Letras
[Verse 1]
I would like to say that this gentlemen and all other people who are not blessed with melanin at this point in time
To understand that what has happened in our history is that you have been misinformed
As much as we have been misinformed
Much of the information that is brought forth, not only Dr. Muhammad
But other areas, other scholars are not available to you, as the sister said, in your curriculums
That you had for four-hundred years when you did not allow us to read and write and was being hidden
Whether you, sir, personally did that or not, it was a legacy that was passed on to you
And I end by saying the Holocaust is simply the greatest atrocity on film
Ours was not filmed
[Verse 2]
No apology, equality
Youth is future, let's move forward
Healthy mentality, helps sanity
Melting Pot, help us up, vote or not
Facts half backwards and inaccurate
Tell folks no backin' up, track it up
Good over evil, deceitful
Morals, principles, it's simple son
[Verse 3]
What will it take to get my peoples to connect together?
You know it's black excellence, to be complete together
Picture a photograph of black folks lit together
In high definition, and how I would never
Turn my back on the block, I got the block on my back
Like James Brown, boy, I'm proud to be black
To all my sisters, (Mother Earth has birthed us, lurchers, it hurts us, first, less heard this)
To all my sisters, ain't no knocking you back
Politicans politickin' with a gown and a cap
The house got flavor and I like it like that
Black girl power, yeah I'm rocking with that
Doors is getting kicked down, statues is getting ripped down
Presidents meeting over seas, just to have a sit down
They tryna keep us from runnin' up
I'd never tell you to get down, it's all about coming up
[Verse 4]
No apology, equality
Youth is future, let's move forward
Healthy mentality, helps sanity
Melting Pot, help us up, vote or not
Facts half backwards and inaccurate
Tell folks no backin' up, track it up
Good over evil, deceitful
Morals, principles, it's simple son
[Verse 5]
(So what do you say?)
[Verse 6]
The foundation was laid, ya'll nation was made
Off our ancestors back, back, back in the days
400 years ago, ya'll made us slaves
And you can hear it in the spirit coming deep from the graves
Life is a maze
Smoke so much dope, you in a daze
But you ain't trippin', you gettin' paid
But who do you praise, but anyway
[Verse 7]
I read a history book but I ain't learn nothing, dawg
So I read the Bible then the holy Quran
Went to Jamaica to acquire my knowledge
Sat with some Rastas till my game got polished
The gangbang extreme with malice
Trees and degrees like I'm trained for college
[Verse 8]
Yeah, they tryna keep us from runnin' up
I'd never tell you to get down, it's all about coming up
[Verse 9]
No apology, equality
Youth is future, let's move forward
Healthy mentality, helps sanity
Melting Pot, help us up, vote or not
Facts half backwards and inaccurate
Tell folks no backin' up, track it up
Good over evil, deceitful
Morals, principles, it's simple son
[Verse 10]
No apology, equality
Youth is future, let's move forward
Healthy mentality help sanity
Melting Pot, help us up, vote or not
Facts half backwards and inaccurate
Tell folks no backin' up, track it up
Good over evil, deceitful
Morals, principles, it's simple son
