Black Black Black

This is not the regular This is that boom-bap, bap, bap! Some, they call it secular I just call it Black, Black, Black! Marcus Garvey, Boukman Dutty Bring that army back, back, back! Malcolm X and Kwame Ture This is where I'm at, at, at! If you wanna talk to me Talk to me about Black, Black, Black! Haile Selassie The First Negus Nagast, let's talk about that, that, that! Kaboom, Nanny Maroon and all the Maroons Let's talk about that, that, that! The real Underground Railroad The first subway for Black, Black, Black! The freedom train begets what you bring Getting on track, track, track! Whether justice or injustice How do you react-act-act? Can you stand there laughing While they shoot us in the back, back, back? This is what some rappers sound like Every time they rap, rap, rap! I'm raising up the red and the green And the black, black, black! Even with no cops in the hood We still hear "click-click, clack-clack-clack"! I cannot forget my ancestors Just because I rap, rap, rap! Look at me from top to bottom KRS is Black, Black, Black! Get up, get out! Speak up, speak out! Reach up, reach out! This is what Black about Get up, get out! Speak up, speak out! Reach up, reach out! This is what I rap about Get up, get out! Speak up, speak out! Reach up, reach out! Too many selling out Get up, get out! Reach up, reach out! Lift up, lift out! Get out! Time to ask the question now Are you really Black, Black, Black? It is not a mystery We under attack-tack-tack! If you chatting fuckery You hold our people back, back, back! Time to put aside the fantasy And deal with fact, fact, fact! This is not the time to be talking All that crap, crap, crap! Those who talk that crap, crap, crap Are those that don't fight back, back, back! You can say what you like but real skill I never lack, lack, lack! Black is more a consciousness The way you think and act, act, act! Get up, get out! Speak up, speak out! Reach up, reach out! This is what Black about Get up, get out! Speak up, speak out! Reach up, reach out! This is what I rap about Get up, get out! Speak up, speak out! Reach up, reach out! Too many selling out Get up, get out! Reach up, reach out! Lift up, lift out! Get out, lights out!
