I'm Not Crazy (First Contact)

Twenty-one pounds, twenty-one pounds
Twenty-one pounds, twenty-one pounds
Yeah (twenty-one pounds)

So, when Columbus got here
He got off the boat and he said to the first people he saw
"Who are you?"
And the first people he saw said, "We're human beings"

They say the world keep turnin', California's burnin'
Who reignited the thirst for knowledge over the learnin'?
Oh, wise and powerful, black scholar holdin' a sermon
The God is proud of you with your sword raised in a turban

Columbus said, "Oh, Indians"

The return of the prodigal sire accountable
For makin' remarks, remarkable
I hear some artists withdrew and I was responsible
A vessel partial for sendin' that holy gospel through

Columbus is every descendant of the tribe of Europe that came
This is a mentality that came, the "Columbus Mentality" we name it
But in about discovering this it's
You know, it's like almost like this is when the virus got here

We go to war when peaceful solution's impossible
A mountain is not to be confused with an obstacle

Anyway, when Columbus got here
And he didn't know what it meant to be a human being

Easy, stop fucking resisting
Back up, back up
I'm not moving, I'm not moving
What the fuck? I'm standing right here
I'm not moving, I'm just standing still
Back up, back up

Love, patience, brotherhood and unity
We try and we try and we try, if they become a threat...
