Brutal beat downs in the early rounds, jabbing, hooking, and uppercutting the blacks and browns.
Down early, but never out, mouth bloody, but we still shout.
We Black and We proud, took some punches, but we're not tired.
We see the Ancestors sitting ring side, is that Frederick Douglass and Nat Turner with a smile?!
I see Marcus Garvey and Malcolm X calming the crowd. Martin Luther King Jr. told me in a dream, that he predicts a Knock out in the 12th round.
Muhammad Ali is joking and floating around, he gave us the blue print on how to beat the oppressor down.
Multiple ways, we can do it Like Langston Hughes and W.E.B. Dubois and ink it on a page.
It's tough, but we're battling, a little dizzy, tho we're not rattled.
End of another round and we just relax our minds to see a clearer picture and take a knee like Colin,
deliver a speech like Khalid, Be a tough smart bad a$$ like Huey P. Newton,
those sisters in the struggle Like Harriet Tubman, Ruby Bridges, Angela Davis, and Rosa Parks are surely rooting,
put that mouth piece back in Black man, ain't no more losing.
It's either victory or extinction, Death or liberty,
if we can't give it our all, there's no need for us to be living, Living isn't free,
you are living off of the backs of those who died to give you life, you must return the favor and pay the price with your life.
3 generations have been lost since the 80's, somehow we forgot the message that those before gave us,
we stopped learning for ourselves and started to let the enemy translate it,
there's nothing new under the sun, he done the same thing to the bible pages.
God will never change the condition of a people, unless the people first change the conditions of themselves,
if we are truly serious about leaving a legacy, lets give these devils some 12th round hell and reverse the spells.
