Bloodline

I have a dream
That one day
This nation will rise up
Live out the true meaning of it's creed
We hold these truths to be self evident
That all men are created equal

Algeria needs to hear this
Egypt they need to hear this
Ethiopia and Kenya they need to hear this
Ghana needs to hear this
Nigeria needs to hear this
Blood of my ancestors
That's the reason I'm fearless
Lydia needs to hear this
Liberia needs to hear this
Sudan to Sierra Leone they need to hear this
Liberation of a man that was destined for nothing
You fall for anything if you ain't standing for something

Loyal to the bloodline
I will never sidestep
Bite like a pit-bull
Trained like a war vet
Eyes like microscopes
Brain like a vortex
Blood, sweat and tears I'm
Exposed like I'm undressed
Looking for the success
Resurrect the lost hope
Deception on the rise it's
False like a horoscope
Gotta use wisdom
Find what the Lord spoke
Different cultures with
Different colors like Kalidascopes
Fist in the air and I scream black power
That don't mean Im a racist
That just means that I'm proud of
All my ancestors that refused to be a bunch of cowards
So they fought against oppression that expression wasn't honored
Left their blood in the street that's a problem
When the man that's in the right gets treated like he comes from Sodom
So I solemnly
Swear to dig until I reach the bottom
Might not live to see revival but I'm trying to get it started

I embody Samuel Morris
I embody Frederick Douglass
I embody Bonhoeffer
I embody Ms Tubman
I embody anybody that's for liberty and justice
I embody all the joy
I embody all the suffering

Israeli's they need to hear this
Germany needs to hear this
Pakistan and Saudi Arabia needs to hear this
Dominican Republic and Haiti they need to hear this
Royalty in my blood
That's the reason I'm fearless
Syria needs to hear this
China they need to hear this
Mexico, Japan and India they need to to hear this
Liberation of a man that was destined for nothing
You fall for anything if you ain't standing for something

Son of the living God
Bro of the risen KIng
Flow like snowmelt that goes to the river streams
Speak truth to power
Gold towers and atom bombs
Won't stop judgement from falling upon Babylon
Naw, I make it clear as I can
My pigment don't make me an inferior man
Miss America, needs a new interior plan
'Cause' the writings on the wall by a superior hand
Understand
They praise money and a genetic code
It's so imperfect
They even trying to edit those
Tell the poor man you need to make gold
Sell him credit and keep him in debted till they sell their soul
Naw, I don't agree with the logic
The majority of minority people impoverished
Women fighting for their life
Laws keeping them hostage
And another school shooting
Kids reaping the violence

I sympathize with Tulalip
Empathize with the Lummi
All the brown skinned faces and the places in our country
Past been narrated by the players with the money
Since they can't eradicate us
They just paint us looking ugly

Los Angeles needs to hear this
Oakland they need to hear this
Chicago and New York City they need to hear this
Boston, New Jersey and Dallas they need to hear this
Blood of the risen King
That's the reason I'm fearless
Atlant they need to hear this
Cleveland they need to hear this
Houston and back to Detroit they need to hear this
Liberation of a man that was destined for nothing
You get one shot at life I hope it's counting for something

Blood of the risen King
That's the reason I'm fearless

You fall for anything if you ain't standing for something

Blood of the risen King
Blood of the risen King

You get one shot at life I hope it's counting for something
