Mlk (1968)

What is this?
(Taken hostage
Brains are washing
Hatred bled the nation
To make some profits)
Had to get the mind right
(All this for the nation
The nation)
Just waking up from this big ass daze
(Making profits)

Aye!
Yeah

Do you remember MLK?
Who gone say?
From pacifism to killing each other
Whoa, it's important to say it
I still gotta wonder
Do you remember MLK?
But you love them streets
Till you want that beef
Finna go extinct
When you tuck that heat
Do you love them streets, still?
No one knows what you go through
No one knows what you go through
I don't know what you go through
I don't know what you go through
Do you know what's got you blue?
Do you know what you've been through
Do you know what you've been through
Do you?
Yeah, do you?
Do you remember MLK?

Ahh, man of course you don't
Now only dealers and killers are the important roles
Backtracking from the past now we got more to go
Ancestors watching astonished like we some foreign folk
Why stop now when you think you in the lead?
Last time a body dropped you ain't even feel a thing, in a dream
And it's deep down, right here where the story lies
All these nice cars but I'm poor inside
Foreign rides
No love, no kindness glorified
Like praise!
Praise to delusions
Praise to us losing the focused sight
Cold divide, just little 'ol me getting more for mine
Wait, no way, don't say?
We supposed to rise
Blowing up, these days, free slaves
What you think? These days things great?

Do you remember MLK?
Who gone say?
From pacifism to killing each other
Whoa, it's important to say it
I still gotta wonder
Do you remember MLK?
But you love them streets
Till you want that beef
Finna go extinct
When you tuck that heat
Do you love them streets, still?
No one knows what you go through
No one knows what you go through
I don't know what you go through
I don't know what you go through
Do you know what's got you blue?
Do you know what you've been through
Do you know what you've been through
Do you?
Yeah, do you?
Do you remember-

Taken hostage
Graven rotten
Brains are washing
Hatred bled the nation to make some profits
Making progress
White man to convert us and revise for the great adoption
So long
I forget my roots
Man it's been so long since I lived my truth
Man it's been so long I forget my truths
Got me putting up a front just to get like you
Don't shoot
I'll behave stay down in this cage and carry on
Organized war so I stayed alarmed
Money over life, you made it all
Abused me enough I just play along, yeah
It's too deep to escape at all
Gutted out, we evolved in the light of the whites
Step country we're just like you
Murder everything in sight

Do you remember MLK?
1968
You had to kill him, he lifted the brothas
Nah, it's important to say it
I still gotta wonder
Do you remember MLK?
Yeah you love them streets
To keep us discrete
Finna go extinct
So you want that beef
You just love them streets filled
No one knows what you go through
No one knows what you go through
I don't know what you go through
I don't know what you go through
Do you know what's got you blue?
Do you know what you've been through
Do you know what you've been through
Do you?
Yeah, do you?
Do you remember MLK?
