You can fill the ocean with the tears from a slave ship Never learned to read so a chain is what they prayed with Blood is what they paid with Christ is who they stay with Yall like to talk alot if it aint freedom then dont say shit You can fill the ocean with the tears from a slave ship Never learned to read so a chain is what they prayed with Blood is what they paid with Christ is who they stay with Yall like to talk alot if it aint freedom then dont say shit Its a whole nother feeling when you think you made it They say the game aint got a price until you pay it When money drugs and alcohol get overrated Will you be around when your free will gets emancipated The answer waiting while time heals our generation Cause we all fucked side ways no penetration I prey today to see tomorrow no exaggeration Yall aint got a recollection of the pain im facing Im running out of patience Supposed to work together when it feels like we racing Protect and serve when I serve to protect 400 yrs of struggle and we still aint seen respect Go and cut the check I hate to reminisce But it feels guilty this day and age to be innocent We sending messages and they give no reply Yall can give them a by Yall can let it ride While our ancestors cry You can fill the ocean with the tears from a slave ship Never learned to read so a chain is what they prayed with Blood is what they paid with Christ is who they stay with Yall like to talk alot if it aint freedom then dont say shit You can fill the ocean with the tears from a slave ship Never learned to read so a chain is what they prayed with Blood is what they paid with Christ is who they stay with Yall like to talk alot if it aint freedom then dont say shit I pray to god that we dont suffer like they did Bond by chains getting whipped for being brave kids They know the truth but they seem hesitent to say shit Mocking us with pull over masks on some ape shit Just to resemble the same hoods we came with on these slave ships Showing bere ribs That some cage shit We show our gratitude by wearing clothes made from the same cotton they paid with Everyday shit You can fill the ocean with the tears from a slave ship Never learned to read so a chain is what they prayed with Blood is what they paid with Christ is who they stay with Yall like to talk alot if it aint freedom then dont say shit You can fill the ocean with the tears from a slave ship Never learned to read so a chain is what they prayed with Blood is what they paid with Christ is who they stay with Yall like to talk alot if it aint freedom then dont say shit Just run a couple days in the shoes of your oppressor Youlll realise that their struggles and problems are alot lesser Silver spoon feed society that will dress up Owning human beings would the rest of you like to catch up Their singing slave songs in hopes of receiving blessings As history plays on were steadily learning lessons Black on black crime our ancesters never resting Yall cant remember pain according to recollection Cause king had a dream Malcolm had a dream Colin had a team this is what it seems Freedoms just a thing people like to sing They woke in this world just go and dream If yall want shit to change yall better be willing to work for it Cause dreaming is where it starts Its time to wake up and do something about it You can fill the ocean with the tears from a slave ship Never learned to read so a chain is what they prayed with Blood is what they paid with Christ is who they stay with Yall like to talk alot if it aint freedom then dont say shit You can fill the ocean with the tears from a slave ship Never learned to read so a chain is what they prayed with Blood is what they paid with Christ is who they stay with Yall like to talk alot if it aint freedom then dont say shit
