Everything
You gotta know the enemy just as well as your self
Operating oblivious would be bad for your health
Black wealth they tell us we should put it back on the shelf
Such a poisonous concept to American stealth
Put us all in a contest where we battle ourself
Crabs in a barrel scraping up to the top to get that last breath
Self destruction as described by KRS
Not realizing unity our best asset
He shot his brother for blocks he didn't own
Had a Discrepancy over rocks that was thrown
Into the very ghetto he forced to call his home
By the same villainous institution that did it to em
So overt its covert
They thinkin two less black lives it won't hurt
One gone off the planet one in the can
They vilify to crucify the asiatic man
All part of white supremacy premeditated plan
They want us all locked up or on another land
That's what trump meant when he was talking to his fans
Talkin bout make America great again
The beast is real and the fight is more evident than ever
And the hypocrisy is more prevalent than ever
It's gon take a wish and a prayer and each other
For us to even have a chance to get this shit together
The strength is in the numbers
We tryna fund a movement while ballin on a budget
We tryna stop the violence constantly killing our cousins
We tryna not to let our feelings spill over in public
We striving to uplift our brothers and sisters
He ain't heavy that's what I was taught
So I put the people on my back like a had a ark
No it ain't easy that's a fact gotta play your part but
Team work make the dream work better than you thought
Ignore what you was taught by the oppressor
The whole curriculum was built to make you feel lesser
To make you think your people was nothing and they was better
That's why we gotta keep this system under real pressure
Cause it was never their intent to give us anything
So we gotta stay vigilant for what the weather brings
Stay dangerous be prepared to the metal sing
To get exactly what we coming for: EVERYTHING
Operating oblivious would be bad for your health
Black wealth they tell us we should put it back on the shelf
Such a poisonous concept to American stealth
Put us all in a contest where we battle ourself
Crabs in a barrel scraping up to the top to get that last breath
Self destruction as described by KRS
