12000
Land of the free, home of the brave
Land full of greed and poisonous snakes
Some of us free, but most of us slaves
Enough to make dr.king turn over in his grave No we aint got it made, all in these chains and shackles
Social media back lashes, brainwashed in acid
Instead of moving forward were taking 10 steps backwards
Unaware of being whipped, cant even hear the crackles...damn shame
I cant even recognize my own brothas, in tight clothes like a woman, killin each other like its nothin..damn shame
That i cant even recognize my sistas, hair extensions brazillion, true identity concealed this just cant be real
But it is, sorry to say, we rather treat each other like prey and stand in line for jays
Be real s, and bad es, but neglect our brains
But whos to blame? Us, but it dont have to be this way
With enough self love there will be no hate
We got to step up our game, and stop blaming the next race
For somethin we can but refuse to change
And for that very reason, problems shall always remain
Unless we change our ways, unite and join hands
Instead of using them to wrap around throats and choke friends
Hurt our mothers, kill our brothers, rape our sistas, neglect our kids
Black folks we gotta do better if we want this cycle to end
You cannot depend on nobody but you
Sculpt the future in your palms, pass it on to the youth
Take the wool off of your eyes so you can see the truth
The choice is yours, its up to you, which path will you choose?
Will you continue to walk blind or will you strive for sight
Its one thing for day to have light, but jewels only appear in the night
