Bloodlines
Just cause you freed the slaves don't mean they really free
You saying this your country
What that really mean?
You spilled the blood of natives for your motherland
So why is it a problem when I spill the tea?
Created generational wealth for you and your family
While you made it difficult for our colors to feed their families now
Your kids don't make money themselves
They get the hand me downs
Our parents gotta struggle for wealth
How we gon' pass it down?
They placed all that oppression in the system
So the shackles look different
Slavery wasn't destroyed
It's now business
If you still keeping silent you complicit
Violence not the answer so what is then?
When most of that violence a white man did it their savage ways been consistent
Us causing riots vs genocide that's the difference
This is not hate
This historical facts and wisdom
This is not hate
This equality for my brethren
Divine intervention
Instead of spending millions on change
They spend billions on weapons
Then run up in your city like they own it
Blow your cities kill your families and your best friends
And if you rise against them you a dead man
Why is fighting for equal rights such a problem?
Slavery built your business and lined your pockets
Then lined your kids kids pockets
That lined their kids kids pockets
See they created a system in which they profit
You saying this your country
What that really mean?
You spilled the blood of natives for your motherland
So why is it a problem when I spill the tea?
Created generational wealth for you and your family
While you made it difficult for our colors to feed their families now
Your kids don't make money themselves
They get the hand me downs
Our parents gotta struggle for wealth
How we gon' pass it down?
They placed all that oppression in the system
So the shackles look different
Slavery wasn't destroyed
It's now business
If you still keeping silent you complicit
Violence not the answer so what is then?
When most of that violence a white man did it their savage ways been consistent
Us causing riots vs genocide that's the difference
This is not hate
This historical facts and wisdom
This is not hate
This equality for my brethren
Divine intervention
Instead of spending millions on change
They spend billions on weapons
Then run up in your city like they own it
Blow your cities kill your families and your best friends
And if you rise against them you a dead man
Why is fighting for equal rights such a problem?
Slavery built your business and lined your pockets
Then lined your kids kids pockets
That lined their kids kids pockets
See they created a system in which they profit
