Sankara
Yeah is them niggas with fake peace and moving boats
Who came into their country looking for slaves and land to own
The history of a black man filled with pain and letting go they culture
Whatever you doing disturbs the master
The brave ones gon' stay in the fields man what a funny tale
Basking in the sun thinking about home and rainy days
If baas see you sweating its more hours with no delay
You hide your pain
Thinking its better to leave than see your grave
The struggles of color ain't never black or white
It's more deeper than rainbow feels Madiba like
Cuts way within its generations of losing lives
Losing legacies cause people wanted a better price
A better place
A better situation than just serving whites
You wanna leave the fields you better off being color blind
Cause paps said its better within you'll even smell the rice
Or serve it
It don't mean you will eat while they go sleep at night
But hey you don't mind so long you left the field
It's way different than sleeping low with dirty sheets
Man they got issues go on negro and bring the peace
What you brought back is struggles of what you used to be
Now you can't relate
Now it ain't the same
The world is on they shoulders you got lighter than Hussein
You barely even painting who got picture what you made
You don't even know the people outside don't fear grave man
It took one to say bs ek sê
We don't talk to you the negro is still they fave
Now your story a bit tricky enemy of your fate
Trust not even food or favors can save your face
The revolution will probably never ever be televised
The spirit will never die
The heroes will never cry
They'll never see injustice sit quiet and let it slide
This moment in your life
You choose pain or you sacrifice
Who came into their country looking for slaves and land to own
The history of a black man filled with pain and letting go they culture
Whatever you doing disturbs the master
The brave ones gon' stay in the fields man what a funny tale
Basking in the sun thinking about home and rainy days
If baas see you sweating its more hours with no delay
You hide your pain
Thinking its better to leave than see your grave
The struggles of color ain't never black or white
It's more deeper than rainbow feels Madiba like
Cuts way within its generations of losing lives
Losing legacies cause people wanted a better price
A better place
A better situation than just serving whites
You wanna leave the fields you better off being color blind
Cause paps said its better within you'll even smell the rice
Or serve it
It don't mean you will eat while they go sleep at night
But hey you don't mind so long you left the field
It's way different than sleeping low with dirty sheets
Man they got issues go on negro and bring the peace
What you brought back is struggles of what you used to be
Now you can't relate
Now it ain't the same
The world is on they shoulders you got lighter than Hussein
You barely even painting who got picture what you made
You don't even know the people outside don't fear grave man
It took one to say bs ek sê
We don't talk to you the negro is still they fave
Now your story a bit tricky enemy of your fate
Trust not even food or favors can save your face
The revolution will probably never ever be televised
The spirit will never die
The heroes will never cry
They'll never see injustice sit quiet and let it slide
This moment in your life
You choose pain or you sacrifice
