The Truth
You give em ya life... they give you back death
Open ya eyes, while it's some of it left
Thinkin you free. But they guidin your steps
My life is my own, till my very last breath
Thinking you grown still asking permission
Clocked in a job with the social assistance
Sistas wont listen, my brothas stay dissin
Til we made whole, im a man on a mission
Play ya position
That's what ya told
Till 30 years old
An you see what they sold
We made it whole
Off what they stole
Dis knowledge you know
But not ready to go?
Ready, set, go, I'm ready ta start
They programmed ya mind, but they cant touch ya heart
Hardly an army, I'm ready ta march
Its all of tha Marley's, igniting my spark
No revolution, just evolution
We need a solution, to mental pollution
No reparations an no restitution
Just them makin money off our institutions
Just movement forward, I'm a bull headed taurus
I'm lookin to Ra, He's hung up in Horus
My sun is my center the doorway is BORUS
If we not a chorus then who's running for us
If we not United no way we can fight it
We may not have wronged it, but we can still right it
Part of my destiny, stars have aligned it
All of my words metaphysically minded
But dont mind me, cuz our lifes so good
Cuz Our families dont like us, and our neighbors so hood
Your best friends plottin, but you think it's all good
Our whole mindset, "I wish a nigga would"
Desegregation across the nation
Just made more separation from good education
Got us zoned off and stationed
On a new plantation
Just some slaves plugged in
To a new simulation
You going to a church on its 3rd generation
The master I mean pastor has no hesitation
Of taking all your money while You praying and praisin
Now da cash walkin out the neighborhood it was made in
He knew you was fools you was on white jesus
Jesus, how much you gon give these preachas
You give dem more then we do our teachas
To teach us how they broke us down and beat us
Like our lineage aint deep as the ethers
See for ya self you dont need to believe us
Believe us, we the main ones that need us
Now we can change history or let it repeat us
Open ya eyes, while it's some of it left
Thinkin you free. But they guidin your steps
My life is my own, till my very last breath
Thinking you grown still asking permission
Clocked in a job with the social assistance
Sistas wont listen, my brothas stay dissin
Til we made whole, im a man on a mission
Play ya position
That's what ya told
Till 30 years old
An you see what they sold

Off what they stole

But not ready to go?
Ready, set, go, I'm ready ta start
They programmed ya mind, but they cant touch ya heart
Hardly an army, I'm ready ta march
