00:00:09.200 --> 00:00:10.200
When I was growing up,
00:00:10.300 --> 00:00:12.633
I was told in american
history books,
00:00:12.733 --> 00:00:15.500
That africa had no history
and neither did i.
00:00:17.033 --> 00:00:22.466
That I was a savage, about whom
the less said, the better,
00:00:22.566 --> 00:00:27.666
Who had been saved by europe
& brought to america
00:00:29.600 --> 00:00:32.500
And of course,
I believed it.
00:00:32.600 --> 00:00:34.400
I didnt have much choice
00:00:35.633 --> 00:00:37.633
Trade my 4x4 for a g63
00:00:37.733 --> 00:00:39.000
Aint no more free lil steve
00:00:39.100 --> 00:00:41.100
I gave them chance and chance
and chance again
00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:43.166
I even done told them please
00:00:43.266 --> 00:00:46.033
I find it crazy the police will shoot
you and know that you dead
but still tell you to freeze
00:00:46.133 --> 00:00:48.066
I seen what I seen
00:00:48.166 --> 00:00:49.466
I guess that mean hold him down
if he say he cant breathe
00:00:49.566 --> 00:00:51.233
Its too many mothers
that grieving
00:00:51.333 --> 00:00:52.300
For no reason
00:00:52.400 --> 00:00:53.966
Been going on for too
long to get even
00:00:54.066 --> 00:00:55.666
Like dogs and hyenas
00:00:55.766 --> 00:00:57.033
I went to prison
00:00:57.133 --> 00:00:58.900
My mama was courted & crushed
when they said I cant leave
00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:02.500
First I was drunk but I sobered
up quick when I heard all that
time they gave to taleeb
00:01:02.600 --> 00:01:04.033
He got a life sentence plus
00:01:04.133 --> 00:01:06.200
We just some products
of our environment
00:01:06.300 --> 00:01:07.633
How they gon blame us
00:01:07.733 --> 00:01:09.066
You cant fight fire
with fire
00:01:09.166 --> 00:01:13.566
I know but at least we can turn
up the flames some (echo)
00:01:14.666 --> 00:01:16.033
You gotta pay
attention to the signs
00:01:16.133 --> 00:01:17.766
Seems like the blind following
the blind
00:01:17.866 --> 00:01:19.566
Thinking bout everything
thats going on
00:01:19.666 --> 00:01:21.266
I boost security up in
my home
00:01:21.366 --> 00:01:23.066
Im with my kind if they
right or they wrong
00:01:23.166 --> 00:01:24.666
I call him now hell
pick up the phone
00:01:24.766 --> 00:01:26.533
Its 5 in the morning
he waking up on it
00:01:26.633 --> 00:01:28.166
Tell them wherever im
at then they comin
00:01:28.266 --> 00:01:29.900
I see blue lights, I get scared
and start runnin
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:31.966
That be crazy, they supposed
to protect us
00:01:32.066 --> 00:01:33.633
Throw us in handcuffs
and arrest us
00:01:33.733 --> 00:01:35.533
While they go home at night,
that messed up
00:01:35.633 --> 00:01:37.133
Knowing we needed help,
they neglect us
00:01:37.233 --> 00:01:38.800
Wondering who gon make
them respect us
00:01:38.900 --> 00:01:40.600
I can see in your
eye that you fed up
00:01:40.700 --> 00:01:42.533
Mess around got my
shot I wont let up
00:01:42.633 --> 00:01:44.033
I know that we a
problem together
00:01:44.133 --> 00:01:45.900
They know that we can
storm any weather
00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:47.000
Its bigger than
black and white
00:01:47.100 --> 00:01:48.933
Its a problem with the
whole way of life
00:01:49.033 --> 00:01:50.566
It cant change overnight
00:01:50.666 --> 00:01:52.233
But we gotta start somewhere
00:01:52.333 --> 00:01:54.000
Might as well gon
head start here
00:01:54.100 --> 00:01:55.533
We done had a hell of a year
00:01:55.633 --> 00:01:57.366
Im gon make it
count while im here
00:01:57.466 --> 00:01:59.400
God is the only man I fear
00:02:01.300 --> 00:02:03.100
Its a state of emergency
00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:04.633
Its been a hell of a year
00:02:04.733 --> 00:02:06.866
Hell for over 400 years
00:02:06.966 --> 00:02:09.066
My people its time we stand
00:02:09.166 --> 00:02:12.566
Its time we demand the freedom
that this land promises
00:02:12.666 --> 00:02:16.700
President biden we demand
justice, equity, policy
00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:19.466
And everything else that
freedom encompasses
00:02:19.566 --> 00:02:21.100
And to accomplish this
00:02:21.200 --> 00:02:22.300
We dont need allies
00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:23.833
We need accomplices
00:02:23.933 --> 00:02:25.400
Its bigger than
black & white
00:02:25.500 --> 00:02:26.766
This is not a trend
(until freedom)
00:02:26.866 --> 00:02:28.000
This is our plight
(until freedom)
00:02:28.100 --> 00:02:29.166
Until freedom
00:02:29.266 --> 00:02:30.666
Until freedom
00:02:30.766 --> 00:02:32.600
Until freedom
00:02:32.700 --> 00:02:34.033
Every video I see
on my conscious
00:02:34.133 --> 00:02:35.766
I got power now I
gotta say somethin
00:02:35.866 --> 00:02:37.833
Corrupted police been the
problem where im from
00:02:37.933 --> 00:02:39.433
But I would be lying if I
said it was all of em
00:02:39.533 --> 00:02:40.500
I didnt do this for
the trend
00:02:40.600 --> 00:02:41.533
I dont follow them
00:02:41.633 --> 00:02:42.833
Altercations with
the law, had a lot
00:02:42.933 --> 00:02:43.966
People speaking for
the people
00:02:44.066 --> 00:02:45.066
Im proud of em
00:02:45.166 --> 00:02:46.300
Stick together we can
get it up out of em
00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:48.100
I cant lie like I dont rap
about killing and dope
00:02:48.200 --> 00:02:49.566
