It's like history's moving backwards

we're back to the first chapter

the only difference now is that they don't tell us that they our masters

They think of us as nothing but gangsters and wack rappers

forget about the black actors or the stars on the raptors

They think we good for nothing, and no one will care if we die

Out of every 100 deaths they probably cover 5

on the news, black youth shot and abused,

no crime committed but the officer still acquitted

maybe if the officer was of color he'd be convicted

The system governed by a black person is still twisted

Sandra Bland, May she rest in piece,

now the black folk scared they can't get job in one piece

This ain't skyrim, you might catch a bullet to the knee

if you get caught with as little as a gram or two of tree

They say the darker the berry the sweeter it's juice

but this country doesn't want fresh fruit

they happy with vegetables, lacking the testicles

to accept that they ain't the only ones who slowly walk the earth

since when was it wrong for a mother to give birth

to a child of color with nappy hair and black eyes, for what it's worth,

I don't see a problem, whether you're from Scotland or Somalia

whether your name is Maryam or Monica
