What if this flag wasn't Red White and Blue? What if the black panthers still was the move? What if yo big homies was Malcolm x Muhammad Ali and Huey P Newton? And that God you ask forgiveness for turns out to be you? And what if killin' yo own kind meant that you instantly die ? And rape yo mother land and Queen and call her history now? Imagine that nose that got shot off the Sphinx look just like mine And no religion existed No queen of England just some Kings Of Egypt What if yo last name wasn't yo slave masters? And being born with dark skin made you Royal family Imagine every face on this money was someone you was related to And ropes around ya neck was always gold and not for hanging you Yeah You get the Klu cuz only a chicken Klux in a Klan Burn down ya village and give everyone Afrikan names See wife and kid and fuck em both You on boat wit that shit Uncle Sam really yo Auntie and life ain't a bitch Kidnap then let you off the rope Then go hunt for yo ass Teach you a prayer so you're basically callin' me dad Pimping at its finest Gotta you loving this flag that I'm flying Think that I'm lying The game is over I'll take Nina Simone over Oprah Mummification dripped in jewels thrown in the ocean over Coffins in soil dressed like the enemy that controls us Spiritual activation over vaccinations Assassinations and pinky rings over chockers Nigga I'd rather Pennies in penny loafers from JCPenny's and read or hear anything Quoted from Deepak Chopra over and over Over walking in churches just to notice that Jesus still don't look like anyone of my fucking uncles Wakanda foreva As long as Diamonds are forever we dying forever La Familia not familiar with riding together That red and blue got Ptsd from Lapd If I was banging wouldn't B no C's E-n-e mies Ice cream man Mastered pushing p's and seeing murder Flip a bitch before I flip a burger One initiation under God mercy on me Blood and Crip Bang it out But we don't shoot police cars Suit and tie politicians smile and get to sleep more Killas amugst us Killamonger Michael B.
