Baby, what's the rush?"

I'm like, "Last time I checked, who gave a fuck about us?"

Mississippi till I die, they put my body to dust

I wipe my ass with the rebel flag, ain't giving a fuck

I'ma stand for my land, it's the place I'm from

Where your grandmammy was born but you're scared to come

I'ma stand for my land, it's the place I'm from

Where your grandmammy was born but you're scared to come

Got a bullet with my name on it

Bullet with my name on it

Trying to blow my back out

Yeah, yeah

They use my block for their target practice

It amaze me

Make me want to scream and shout

Make me want to scream and shout

Forty days became forty nights

Forty nights, forty days, yeah

Grandma use to bow her head and pray

Lord, sometimes I feel like Noah on that ark

Sometimes I feel like Noah on that ark

With my finger on the AK, AK, AK

I'm from a place that ain't the average rat race, least not for the black race

American dream some of these cats chase

Gotta fact face, I mean, face facts

Some of these white folks hate blacks just for trying to take back

What they hijacked way back, trying to stay black

Put our fortune in the wheels like Sajak

Say black, you know where I stay at?

Marvin Gaye still blasting out my 8-Track

Got a stomach full of turkey necks and pork fat

That's a snack, got play back

In my head, infinite rewind

Children be crying, them pigs, they be lying

See I see more crime than sunshine

Fuck one time, yeah, I said it, "Fuck one time"

Let me say it two times because any justice we do find

Comes in due time, that's why I got me a new nine

My nig, I'm through trying 'cause all my crew dying

While they eatin' steak and croutons and Grey Poupon

These pigs ain't fond of us

Especially when your skin got some pigment

Granny told me to find happiness, but that's just a figment

If-if you stand like a man, then they callin' you ignant

Is it naive on Christmas to call Santa a bigot?

And I pray that you dig it, suppose they bury me?

But my child's grave, I'ma dig it, I'm a slave 'cause they rigged it

I'ma stand like a man, it's the place I'm from

Where your grandpappy was born but you're scared to come

I'ma stand like a man, it's the place I'm from

Where your grandpappy was born but you're scared to come, yeah

Got a bullet with my name on it

Got a bullet with my name on it, yeah

Trying to blow my back out

Tryna blow my back out, blaow

They use my block for their target practice

I don't know why

Make me want to scream and shout

Wanna see forty days became forty nights, my

Forty days became forty nights

Grandma use to bow her head and pray

Sometimes I feel like Noah on that ark

With my finger on the AK, AK

With my hand on my AK, AK, AK

Got a bullet with my name on it

Bullet with my name on it

Trying to blow my back out

Yeah, tryna blow my back out

They use my block for their target practice

Kill my people for target practice

Make me want to scream and shout

Oh, make me want to scream and shout

Forty days became forty nights

Forty days and forty nights

Grandma use to bow her head and pray

Grandma bowed her head and prayed

Sometimes I feel like Noah on that ark

Sometimes I feel like Noah

With my finger on the AK, AK, AK

AK, AK

I'm from a place where they hung us from peach trees and dogwoods

Now we hang on streets paved with enslaved souls still saying, "It's all good"

The dirt is red and turned muddy from sweat, tears and blood

Of our great great grandparents, so respect been earned for it

You best show it, 'cause those who don't are just mocking the very core

Of what our people stood, sat in, marched, laid down and died for

Laid down their lives for, all of us, so let's discuss what we should feel pride for

When the last time you threatened the life of a white man?

But look how quick we tell a brother we'll murk him right where he stand

Can't stand for the bullshit if I'm breathing a little bit

My AK with the full clip is the staff and I'm Moses

Parting the mind's ocean with a prose swarm like locust

Erupt from the past mantle with a flow passed to dismantle

The damage that's been done 'fore a **** was even born

So whether the buildings are real tall or the fields are real wide

The South's my real home so I'm speaking from real pride

As I stand, 'cause I'm a man and this is the place I'm from

Our people suffered in this land and now ya'll scared to come
