WEBVTT
00:00:06.806 --> 00:00:14.481
America, god bless you
if it's good to you
00:00:15.448 --> 00:00:21.221
America, please
take my hand
00:00:22.622 --> 00:00:24.307
Can you help me underst...
00:00:44.644 --> 00:00:47.163
Yesterday I got a call like
from my dog like 101
00:00:47.213 --> 00:00:49.799
Said they killed his only son because
of insufficient funds
00:00:49.849 --> 00:00:52.268
He was sobbin', he was mobbin',
way belligerent and drunk
00:00:52.318 --> 00:00:54.971
Talkin' out his head, philosophin'
on what the lord had done
00:00:55.021 --> 00:00:56.406
He said: "k-dot, can
you pray for me?
00:00:56.456 --> 00:00:57.707
Been a messed
up day for me
00:00:57.757 --> 00:01:00.076
Know that you anointed, show
me how to overcome."
00:01:00.126 --> 00:01:01.678
He was lookin'
for some closure
00:01:01.728 --> 00:01:02.846
I can bring him closer
00:01:02.896 --> 00:01:05.148
Spiritual, my spirit do know
better, but I told him
00:01:05.198 --> 00:01:07.684
"I can't sugarcoat the answer for
you, this is how I feel:
00:01:07.734 --> 00:01:10.186
If somebody kill my son, that mean
somebody gettin' killed."
00:01:10.236 --> 00:01:12.789
Tell me what you do for love,
loyalty, and passion of
00:01:12.839 --> 00:01:15.358
All the memories collected, moments
you could never touch
00:01:15.408 --> 00:01:17.911
I'll wait in front of homie's spot
and watch him hit his block
00:01:17.911 --> 00:01:20.330
I'll catch the homie leavin' service
if that's all I got
00:01:20.380 --> 00:01:22.966
I'll chip that homie, then throw
the blower in his lap
00:01:23.016 --> 00:01:25.502
Walk myself to the court like,
"man, I did that!"
00:01:25.552 --> 00:01:28.104
Ain't no black power when your
baby killed by a coward
00:01:28.154 --> 00:01:30.757
I can't even keep the peace, don't
you play with one of ours
00:01:30.757 --> 00:01:34.577
It be murder in the street,
it be bodies in the hour
00:01:34.627 --> 00:01:35.845
Ghetto bird be on the street,
paramedics on the dial
00:01:35.895 --> 00:01:37.063
Let somebody
touch my mama
00:01:37.063 --> 00:01:38.314
Touch my sister,
touch my woman
00:01:38.364 --> 00:01:39.549
Touch my daddy,
touch my niece
00:01:39.599 --> 00:01:41.051
Touch my nephew,
man I promise
00:01:41.101 --> 00:01:43.520
You chip the homie dead, then
throw the blower in his lap
00:01:43.570 --> 00:01:45.355
Matter fact, I'm 'bout to speak
at this convention
00:01:45.405 --> 00:01:45.989
Call you back...
00:01:46.039 --> 00:01:46.589
(Gun shot)
00:02:01.788 --> 00:02:05.341
It's not a
place (uh huh)
00:02:05.391 --> 00:02:12.398
This country is to me a sound
of drum and bass
00:02:12.999 --> 00:02:16.719
You close your eyes
to look around
00:02:16.769 --> 00:02:19.956
It's not a place (uh huh)
00:02:20.006 --> 00:02:24.060
This country is
to me a thought
00:02:24.110 --> 00:02:27.597
That offers grace (uh huh)
00:02:27.647 --> 00:02:31.201
For every welcome
that is sought
00:02:31.251 --> 00:02:33.353
Run your life, I
live a better life
00:02:33.553 --> 00:02:34.921
I'm rollin' several dice
00:02:34.921 --> 00:02:37.006
Run your life, I
live a better life
00:02:37.056 --> 00:02:38.475
I'm rollin' several dice
00:02:38.525 --> 00:02:40.326
Run your life,
I live a...
00:02:40.326 --> 00:02:41.811
Run your life... I
00:02:41.861 --> 00:02:43.029
This is my heritage,
00:02:43.029 --> 00:02:44.380
All I'm inheritin
'money and power,
00:02:44.430 --> 00:02:45.598
The maker of marriages
00:02:45.598 --> 00:02:46.716
Tell me somethin'
00:02:46.766 --> 00:02:48.651
Uh, you can't
tell me nothin'
00:02:48.701 --> 00:02:50.487
I'd rather die than
to listen to you
00:02:50.537 --> 00:02:52.355
My dna not for imitation
00:02:52.405 --> 00:02:53.990
Your dna an abomination
00:02:54.040 --> 00:02:55.525
This how it is when you're
in the matrix
00:02:55.575 --> 00:02:56.926
Dodgin' bullets,
reapin' what you sow
00:02:56.976 --> 00:02:58.661
And stackin' up the footage,
livin' on the go
00:02:58.711 --> 00:03:00.113
And sleepin' in a villa
00:03:00.113 --> 00:03:01.764
Sippin' from a grammy and
walkin' in the buildin'
00:03:01.814 --> 00:03:03.933
Diamond in the ceilin',
marble on the floors
00:03:03.983 --> 00:03:05.468
Beaches out the window, peekin'
out the window
00:03:05.518 --> 00:03:07.437
Baby in the pool,
godfather goals
00:03:07.487 --> 00:03:08.972
Only lord knows, I've
been goin' hammer
00:03:09.022 --> 00:03:10.306
Dodgin' paparazzi,
freakin' through
00:03:10.356 --> 00:03:11.808
Freakin' through the camera
eatin' four daughters,
00:03:11.858 --> 00:03:13.776
Brock wearin' sandals
yoga on a monday,
00:03:13.826 --> 00:03:15.145
Stretchin' to nirvana
00:03:15.195 --> 00:03:16.646
Watchin' all the snakes,
curvin' all the fakes
00:03:16.696 --> 00:03:18.481
Phone never on,
I don't conversate
00:03:18.531 --> 00:03:20.383
I don't compromise,
I just penetrate
00:03:20.433 --> 00:03:22.001
Sex, money, murder, these
are the breaks
00:03:22.001 --> 00:03:23.786
These are the
times, level number 9
00:03:23.836 --> 00:03:25.655
Look up in the sky,
10 is on the way
00:03:25.705 --> 00:03:27.790
Sentence on the way, killings
on the way
00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:29.559
Won't you tell the I got
millions on the way
00:03:38.585 --> 00:03:39.185

That the only thing
more frightening
00:03:54.133 --> 00:03:56.903
Than watching a black man
be honest in america
00:03:57.870 --> 00:04:00.223
Is being an honest black
man in america
00:04:01.441 --> 00:04:03.710
