Lyrics:
James Baldwin used his words
To tell us how he felt
To show what made him happy
To say what made him melt
James Baldwin used his words
To say what
James Baldwin used his words
To tell us how he felt
To show what made him happy
To say what made him melt
James Baldwin used his words
To say what
of tears
Word to James Baldwin our little brothers need repentance
Yeah word to James Baldwin our little brothers need repentance
Father God I know
(Jame's Baldwin speech)
This black don't crack
We've been handed out ass whoopings so it's time
That the black bust back
Now the black girl mad
Damn
beautiful people who
Cannot suffer can never grow up
Can never discover who they are
– James Baldwin
Through much of the nineteenth century
Americans faced
A glimpse.
Unsatisfied,
I'm holding on.
I do not know
How I've been
Doing this so long.
It just don't
Make no sense.
But in the words of
James Baldwin,
For
banners up and read
Your James Baldwin Malcom was a winner
And Martin Luther told 'em
Malcom was a winner
And Martin Luther told 'em
Put your banners
That Baldwin
I found love in an empty room
It echoed truths I couldn't face
Like silly juice
Made me shake all my burden hues
James blues
That
less
Study David Bowie, James Baldwin and 2Pac
Watch the sun set with best friends from a rooftop
Wear a helmet, don't be stupid,jaywalk, but look
harlem, I be james baldwin
With money in the bank like g. rap, we're calling

With niggas masked up like phantom of the opera
Dreaming
James Baldwin
With money in the bank like G. Rap, we're calling
We coming from the
South (side), South (side)
South (side), South (side)
South (side),

If rap was Harlem, I'd be James Baldwin
With money in the bank like G Rap, we're calling
We coming from the
Southside, southside
Southside,

Brought you a classic for you and all your niggas to spark to
I ought to, nah, fuck it
'Cause even Nikki Giovanni had James Baldwin to talk

eventually ceases to
Be controlled by a fear of what
Life can bring - James Baldwin
For well over a year 50 Cent
Had been working on what
Was meant to be hist
Of Maya Angelou, and the
Writings of James Baldwin
And in the music of Nina Simone
I remember wishing that I had
A female peer I could
Look to for support
a nigga with her to help her old ass
As James Baldwin says
"You can only be destroyed by believing
That you really are what the white world considers
The rhetoric of martin king just saint around no more
Dave Bowie ain't here James Baldwin neither
They all were leaders
But they ain't help me get this porch
harlem, I be james baldwin
With money in the bank like g. rap, we're calling
[chorus]
With niggas masked up like phantom of the opera
Dreaming

Do Bois ain't here, James Baldwin either, they all were leaders
But they ain't help me get this Porsche two-seater

While still you're crawlin'
If rap was Harlem, I be James Baldwin
[James Baldwin]: It was not a matter of morals, so much, as a matter of being forced, in my own case, to suggest—to keep suggesting that, though, it
the prison's 'Another Country' like James Baldwin
Blacks and latinos all in the system
Like it's a calling to fall in the trap
That's why our blocks are infested
