Yeah Okay

I'm not conceited, I'm just convinced
I'm so modest, I can admit my own fault
And my only fault is I don't realize how great I really am

Riding to the rhythm, pressure on the pistons
Ain't no slipping on my pimpin', boy that ain't nothing different
Four wheeling through the town with a bad chick
Celebrating all the times we didn't have shit
Baby live it up, baby lift your cup
Yeah we're doing it, we're young and we don't give a fuck
Argumentative, can't calm our restlessness
We're rebellious, that's why I put in on my penmanship
It's like butter on the bread, hitting suckers in the head
People love me 'cause I'm real, this is something you can feel
And I'm respected, not because of the something that I said
But all, on the little something that I did
Cut from my own cloth, the fabric of my being
I'm rapping for a reason, feel the passion when I speak it
This the life! They attracted to the feeling
But we're young coloured males, they try to pack us in the precincts
Beat up, kicked down, oppressed have found their author
Left down in the gutter, death around the corner
This year, make sure shit's clear
We've been waiting for our time, guess what? It's here

We declare our right on this earth
To be a human being
In this day, which we intend to bring into existence, by any means necessary

Twisted facts from aristocrats and diplomats
Pitch and catch false truths for the youth, give 'em that
The invisible hand
The execution of originality, evolution of cynical man
Political gain, make dollars, make sense
The revolution needs to start with a pivotal plan
Make problems, take stands, there's physical pain
Airing dirty laundry out, I'm ringing out stains
My time coming, high tide coming
This shit automatic like guns in a drive by sonny
Hands high, for this torch they've given me
For this flow, that's formulated like an orchestrated symphony
And I'm good, need to make this money
I pay with mind first, so no one can take that from me
The only thing that I fear is just fear itself
Sport a heart on my sleeve, damn it, I wear it well
Take the system down one by one, brick by brick
Look at us now, never thought it would get to this
And fuck the police, majority rules
There's more of us then them, so the authority's you, so do you

We pledge ourselves to liberate all our people
From the continued bondage of poverty
Deprivation, suffering, gender and other discrimination
We must therefore act together, as a united people
For a birth of a new world
