A New World

We don't know accountability, only quick fixes

And temporary pleasures to distract our senses

We only know pointing the finger, never at ourselves and always at another

Never stopped to wonder why the cycle seems relentless

Wash, Rinse, Repeat, I've had enough of dirty dishes

It's like we come to a consensus to forfeit our power and let dictators make our decisions

Like them same mother fuckers ain't the reason for the sickness

Like them same mother fuckers aint have your daddy in prison

And your momma crying cause' she can't afford gifts on Christmas

Like them same mother fuckers ain't have Assata on the hit list

I'm saying, why you trust the system over trusting yourself

Like a politician give a fuck, like they really here to help

Been sitting in shit so long, you lost sense of smell

Cause' this shit is really hell and only you could save yourself

But all that shame and guilt make you pretend you someone else

Reject your skin, nose hair, now you can't access inner wealth

Pain in your veins and all it wants to be is felt

I'd rather make my own footprints, then to follow the same trail

Surrendered your sovereignty, no faith in a higher self

But still you place full faith in an election

Lesser of two evils, but the wound is still festering

Political gestures turn black folks to jesters

What good is a Tubman when the cut is infected

America been sinning and it's time for karma collection

I say let that bitch burn

Let's plant seeds in the ashes

This system obsolete, stop trying to hold onto the past when,

A new world's being born and these are the contractions
