Yeah You gotta know where you come from You see The tree bears the fruit So you need to know your roots crown Ancestors ancestors mixed with slave and oppressor say they name they present you with their blessings and protection Watching close from the ether be right there when they need you Guiding your steps divinely blessed knocking at your door. Do you feel the force African in the Americas history They're not telling us our culture silenced through pride and violence they killed the Mayans man Now they're timeless. Oral stories told before me dance to get thunder roaring. They had to hide it kept it inside Stored in my jeans They still alive! Redefining what's normal. I'm a savage informal. Bred in my blood this hate and love it comes together We in this forever y'all the ones in my heart Every piece is a part balancing karma a state of dharma black white and red y'all all in my head But this was part of the plan Natives losing their land African slaves white pride and rage years of deception lies and oppression So we had to hold on to love seeing the picture above our souls came to grow forgot What we know, but even though it was stripped our spirits didn't forget the universal truth that the body is a suit You can take their lives. You can take their ways. See the language lost, but the message stays. So remember who you are That's the point of your existence Vikings and natives was the only way to fix this. With us The debt has been paid and now we paving our way to peace and salvation the Lord has tested our patience Ancestors ancestors they feed and protect us their seed and their blessing in my dream inception Pretending that shit's okay doesn't make it go away. Aye, pretty your space so vain anything to make you stay Hey transmute the pain through fame mastering alchemy, aye. Beauty and grace insane bitches ain't come to play Aye, aye light load cocked I'm gon shoot it if the shoe fits I'm gon boot it this light and dark I'm not choosing infiltrate the wave now I'm cruising. I'm star dust and I'm shining divine light and it's blinding my aura strong I don't stand alone ancestors long and they fighting and it hurt to lose my people Heart stand strong with a cripple hate in my veins trying to explain how I move it just ain't simple See I take my grief and eat it murder and death in my achievements with spirits on my side beaming the dead got the key to living Ancestors ancestors mixed with slave and oppressor say their name they present you with their blessings and protection Ancestors ancestors they feed and protect us their seed and their blessing in my dream inception Ancestors ancestors mixed with slave and oppressor say the name they present you with their blessings and protection They love us. They love us rise up and above us right up and uncover righteous tribe a dozen
