[00:09.20]When I was growing up,
[00:10.30]I was told in american history books,
[00:12.73]That africa had no history and neither did i.
[00:17.03]That I was a savage, about whom the less said, the better,
[00:22.57]Who had been saved by europe & brought to america
[00:29.60]And of course, I believed it.
[00:32.60]I didnt have much choice
[00:35.63]Trade my 4x4 for a g63
[00:37.73]Aint no more free lil steve
[00:39.10]I gave them chance and chance and chance again
[00:41.20]I even done told them please
[00:43.27]I find it crazy the police will shoot you and know that you dead but still tell you to freeze
[00:46.13]I seen what I seen
[00:48.17]I guess that mean hold him down if he say he cant breathe
[00:49.57]Its too many mothers that grieving
[00:51.33]For no reason
[00:52.40]Been going on for too long to get even
[00:54.07]Like dogs and hyenas
[00:55.77]I went to prison
[00:57.13]My mama was courted & crushed when they said I cant leave
[00:59.00]First I was drunk but I sobered up quick when I heard all that time they gave to taleeb
[01:02.60]He got a life sentence plus
[01:04.13]We just some products of our environment
[01:06.30]How they gon blame us
[01:07.73]You cant fight fire with fire
[01:09.17]I know but at least we can turn up the flames some (echo)
[01:14.67]You gotta pay attention to the signs
[01:16.13]Seems like the blind following the blind
[01:17.87]Thinking bout everything thats going on
[01:19.67]I boost security up in my home
[01:21.37]Im with my kind if they right or they wrong
[01:23.17]I call him now hell pick up the phone

[01:28.27]I see blue lights, I get scared and start runnin
[01:30.00]That be crazy, they supposed to protect us
[01:32.07]Throw us in handcuffs and arrest us
[01:33.73]While they go home at night, that messed up
[01:35.63]Knowing we needed help, they neglect us
[01:37.23]Wondering who gon make them respect us

[02:16.80]And everything else that freedom encompasses
[02:19.57]And to accomplish this
[02:21.20]We dont need allies
