They say the truth a set you free, so most stay locked in a lie, the truth of our society, on blocks to many blacks die, first they take away your dreams, then they top off the lid, make us value silly things, sell nicotine to our kids, hear them sirens, it's a shame got me wondering why, hear them sirens, it's the same another brother just died, somebody said that I should preach, naw I respect my creator, Mama said that I should teach, they'll read the words I write later, cause man this history been bleached, inside you gotta reach greater, feel this burden in my soul, but still unfazed and persist, can't say a burden, more a goal, for those who raised them Black fist, felt the sun hit my skin, and know my ancestors smiled, know I'm the son of many men, every ancestors child, who gone do it all takes to win, make every ancestor proud, show the love that's well deserved, to those once bitten by dogs, see Huey touching every nerve, just spitting truth about hogs, the road ahead is kind of long, but know they made it much shorter, so use my head it's kind of strong, to stop this law with no order, all my heart, never a fraud, just live and see what I be, play the part in Amistad, where he scream give us free
