Pharaohs Dream (1st Dimension)
When it comes to dreams
The first thing we think
Is Martin Luther King
And by any means
We think about Malcolm
When we think of queens
Well, do we think about them
Think about a pharaoh
You don't about a she
You think about a he 'cause you don't think that she can be
And this is just one way that
History repeats like a metronome
Study the rhythm of the times
It's inevitable
A Black woman will be head of the O
V-A-L Office
Shirley Chisholm was the first
Not the last, that's a promise
A feminine Messiah like Isis
Sounds two/too fishy like Pisces
Or maybe it's official as a Spike Lee
Joint, he said She Gotta Have it
Black girl magic
Circa since the 90's when they used
To be Snappin
Like (Snaps) and shit would just happen
Black woman you are powerful
Black woman is divine
Black woman ruled Khemet
That was in another time
Black woman was a pharaoh
Black woman was a pharaoh
What if history repeats
I wonder how society would be
Circa since Egypt
Before the Cleopatras
Cause they were Macedonian or Roman, not African
Imagine if
I campaigned to make Egypt
Black again
Put it on a hat and then fashion it
Maybe my implication
Would be ass backwards
Like reverse discrimination
I'm remembering the greatness
Hieroglyphically picturing Hatshepsut
The first female pharaoh in 15th century BCE
If we define Black beauty, Black woman is the source
And any synonyms
Black woman's a thesaurus
Google Black Beauty
You'll probably see a horse
If we say Black Jesus do we really
Mean Horus
I'm talking bout sun worship
Distorted by Phoenicians and Europeans
If you don't see it, you're a peon
Or maybe I am, 'cause
It's topic I don't speak on
Black woman you are powerful
Black woman is divine
Black woman ruled Khemet
That was in another time
Black woman was a pharaoh
Black woman was a pharaoh
What if history repeats?
I wonder how society would be
Black history is beyond
And before the slave trade
Maybe I could trade in my
Slave name the same way
Dan Aykrod and Eddie Murphy Traded place
I trade stock, but I won't trade races
Even though sometimes
It's Black folks
That'll count you out
Like the Black Vote
It's a pharaoh's dream
So I'm half-woke
Jesus was the White hope
Malcolm was the Black hope
Cleanse away my sins
Using Black Soap
That's a lotta Black bars that
I'm cleansing with
Black tits get more support
Than Black businesses
Maybe we can change our priorities
If not a few of them
At least the majority
In pharaoh's dream
Black woman is supreme
By every means protect her
And let her lead
Don't let another person
Tell you different
Some of the best leaders are born Black women
The first thing we think
Is Martin Luther King
And by any means
We think about Malcolm
When we think of queens
Well, do we think about them
Think about a pharaoh
You don't about a she
You think about a he 'cause you don't think that she can be
