So many misconceptions and stereotypes about us So much degrading, but we influence you the most You love our culture You grew up in a mansion, with a gate around the premises, given privileges since your genesis So you could never understand my sentiments, they may be too intricate Cuz we do not come from the same predicaments You see me as your biggest nemesis Hate the way i look, but your kids be trying to mimic it America don't give shit 'bout niggas in the hood, think of Zimmerman They say we menaces and our skin can get us sentences, even when we innocent This a racist map and we are just some racing rats Starting to see this ain't the place for blacks USA, you kept slaves, they got freed but you kept hate (USA, kept slaves, got freed, you kept hate) In your heart for us (Heart for us) Your life must be marvelous (Marvelous) You're up there so far from us (Far from us) Don't want no parts of us, but you like to take the art from us (But you like to take the art from us) And claim as yours with no regards to us (With no regards to us) Wanting us to stay beneath you How you love the culture but you hate the people? (Damn) When will you open your eyes and see that they don't want us to rise? They don't want us rise (To rise, to rise, to rise) They don't want us to rise (To rise, to rise) When will you open your eyes and see that they don't want us to rise? (Wake up now) They don't want us to rise ( Don't be ashamed) This how i was born and i would never be ashamed Of how i look, no plastic surgery, won't ever rearrange Got big lips and a big nose, it don't make me insecure I'm in touch with who i am and i won't let you interfere Negative scrutiny of my community don't ruin me We influence you artistically, and musically, our movies be Having you intrigued, but you still won't give us props And if i speak against your system i might end getting shot Damn, I don't understand it Why were they calling the Panthers bandits? (Why?) They were just trying to enhance the planet, R.I.P Fred Hampton This country filled with so many propagandists, killing and stealing to get the advantage For so many decades Open your eyes and open your mind up Don't let 'em blind ya, these motherfuckers are liars So you gotta enlighten, yourself, and see that they really don't like ya The president represent for all the racism, but we great as them Erasing us what they mean when they say make America great again, so much hate in them When will you open your eyes and see that they don't want us to rise? (Embrace our culture) They don't want us to rise They don't want us to rise (We influence you) When will you open your eyes and see that they don't want us to rise? (But you hate us the most) They don't want us to rise (Your kids wanna be just like us) Ha ha ha ha
