Lyrics

Yeah, you never know what you can handle 'til you're once confronted
They used to slice newborns out of mother's stomachs
To pump fear in the hearts of the ones that's hunted
Give the shovel to the boy, the son's adjusted
Some disgusted off the blood and the guts
It's a never-ending cycle that went psycho with a musket
Trust gets broken, ribs get cracked
Turned into property with ships unpacked
Thick young black chick, whitey cop a feel
Grandpops said they sweatin' like **** in the cotton field
I was eight, he was white, now he dead
Happy at his funeral, all light is beautiful
Who are you? The shadow in the dark
Now they just shackle us and drag us in the park
Thought it was over, but they pack us in enough cells
That's why I always hold a grudge, fuck 12
Scuff shells, gunpowder in the cartridge
Roughin' us up regardless, stuffin' us in apartments
Sufferin' for the longest time now
Take a look around with your eyes now, blind lead blind now
Ride around lookin' just to make they quota
They snatched the good fella like Ray Liotta
They smeared Freddie's name like a gray Crayola
Picture that, they framed us just to make payola
Uh, now I'm seein' why they really quiet (Yeah)
'Cause all lives matter when it's Philly riots (Uh-huh)
Reflection, excuses, get over slavery, accept the abuses
Respect is inclusive, news is exclusive
To new **** who don't know what they roots is
Love Alex Haley, I'm no fan of Lincoln
Tell Live Vision, they program your thinkin'
I gave you power like I'm livin' on the shelf
I used to rely on somethin' biblical for help
Residuals from criminals on minimal sentences
Political, gettin' you with subliminal messages
Slave parole, state parole, switch the address again
We will build a great wall along
The president wants to build a wall to stop Mexicans
History repeats itself, that's why I'm stressed again
You ever felt the hate when you shoppin' at a store?
Now you don't even wanna go there no more
When it comes to gettin' help, they forgot like before
Leaders like Hitler, rotten to the core
Blood, sweat, and tears, we still die by the dozens
Fightin' to survive in the eyes of our loved ones
We're still oppressed and don't own our own land
At the end, this country was built with our hands
Yeah, let me guess, the slow progression is certain
In wicked times, picket signs, protestin' is workin'
You're never learnin', we burdens from the urban
In a country determined to make you feel less than a person
You could die provokin' a fight
When you realize we've been deprived of most of our rights
The same slaughter, shackled sons, chained daughters
Deprivileged to grow food and collect rainwater?
Look, Johnny Law helps the state with gentrification
They order us around, but not for special occasions
They throw your body in a trash so you'll nest with the ravens
The vultures, deny your culture, accept all the hatred
The lyin' is unfortunate, we dyin', they recordin' it
The sirens and them officers, the violence and they torture us
Divide again, they conquer us
Provided we don't make enough money for what it's costin' us
You ever felt the hate when you shoppin' at a store?
Now you don't even wanna go there no more
When it comes to gettin' help, they forgot like before
Leaders like Hitler, rotten to the core
Blood, sweat, and tears, we still die by the dozens
Fightin' to survive in the eyes of our loved ones
We're still oppressed and don't own our own land
At the end, this country was built with our hands
