Lyrics

My people are gripped by passion and greed
It's got 'em chasing the dragon at irrational speeds
So now they confusing their wants with actual needs
And even imaginary stats and factual deeds
We stacking the cheese but failing to react to the ease
In which our predators extract what they please
They say it'll increase your revenue but for a percentage
Like the credit card companies that's charging you interest
With APRs based on rates that are varied
A balance on your soul too heavy for you to carry
Finite numbers of dollars you gotta compete for
Devil sold you a dream that you ain't got a receipt for
Industry hookers and the labels that yawn
Who bought you with the promise that you'll be labeled a don
We on the auction blocks but we don't know that
So brothers got the price tag hanging off their throat back
Let go! Let go!
Let the people from Babylon in confusion
We no know what's a gwaan
Let go! Let go!
Escape from illusion where the vampire one
Feed upon I man
Let go! Let go!
Escape sufferation and pollution here in a dissa nation
Let go! Let go!
We want elevation, not destruction
We are Jah creation
It's an undeniable fact that I'm black
Africa runs through my veins like Moe
Greene runs through finish lines on tracks
So why is it that my own people question the way that I act
And say that I lack what it takes to be real?
Man, how the heck you think that's making me feel?
I don't wanna act fake just to make me appeal
To the thug mentality, that's not my reality
Why I gotta be the cat to prove his nationality?
I mean my pops came from a block with drugs and guns
He made it out the hood to make a change for his sons
I mean he wanted the best for all of his kids
So we can be number one and do the things he never did
The path of black achievement is narrow
But I'mma keep it on point like an arrow
And soar high like a sparrow
And then keep on building 'til my children break glass ceilings
And make billions and put our names on skyscraper buildings
We got a deep fascination with the glamorous
Infatuation with the romantic and the amorous
Drawn to where the drama is
After these words from our sponsors
Designed to trigger hormonal responses
Programmed slaves to supply and demand
With urges to go on splurges that we don't understand
Commercial cannibalism and you won't survive it
Chasing notes that's legal tender for debts public and private
A large percentage of our people are sickened from venom
That was put in 'em by the enemy's slick tactics
And given in the form of misinformation combined with ill living
And sinful misgivings embedded in minds from the beginning
We sitting on our hands while they winning and grinning
We leaning and spinning, killing our women and children
We should be building instead of this guilty living
Leaving an empty feeling
Keeping it real when I say we need a healing
