To My Fellow Slaves
We be gettin' blind
Just to get a degree
'Cause they say, essays are the way to succeed
But it ain't for everybody
Academically speakin' exceedin' my limits is when I start
To feel what I'm feelin'
Up in the brain
My thoughts ain't the same
I'm tryna
Ride with it got me caught in flames
I'm stuck in shame
Ain't no other way around it
I can't get rid of my thoughts
So I just write 'em in my flows
All that people see is below
But really
I don't show, I'm just keepin' it low
Up in the memory
No one's there but me
'Cause nobody cares if I'm dyin' mentally
Would you ride with me
Would you fly with me
Would you die for me
Yeah
To my fellow slaves
No I won't behave
Until we're all free
Survivin' the fire I see the light so narrow
My eyes widen, my visions brighten
Been fightin' my battles
But it doesn't seem like enough
Sometimes it gets real rough
Been livin' a life full of lies
Now it gets real tough
I've never witnessed peace
I wonder would it feel like victory
'Cause everybody too weak to see
Too weak to change
Too weak to accept
Then results in rage
And now we're all encaged
We're all stuck in the violence
My ears hear loud
Never heard the silence
The sirens keep ringing
Just close the doors
Too much happenin' around
No one cares no more
Oh let the kids explore
Give 'em a chance leave 'em something behind
Grow a heart, leave 'em out of our crimes
Never the less all I wish for the prime
Is that I hope their world
Won't be worse than mine
Would you ride with me
Would you fly with me
Would you die for me
Yeah
To my fellow slaves
No I won't behave
Until we're all free
Just to get a degree
'Cause they say, essays are the way to succeed
But it ain't for everybody
Academically speakin' exceedin' my limits is when I start
To feel what I'm feelin'
Up in the brain
My thoughts ain't the same

I'm stuck in shame
Ain't no other way around it
