These cars ain't nothing but ships
My brother
We slaves
These chains are still chains
Man ain't nothing changed
And
These clothes ain't nothing but fillers for all of our names
But I contradict myself cause I'm wearing these things
I need some clarity
Clearly I just wanna know my identity
Man that's  been taken away from me
I just want my peace
Not a bullet from a steel piece
But inner peace

I gotta meet my expectations and yours too
That's a double edged sword
That will swiftly cut through
Me
And it's crazy that we all bleed the same hue
We were royalty til
masters came and took away our rear view
Heavy is the head
Took our crowns and we lost our clear view
Lost our purpose
We're up for purchase
Up for auction
Lost our family
Still in our thoughts and
I say all this as i pick this cotton
Sing these songs
Songs about nothing
Where's the substance
You hide your hand
For fear of judgment
Just know it's still coming

Just because you erase history
Don't mean we don't have a story
You lock it in caves
White wash it away
Or at least try to
I can't give you all the blame tho
Because tho i can find out for myself
I try to find my Destiny in Halo
Get lost in these reality shows
That's just a distraction
We live in rabbit holes
But it's like Groundhog Day
Seeing another one of us slain
We get high
We get drunk
Just to mask the pain
Black man can't reveal it
He gotta be brave
Black girl gotta conceal it
Make up artists get praise

Apologies
talks of reparations
A pile b...s
To keep us in check
No apologies necessary
Just a foot off our neck
You neglect to repent
And show us equal respect
What's done in the dark comes to the light
What's done to the dark
You fear will be done to the... Let me digress
400 yrs just to give us Obama
I don't believe in Karma
But You reap what you sow
You on pins and needles now
Created a system so you wouldn't get poked
Dear corrupt system
You're overdue to implode
I see the loss in your power
The system overload

Weakened our families and our bodies
But never our souls
