Identity

A king walk strait up
A coward a slouch
Dead man get carried away
So i pray we give one for the treble
And two for the bass
Black people let's be on our way
What i say
A king walk strait up
A coward a slouch
Dead man get carried away
So i pray we give one for the treble
And two for the bass
Black people put it all in they face

Poker face on reshuffle the deck over
And separate all the kings from the jokers
Black on black crime we killing our own soldiers
Man its time to wake up and smell the folgers
Can't believe what they told ya
Can't believe what they taught ya
Even Abraham Lincoln sold black people in auctions
Now who really freed us
Mistreat us but they really need us
Black dollars keep a cracker cheesing
Jack season so we packing pieces
Barely eating but them packs will feed us
Black business what we lacking people
They say god will bless the child that got his own
So get on, and leave it for your child when you gone
That's called a legacy
And ill forever be
A representative of change
They thought we'd never see
Understand black man you are royalty
See the value in yourself this for all th kings
Now take a long look in the mirror
And tell the truth about what you see
Is you a coward or a king

A king walk strait up
A coward a slouch
Dead man get carried away
So i pray we give one for the treble
And two for the bass
Black people lets be on our way
What i say
A king walk strait up
A coward a slouch
Dead man get carried away
So i pray we give one for the treble
And two for the bass
Black people put it all in they face

Stop telling all these lies to me
We was made to be better
So tell me why we still fighting for equality
We killers cuz we gotta be
Drug dealers cuz we gotta eat
The only option to survive the streets
Major poverty
Project property
Too blind to see that we control the economy
Too blind to see that we control the hypocrisy
Given to us in this democracy
Hold on stop the beat
They killed martin just for moving with his movement
They killed Malcolm simply cuz they couldnt move em
Killed kennedy cuz he wanted to help Lumumba
Liberate the congo from the European union
This information they don't give you in the music
This information they don't give you in the schooling
We hold the power but we don't know how to use it
Niggas purposely coon'n got a generation ruined
Now take another look in the mirror
And be completley honest about what you see
Is you a coward or a king

A king walk strait up
A coward a slouch
Dead man get carried away
So i pray we give one for the treble
And two for the bass
Black people lets be on our way
What i say
A king walk strait up
A coward a slouch
Dead man get carried away
So i pray we give one for the treble
And two for the bass
Black people put it all in they face

Identity crisis, dark and light skinned
Choose to be slaves to the white man for a life span
What we need is unity put together the right plan
And a gun as tall as a night stand
That's right and, it kills me when the kings
Fo get on that coward shit, Powerless
You walk with a slouch and proud of it
Now you wearing all these feminime clothes
Look how it fit
Got you looking like a thot ass broad without the tits
They tricked you out ya greatness
Told you you were a slave
We had twenty seven dynasties
They was living in caves
Don't let this message fall on death ears today
Dead man get carried away
Straight to the grave
This a public service announcement
For the people
My people
The chosen people
Know your identity
