You sell your soul like you sell a piece of ass

Slave to the dead white leaders on paper

And welfare cases

Rapists and hoes

All reinforced by your TV show

Exotic and beautiful videos

Yeah

A jail's a sanctuary for the walking dead

It fucks with your head

When every black leader ends up dead

Somebody said

Our greatest destiny is to become white

But white is not pure

And hate is not pride

And just 'cause civil rights is law

Doesn't mean that we all abide

So tell me are you free?

Campaign for every dead nigga blvd

So y'all motherfuckers can drive down it in your fancy cars

Free

You try to hold on to some Africa of the past

One must remember

It's other Africans that helped enslave yo' ass

Everybody's just trying to make to make that dollar

Remember what Jesse used to say?

"I am somebody"

No longer do I blame others

For the way that we be

'Cause niggas need to redefine

What it means to be free

I can't even tell my brothers and sisters that they're fine

This absence of beauty

In their heart and mind

Stopped breastfeeding the child

You put 'em on the cow

And now you wonder why they act wild

You see brown folks are the

Keepers of the earth

Unifiers of the soul and mind

Not these wannabe gaudy pimps and thugs

Wearing diamond watches

From African slave mines

Perhaps to be free

Is to all love those who hate me

And die a beautiful death

And make pretty brown babies

You campaign for every dead nigga blvd

So y'all young motherfuckers can

drive down it in their fancy cars

You try to hold on to some Africa of the past

Then one must remember

It's other Africans that helped enslave your ass

Everybody's trying to make that dollar

Remember what Jesse used to say?

"I am somebody"

No longer do I blame others

For the way that we be

'Cause niggas need to redefine

What it means to be free

You campaign for every dead nigga blvd

Just trying to make that dollar

So y'all young motherfuckers can

drive down it in your fancy cars

You try to hold on to some Africa of the past

Then one must remember

It's other Africans that helped enslave your ass

'Cause" everybody's

Trying to make to make that dollar

Remember what Jesse used to say?

"I am somebody"

No longer do I blame white folks

For the way that we be

'Cause niggas need to redefine

What it means to be free
