Not Free Enough (feat. D2g)

Yo, I ain't emmitt till I aint taking no vacation with my drive just for dying by the wheel Dragged thru the roads that was paved for my travel Before i see my destiny unravel Listen, I ain't langston hughes I ain't screaming I, too am america or weary with the blues My poetry is flowing thru my veins As my blood is the ink, words leaking is my pain See, this is where the story gets scary Ima paint a portrait of a tale for you not so fairy How they wanna rock and roll emmulating elvis But still discredit the origins of chuck berry For every spec of hate there's a mlk But for every mlk theres a james earl ray And with that, before they turn me into a martyr for some info I'm fully automatic malcolm little by the window And even when they paint us with osama scenes I can still sleep with obama dreams Cause my ancestry cant be dusty My jewelry was gold before the chains got rusty We been holding down society since day one Where you think the soul, style and swag shit came from But life's pretty sick to remind you How everybody wanna be us until its time to I ain’t tim thomas My fortune ain’t fuckin wit yo economics All four of your fathers Forgot dat my family Planted the cotton pickin promise But since we bein honest shiiid I ain’t james baldwin Nah negus it ain’t ever sweet But I’m in harlem heating up Like another native sun You can take the vibes And f*ck around when I’m done I’m fine bein the first black man To say fuck his forty acres Fly his family back to africa And let em fake it til they make it We don’t wanna go marcus garvey My people went to harvey And we still starvin Hell naw I ain’t marvin I know exactly what’s goin on Freedom is far more terrifying than slavery We slaves to everything we love Slaves to our own technology Slaves to money and popularity We slaves at no cost Only way to get free is to blow the whole thing up A shift in perspective Courage to truly live according to your own ideals and nobody else I came here to tell da truth Yes jimmy crow is new He knew you was a fool F*cked around and got full off you Then he blamed it on you Caught you red handed Then he offed you Let you spark just to spit you out And spin it off you You bought everything he sold But what it cost you what it cost you Da Kingdom and Da Culture... Thank god for grace Im free but not free enough I’m free but not free enough I’m free but not free enough
