400 steps forward, 400 steps back/we're back where we started/while we built his nation on our back/I guess we deserved only 28 days/ but see I'm 365 days Black/while I'm getting the black Beaten off me/ they wanna erase me like mammy didn't raise their seeds/ We used to lose our life if We knew how to read/ but we still got life/ thinking and breathing/ but our life still don't mean / so says The Man/ and we continue to believe it/ they love our swag they love our athletic ability/ but being born black in this country seems like a disability/ a liability/ we can't appreciate our new growth/ but all we fought for was something new to grow/ all we're doing doing now is catching these hands/but can't seem to keep above ground/ seems like they had a plan and all they needed was a reason/ we only have a season/ no lifetime/ but still we RISE/above the oppressor/ they say everything gets worse before it gets better.

ALL MY LIFE I HADZ TA FIGHT !!!
