Slave Ships

You can fill the ocean with the tears from a slave ship
Never learned to read so a chain is what they prayed with
Blood is what they paid with
Christ is who they stay with
Yall like to talk alot if it aint freedom then dont say shit

Its a whole nother feeling when you think you made it
They say the game aint got a price until you pay it
When money drugs and alcohol get overrated
Will you be around when your free will gets emancipated
The answer waiting while time heals our generation
Cause we all fucked side ways no penetration
I prey today to see tomorrow no exaggeration
Yall aint got a recollection of the pain im facing
Im running out of patience
Supposed to work together when it feels like we racing
Protect and serve when I serve to protect
400 yrs of struggle and we still aint seen respect
Go and cut the check
I hate to reminisce
But it feels guilty this day and age to be innocent
We sending messages and they give no reply
Yall can give them a by
Yall can let it ride
While our ancestors cry

You can fill the ocean with the tears from a slave ship
Never learned to read so a chain is what they prayed with
Blood is what they paid with
Christ is who they stay with
Yall like to talk alot if it aint freedom then dont say shit

I pray to god that we dont suffer like they did
Bond by chains getting whipped for being brave kids
They know the truth but they seem hesitent to say shit
Mocking us with pull over masks on some ape shit
Just to resemble the same hoods we came with on these slave ships
Showing bere ribs
That some cage shit
We show our gratitude by wearing clothes made from the same cotton they paid with
Everyday shit

You can fill the ocean with the tears from a slave ship
Never learned to read so a chain is what they prayed with
Blood is what they paid with
Christ is who they stay with
Yall like to talk alot if it aint freedom then dont say shit

Just run a couple days in the shoes of your oppressor
Youlll realise that their struggles and problems are alot lesser
Silver spoon feed society that will dress up
Owning human beings would the rest of you like to catch up
Their singing slave songs in hopes of receiving blessings
As history plays on were steadily learning lessons
Black on black crime our ancesters never resting
Yall cant remember pain according to recollection
Cause king had a dream Malcolm had a dream
Colin had a team this is what it seems
Freedoms just a thing people like to sing
They woke in this world just go and dream
If yall want shit to change yall better be willing to work for it
Cause dreaming is where it starts
Its time to wake up and do something about it

You can fill the ocean with the tears from a slave ship
Never learned to read so a chain is what they prayed with
Blood is what they paid with
Christ is who they stay with
