Black Talk
I'm seeing many of my brothers winning now
No DJ Khaled
We've ran quite a few miles
From the days of being a Panther
To these days of Cam Newton
They don't want to see us this far
Only wanna see us shooting
On the court or at each other
Giving heart attacks mothers
Every time we leave the house
Afraid to be another Trayvon Martin or Mike Brown
I refuse to remain Bland
Sandra told me that I can
Demand my rights
I fear no man
See our plan should be targeting black economy
Set up shop
Build up another Black Wall Street
One less hot
So they won't burn it down
They were jealous to see us make it without them
Used to us slaving for them
But I'm not Slavic
Fill up our pockets
Invest in youth
They are the future
Only way to change the present lane we had to get so use to
Teach them to self defend
So pigs won't have to keep abusing you
Give them education
So they will not make a fool of you
Rid our mind of complexion
Either way they're arresting
Us the same way
Making money every time our people
Check in at the state
Prisons
Or federal
I had several brothers do time for the medical
Before legalization
At least for them
Giving us time for the same crime
We been doing for years
To make a living for our families
Now they capitalizing
While we still got brothers in the pin
I'm wondering when will it end
This unfair treatment that we get
It's up to us to make a change
Go head and break those mental chains
Put our brains to work
Get rid of division between us
Even if Willie Lynch isn't true, he's true enough
We'd break each other down
Before we bring each other up
Ain't no use being mad at me
Crab in a barrel mentalities
Won't bring us together, it'll keep us weak
I'm tryna drops gems
So we can work it out
And running our mouths
Will not water the drought
We can work solo
But I'd rather not go without
My people
Do like the Jews and pull together
Like a vice grip
Fight with each other, instead of fight against
It's hard though, cuz lately I've been kinda convinced
That building our own here almost feels like it's impossible
Recently being international
Seems logical
Is it possible for me to leave the soil
I've grown on
Just to open the mind of my people
Here at home
I gotta try
Even if I die
And to my Hispanic brothers and sisters
We gotta unite
We got way more similarities than differences
In Amerikkka
We gotta spread the love
This is black talk, we gotta unite
This is black talk, we gotta unite
This is black talk, we gotta unite
This is black talk, we gotta unite
No DJ Khaled
