They say you can't go forward by moving back
My eyes on the motherland, I'm disproving that
No more of the gats and proving who is wack
It's time to motivate, no time to chew the fat
Approach the world with new attack
They'll take ya mind for a whirl if you let them and it's true in fact
We hit the club and we threw a rack
Then take a look in the mirror and we stare saying who is that?
But like a x-ray, J seeing threw the cap
A handclap for the blacks who make it through the trap
Black man's planet caravan done blew his back
What's the plan? went from "I'm a man" to "who the mack?"
Ain't just another chap rapping over boom and bap
Take it to the moon and back, never give a coon a dap
Take a nap, by the wing flap, maybe cruise the map
The goal is to roll ain't no trying to adapt
Open your eyes, see the bigger picture
You'll soon realize if you read the scripture
My people sick inside and we need a elixir
Gone to Alkebulan, peep the picture
It ain't force alive that could stop our flight
I'm like a garveyite, cue the black starlite
Relocatin' to Kemit, shit that's our right
Or remain stuck like Han Solo in the carbonite
Put ya hands down time to found a sovereign nation
Can't stand ground without a solid foundation
And i got it when i spot it like a dalmatian
You know i aint playin round bout my salvation
American will leave ya heart with a palpitation
Between light and dark, an amalgamation
Try to sell you fear but its all excrement
Never meant to stand still to your own detriment
The boundaries you see is only an impediment
And it's evident they hold you down like a sediment
Our ancestors proud, look how intelligent
Now empowering, where the poverty is prevalent
Hidden racism it'll really screw ya mental
Our people rise when we recognize our true potential
Your born free if you human, dude it's simple
We complicatin what is proven rudimental
