I have a dream, that one day on the red hills of Georgia The sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners Will they be able to sit down at the table of brotherhood? I have a dream, I have a dream So apparently we in the land of liberty Well let me tell you bout what this country did to me Put a nigga through a lot of fucking misery Put a whitewash on a colored people's history Put a veteran and his belongings on the street PTSD. and he's longing for a little heat Someone who's killed and died so we have food to eat How the machine treats a patriot with no grief The government says they own us but with no receipt But they quick to get a warrant or a felony These police love to put a black man on his knees Rats don't like to see a nigga with the cheese The first maps were drawn up by the blacks But these white historians don't wanna acknowledge that They try to keep us in the dark in a nigga trap In a ghetto mindset but we ain't having that My millenials are getting quick hip to the facts Real niggas scribe philosophy on vinyl wax Transmitting knowledge of a new world history It's time to free yourself and bring about the liberty It's time to free yourself and bring about the liberty No more waiting for white Jesus to deliver me Politicians rob the world with no immunity So join the band fight back for the community Liberty He ain't got it I ain't get it Liberty Haven't felt it, have you seen it? Liberty I don't know it am I trippin? Liberty But you ain't special, we ain't different Liberty You snatch us out of Africa like little thieves How we endured those boat rides I cannot conceive So many people went along with it, can you believe? Tried to deceive us every step but we still achieve To reach new heights got up off your plantation To define arts and culture for an entire nation Now correlation does not imply causation Cause we ain't see no niggas, on the news station Don't let a nigga in on the important decision making Trump got less votes but they still faking Y'all wanna pretend that Agent Orange is president? That's an alternative fact, my truth is self-evident A little hesitant, to take that leap of faith False sense of security in the workplace A suitcase full of meds it's a disgrace Album called Oceanside cause it's my birthplace They turned a baby to a killa nigga Ghostface They boutta drop a nuke on the whole damn place A whole city vanished from the Earth, not a trace Ain't no room for peace in the arms race I need a lot of homies and I need a lot of tree Only way to survive in the land of liberty Black man don't want to be another statistic But y'all got me going ballistic Liberty He ain't got it I ain't get it Liberty Haven't felt it, have you seen it? Liberty I don't know it am I trippin? Liberty But you ain't special, we ain't different Liberty But I'ma still kick push and I'ma still ride Still striving to be great nigga full of pride I'ma show up mad late colored people time Afro melanin, nigga still shine Everybody telling me how they think I should sound But I've been living free since I was on the playground The fairground at Del Mar taught me many lessons Like how they quickly judge a nigga based on how I'm dressing A bit depressing cause I really thought we was progressing The fact that I'm alive and not in prison is a blessing I'm never stressing about how much paper that I got Stay connected with the roots like Black Thought What does it matter to have your name up in the marquee Without liberty, can't you see no ones free Still a slave to the ghetto and a food stamp Next phase is the trains and the death camp What does it matter when the first lady is a tramp Order apologies like prepaid stamps You told me Alex "I'm so sorry I missed your last show" Well apologize to innocent niggas on death row Everybody tryna flaunt, I keep it minimal Yet I'm still profile, like a criminal I'm only here cause I puff on the tree And I fight for liberty for my fucking family Liberty He ain't got it I ain't get it Liberty Haven't felt it, have you seen it? Liberty I don't know it am I trippin? Liberty But you ain't special, we ain't different Liberty He ain't got it I ain't get it Liberty
