I come from the descendants of critical listeners Visions imprinted in us, lyrics that live within us Tales of turmoil, trials and victories They mock yet mimmick us, I guess that's history Polygynous DNA but look how they limit us Restricted our digits wishing that they could get rid of us They used eugenics but then they figured ain't quick enough Bullets don't no matter who pull it, long as we can't get up But we ain't giving up, and for that they give it up Like gimme all that you got in your pocket, we stick ya up Cuz who gonna be for us, if we ain't We for Us When lady justice is blind and she ain't seeing us When every tribe got pride yet we reside In a land that we ain't ask to arrive in, so we side with Our homeland but just like nomads with no true home then They compare us to gorillas, this more like guerilla warfare Product of a social construct Black ain't a race So we get disqualified whenever we outpace em Every time we even the odds, they be like reset Bomb your Black Wall Street, all over a weekend They gave us lemons but when we made lemonade They put pork on our fork and took the lemons away Then they say, "you aint from here", what year did you come here Well aware when I stare in the mirror it's double consciousness
