Politicin' over proclamation that will/ 

Free a nation of black bodies stuck in an occupation/ 

Meanwhile Islands that are seen as Haitian fought for their/ 

Librations but didn’t get to sit with over nations 

So what’s July 4th to the Negro?

If she never knew her freedom until June yo/ 

She didn’t know she was with child until the third trimester/ 

But liberation was always her’s she didn’t need his words/ 

Liberation was always her but you know (Its like that)/

When you Black and your skin is all you have and you/

Can’t escape the past cause you been through all that (Its like that)/

Got to Craft, got to put art to that cause/

The pain will crack the mask that we wear to hid the past/

Ima, Black artist, entrepreneur, crafting/

intellectual property that I procure unalienable/ 

I am human, my gift of rap is a/ 

testament to all that but the fact still remains/

The ownership of what you create is still in chains/

They still policing bodies and putting them in a cage/

So much to stress him, that why I got to tap a higher lesson/

The beauty of Black art’s Devine intervention/

I said the beauty of Black art is Devine (Its like that)/

When you Black and your skin is all you have and you/

Can’t escape the past cause you been through all that (Its like that)/

Got to Craft, got to put art to that cause/

The pain will crack the mask that we wear to hid the past (Its like that)/

When you Black and your skin is all you have and you/

Can’t escape the past cause you been through all that (Its like that)/

Got to Craft, got to put art to that cause/

The pain (paint) will crack the mask that we wear to hid the past/

(Thats why I) Came with the Matt black rap when I backpack/

No white washed type raps, that’s a fact that/

Some who do this craft can’t seem to grasp that/

Paint there voices mad black, minstrelin' in the back/ (round) 

I see they stool the soul, took the gold in tow/ (tone)

Liking my oppression as if I just stub my toe/ 

Telling white lies is like minimal sentencing/

For them white lines, between a judge and a rock [ma man] it’s like a/ 

Life time So what copy rights do I have/ 

When the Rock and Roll was stolen from ma Fam/

Mean While Slavers Decedents party on Ocean 11/

Yacht rock on their boats with hoes and Steppin’/ 

To “Blessing Rains in Africa” But/ 

They don’t want the Reign of Afro-kin/ yup 

They like to claim that I came right after them/ But really I

nurtured them, And still some how they call me the worthless one/
