[Verse 1]
You know, sometimes I don't think they truly understand me ya know?
'Cause they don't, yeah
[Verse 2]
Uh, can't change the world 'less we change ourselves
Die from the sicknesses if we don't seek the health
All eyes be my witness when I speak what's felt
Full house on my hands, the cards I was dealt
3 K's, 2 A's in America
I'm just a black spade, spawn out the Nebula
And everything I do and say today that's worthwhile
Will for sure inspire action in your first child
I'll begin my verse now
[Verse 3]
Sometimes I speak and I feel like it ain't my words
Like I'm just vessel chilling in inside this universe
I feel my ancestors are resting inside of me
It's like they want me, shoot my chances
Changing society, but
How do I go about it, tell me where I start
My destiny re-routed when I chose to follow heart
You taught to follow suit, but tell me what it do for you?
Except weigh you down, are you trapped inside the cubicle?
They built for us, the first step in the change is to take notice
Realize the real games that they tried to show us
300 hundred plus years of them cold shoulders
Yet 300 million of us still got no focus
Sorry 'merica, but I will not be your soldier
Obama just wasn't enough, I need some more closure
And Donald Trump is not equipped to take this country over
Let's face facts, 'cause we know what's the real motive
[Verse 4]
And the land of the free, is for the free loaders
Leave us dead in the street, that be the organ donors
They disorganized my people, made us all loners
Still got the last names of our slave owners
And the land of the free, is for the free loaders
Leave us dead in the street, that be the organ donors
They disorganized my people, made us all loners, yo
[Verse 5]
We can't change the world 'less we change ourselves
Die from the sicknesses if we don't seek the health
All eyes be my witness when I speak what's felt
Full house on my hands, the cards I was dealt
3 K's, 2 A's in America
I'm just a black spade, spawn out the Nebula
And everything I do and say today that's worthwhile
Will for sure inspire action
[Verse 6]
Trickery in the system, put my **** in prison
All our history hidden, ain't no liberty given
We all fit the description, of what the document's written
We been lacking the vision, and barely making a living
We too worried to fit in, while they been benefiting
Every time you submitting, we all guilty admit it
Below 'em, put you acquitted
But you still ask for forgiveness
Put opiates and syringes, then inject this religion
How many times I gotta tell you I'm a man on a mission?
Many times I gotta tell you I don't need no permission?
A human with super vision, ain't no living condition
I'm reaching out to my children, just hoping that they will listen
Start a new coalition against corrupt politicians
Is not enough, out the prison, too many murder convictions
Not the family evicted, not the black man the victim
'Less it's really just gimmick
You should take recognition
[Verse 7]
And the land of the free, is for the free loaders
Leave us dead in the street, that be the organ donors
They disorganized my people, made us all loners
Still got the last names of our slave owners
And the land of the free, is for the free loaders
Leave us dead in the street, that be the organ donors
They disorganized my people, made us all loners
[Verse 8]
We can't change the world 'less we change ourselves
Die from the sicknesses if we don't seek the health
All eyes be my witness when I speak what's felt
Full house on my hands, the cards I was dealt
3 K's, 2 A's in America
I'm just a black spade, spawn out the Nebula
And everything I do and say today that's worthwhile
Will for sure inspire action in your first child
