Ghost of Da Plantation
Hey yea yea
Youths under new genocide we still alive
Check me out
Ghost of the plantation I'm haunted by segregation
They said it was emancipation turned out to be enslavement
Suffer from aggravation and trauma for generations
Passed down for ages no wonder I grew up racist
No wonder I grew up hated in places
We never made it outside of these situations
Chains and mini cages from trees they had us hanging
This feeling I can't explain it
They gave us misinformation the ghost of the plantation
What is slavery something they made me be
Maybe a good for nothing little nigga that hate to read
Uneducated we living unpleasantly
See this was after the reconstruction
They captured us leave us stuck with the
Master to keep us running from actually seeking something
Ancestry lost deputies talk in subliminals
Whenever we fought they killed us off that's the ritual
Genocide treating us all like some criminals
Heard about George Floyd that could've been your boy
That could've been your son or daughter
Blood flows in water after a execution style of murder
Before the mayflower civilization was perfect
Slave trade was Atlantic rappers sign to Atlantic
They decide on a million few payments get granted
First single's a dud then ya album is trash
Now you stuck on the shelf running after ya past
What should could have now ya skin is branded
Can't go anywhere cause once you do you stranded
Picture this a women getting beat while she pregnant
But the baby in her stomach isn't dead yet
Years go by his become grown as he heals from trauma
While he still picking cotton he can feel his mama/
From the lower class to the hills in Ghana/
Check me out
Ghost of the plantation i'm haunted by segregation
They said it was emancipation turned out to be enslavement
Suffer from aggravation and trauma for generations
Passed down for ages No wonder I grew up racist
No wonder I grew up hated in places we never made it
Outside of these situations chains and many cages
From trees they had us hanging this feeling I can't explain it
They gave us misinformation the ghost of the plantation
Youths under new genocide we still alive
Check me out
