Spirit

You know how the story go, royalty rocking gold
Boats pull up to the shores, priceless but we sold
Least that what we told in school
They don't teach us bout no mores
Hidden colors put me on
Tariq, Umar call that truce
What would Pac and Biggie do
What would Malcom, Martin do
Do the most become a hero to the folks that look like you
Can you handle eyes of uncle sam when they stare at you
Can you handle when they flip the script and turn your pain to news
If Jesus real he was black cuz they killed him thats my proof
Many nights I harm myself doing what youngins do
Pay attention how they do black folks when we stand for some
Can i handle consequences if history repeat itself
Many nights I watch the mirror just to see if I would bail
Malcom living like a dead man is some to comprehend
I wonder if they had ideas, bout how they life would end
I caught the spirit of my ancestors took the torch and ran

I caught the spirit of my ancestors took the torch and ran
I caught the spirit of my ancestors took the torch and ran
I caught the spirit of my ancestors took the torch and ran
Caught the spirit of my, caught the spirit of my
I caught the spirit of my ancestors took the torch and ran
I caught the spirit of my ancestors took the torch and ran
I caught the spirit of my ancestors took the torch and ran
Caught the spirit of my, caught the spirit of my

Cost of freedom wasn't free its still blood on the tab
Gotta Blakkk Jersey for a rebel looking for a cause
Load your mind that be a weapon hop off in a car thats paid for
Play new choppa spray at everything from Santa Claus to Massa
Master self, we master us and then we go and face the world
I might put a black wallstreet on every corner of the world
Rule 1 we buy from us but we gone sale to everyone
2 much black plus 2 much love still equal forever
Shoutout all the master teachers that went and beat the system and gave us all these gems in the name of stuntin'
I might go back in time just to play this for Nat Turner
On my way back to the present get that truce between Big and Tupac
Taking flights to Havana, hope i come across Assata
I be sitting with the elders yeah i need all the knowledge
I be talking to my peers cuz the youth got all the power
Caught the spirit of my ancestors never stopped running

I caught the spirit of my ancestors took the torch and ran
I caught the spirit of my ancestors took the torch and ran
I caught the spirit of my ancestors took the torch and ran
Caught the spirit of my, caught the spirit of my
I caught the spirit of my ancestors took the torch and ran
I caught the spirit of my ancestors took the torch and ran
I caught the spirit of my ancestors took the torch and ran
Caught the spirit of my, caught the spirit of my
