This is not a typical rap CD; this is a statement of the times A chronicle of what black men have to endure in America These are the words of a word warrior Who is not willing to accept and go along with the injustices that appear to be a major pattern in the fabric of America The pen and the page, that's all I ever had yep The woke man's rage, I am forever mad yep Being black in America with its checkered past Present, we question the vision the first settlers had Welcome to the Wild Wild West, they let the metal blast Clear a path for the rebels tell em through telegraph yep The same rebels we celebrate with this special flag Became devils, my ancestors done been to hell and back yep Many enslaved, caught in the devil's grasp white devils Some were brave, fought to repel the wrath yep Some made waves graves that was a better path yep Some ran away, and lost they better halves Escape routes plaited in braids before Telenav yep Hide your kids, your wife now run Tell em that yep Drum circles at night, that's the telecast yep Body snatchers in white, run hella fast Illegal to read and write, kept the Bible stashed yep It was illegal to fight, before the bell was cracked yep It was illegal to be, so much for Leviticus 3/5 of a man but it's us, that don't excel at math Ha The projects were a project yeah we fell for that yep The gospels out of date, the holy grail is rap yep Illegal drugs are better, tryna tell these quacks If opioids are an epidemic, what the hell is crack yep Let the drop top down, push the pedal past yep The cotton fields in the south, notice they smell of cash, blood money Reparations the expectation, the hell with that yep Blood money it's funny, how they sell it back Niggas in the trap, women are out here selling ass Lack of access to endeavors we're much better at These ignant whites acting like history ain't what held us back These ain't alternative truths, I'm just telling facts You know in your heart When you holding your heart That allegiance you pledge We bout to blow it apart Reclaiming my time is never outdated Reclaiming my time is never outdated The taste of defeat, is like sour grapes Success is more sweet, taste like a now later You know in your heart When you holding your heart That allegiance you pledge We bout to blow it apart This is a rap indictment against the killer cops The prison system And all the values that cause many of us to go astray Like money, power, and respect You know in your heart When you holding your heart That allegiance you pledge We bout to blow it apart The pen and the pad, is all I ever had yep Salute American flags my nigga never that nope Democrats, still oppressing my demographic We supposed to be kings, just ask Correta's dad Slavery was your head start remember that yep That was forever ago, we put an end to that Every gun toting cowboy defending that Dangling privilege all in my face, that I ain't ever had Probably never been told you speak properly nope Never falsely accused of armed robbery nope Never been strong armed by policy nope Never been strong armed for all your property nope Gentrification thanks to our government yep White Indian givers we call Republicans yep Indian giving isn't the right term nope Stealing shit that ain't yours is we call Columbusing yep But, Everyday is a new epiphany If something ain't making me happy it don't mean shit to me Telling my vicarious traumas, you can't sit with me This table is reserved for my people rewriting history Simply this shit is for us, (yep), specifically The people on the margins, starving for a victory yep This ain't a story of optimism for liberty nope Just the composer of this collection of symphonies yep This exposes the cold callousness of the neighbors many of us live in The frustration of trying to breathe when the air is contaminated You know in your heart When you holding your heart That allegiance you pledge We bout to blow it apart Reclaiming my time is never outdated Reclaiming my time is never outdated The taste of defeat, is like sour grapes Success is more sweet, taste like a now later You know in your heart When you holding your heart That allegiance you pledge We bout to blow it apart Revolution we must have a revolution within ourselves Before this revolution, we must have an evolution, so we won't recreate The madness we want to escape
