Great Conversation
I had a talk with the greatest
They wanna talk about the latest in our culture
And the views of those who died to help us make it
I didn't leave a legacy
To let these niggas step on me
They don't live for nothing that I lived for
Yet they rep on me
They use our name in vain
Like they do the Lords
How y'all so separate when we fought to get on one accord
So before you think you made it
Please do me this one favor
For a minute or two just take it
Have a convo with the greatest
Nah I've never been the type
To believe in speaking to dead
But I had a concept full of depth that ran through my head
I've made it my mission to stick my neck out for my people
But even if you die for them
Look how them negroes treat you
Was stressed out on my living, drunk stretched out in my kitchen
An ex dealing pimp had came to me, in a vision
He said his name was brother Malcolm
He hoped for another outcome
Everytime he thinks we reached our lowest
We leave him outdone
"They put my name in they raps
They give me fame dont want that
Just like minded Africans living off the pride of our past"
But we just lie and we laugh
And then complain that the grasp
Of our dreams is inconceivable though they lie in our laps
"You take the money and economical power of youth
And never save it just play with it
On some popular shoes
Associate my name with the fact, that I was militant
But then forget that for intelligence I was belligerent"
I had a talk with the greatest
They wanna talk about the latest in our culture
And the views of those who died to help us make it
I didn't leave a legacy
To let these niggas step on me
They don't live for nothing that I lived for, yet they rep on me
They use our name in vain like they do the Lords
How y'all so separate when we fought to get on one accord
So before you think you made it
Please do me this one favor
For a minute or two just take it
Have a convo with the greatest
Many sleepless nights before marches
But I said I had a dream
But on the blocks named after me, most them youngins got a beam
From triple to red dots
From nickels to fed watch
That's small time to big time
From in ya sock to bread spots
We grow in our knowledge of evil like college for needles
Producing robbers and fienders but no, doctors or leaders
Just coppin lean by the liters
Guest appearance by some pills for a feature
While children in the street screaming we need ya
Old men are for wisdom
Young men are for war
We're losing both how we gon keep up with the plan from before
I'm MLK, and on my day, across the country there's parades
Where my sisters dress like thots and homies hope they don't get sprayed
I even seen em take my face and promote it on flyers
Ask me truthfully you think that's my desire?
I just wanted equal peace, to sustain the evil beast
We marched against the whites that killed us but y'all do it equally
I had a talk with the greatest
They wanna talk about the latest in our culture
And the views of those who died to help us make it
I didn't leave a legacy
To let these niggas step on me
They don't live for nothing that I lived for
Yet they rep on me
They use our name in vain
Like they do the Lords
How y'all so separate when we fought to get on one accord
So before you think you made it
Please do me this one favor
For a minute or two just take it
Have a convo with the greatest
What's my name what's my name you little bastard?
I evolved to a god from before no longer Cassius
I flowed like a butterfly
Then I stung like a bee
Then I changed my name to resemble more of my ancestry
I hear all these names that they com-paring
But I ain't sit around I made history, let me know when you done staring
The NFL boycott should've never been placed in one mans, one hand
Strength in numbers how you get things done fam
This problem should've never reached Jay z or rap artist
You niggas lift all them weights, your shoulders look the broadest
You should've took all that hate with Kaepernick
But let them slave masters capture him
And ya movement straight up flattened it
Yall making millions I was making statements
In my prime I missed years yall scared to miss a payment
As a champ I took a loss and a layoff
The Clippers should've never played that game fuck the playoffs
And Donald Sterling
They wanna talk about the latest in our culture
And the views of those who died to help us make it
I didn't leave a legacy
To let these niggas step on me
They don't live for nothing that I lived for
Yet they rep on me
They use our name in vain
Like they do the Lords
How y'all so separate when we fought to get on one accord
