Baldwin
Baldwin ringin' in my head
Tryna push me to the edge
Make sure all my friends are dead
Til I grab a lil Uzi
Pump em all full of lead
Gotdamn the propaganda
Of another angry Black man
Ghosts on my back man
Play the game like pac man
I'm after all I can for them
Flow regal as a kaftan, feet on ottomans
Do this for the kids, make it easier for them
So me and those before me been sacrificin'
Scaled the walls to attack the titans
Shocked 'em all like a crash of lightnin'
Been preparing through the storm for the calm
Pressed pause on the world
To hold it in our palm
Take it to the hole
That's word to LeBron
Goin' for the gold
Til we stand as champions
Make history with a new freedom song
Lately...
Been tired as ever
These colonizers don't seem to know better
Civil Rights movement is in a new era
Think we still niggers, so time to meet Neter
I'm the intersection of God and Truth
So I keep in mind what I'm kickin' to the youth
They the pathway to the next generation
So epigenetic pain will sign its resignation, Today
If I have somethin' to say about it
All the elders, they done prayed about it
Our ancestors made a way up out it
Children of the sun
Gon' bring a new day around it, yeah
Cuz' resilience courses deep in our veins
We gon' wash away tears of joy in the rain
Went and killed our leaders
Cuz you thought that would defeat us
Let me tell ya...
Muthafucka we just gettin warmed up
But I won't let my anger consume me
Your ignorance, it does not move me
Wanna see my rage
like I'm Django unchained
Gettin' even with any Candies & Stephens
Puttin' dirt on my name
Nah, you won't get the satisfaction
Feenin' wit ya hoods out
Time for some action
Last thing they want's a united front
A self governed diasporic landscape
Standing proudly in the face of a system
That thought they could bury us
We the seeds birthing new age warriors
Trust ya pandemonium won't worry us
We gone flourish up
Black Excellence is bubblin'!
I can hear the drums comin' in
I can feel Egun comin' in!
I can feel Egun comin' in!
Ignorance and power? that's lethal
Time to give more power to the people
Time to give more power to the people
Time to give more power to the people
They tryna make us lose our minds
Keep us in a rage all the time
So we stand, protest and we march and we fight
Stand together on them Black frontlines
Ignorance and power? that's lethal
Time to give more power to the people
Time to give more power to the people
Time to give more power to the people
They tryna make us lose our minds
Keep us in a rage all the time
So we stand, protest and we march and we fight
Stand together on them Black frontlines
Tryna push me to the edge
Make sure all my friends are dead
Til I grab a lil Uzi
Pump em all full of lead
