1
[Verse 1: Common]
2
Hot damn, black America again
3
Think of Sandra Bland as I'm starin' in the wind
4
The color of my skin, they comparin' it to sin
5
The darker gets the less fairer it has been
6
The hate, the hate made, I inherited from them
7
But I ain't gon' point the finga
8
We got annoyed singas (singers)
9
Like Nina, Marvin, Billie, Stevie
10
Need to hear them songs
11
Sometimes to believe me
12
Who freed me, Lincoln or Cadillac?
13
Drinkin' or battle raps?
14
Or is it God's speed that we travel at
15
Endangered in our own habitat
16
Them guns and dope, man y'all can have it back
17
As a matter (of) fact, we them lab rats
18
You built the projects for, now you want ya hood back
19
I guess if you could rap, you would express it too
20
That PTSD, we need professionals
21
You know what pressure do, it makes the pipes bust
22
From schools to prison y'all, they tryna pipe us
23
'Til you're political parties invite us
24
Instead of voting laws in spite us
25
You know, you know we from a family of fightas (fighters)
26
Fight in, our wars and your wars, you put a nigga in Star Wars
27
Maybe you need two, and then maybe then we'll believe you
28
See black people, in the future, we weren't shipped here
29
To rob and shot ya
30
We hold these truths ta (to) be self-evident
31
All men and women are created equal, including black Americans
32
Yeah, that's black America again
33
[Verse 2: Common]
34
We go here, we go here, here we go again
35
Trayvon 'ill never get to be an older man
36
Black children, they childhood stole from them
37
Robbed of our names and our language, stole again
38
Who stole the soul from black folk?
39
Same man that stole the land from cheap black smoke
40
And made the whip crackle on our back slow
41
Made us go through the back door
42
And raffle black bodies on the slave blocks
43
Now we slaves to the blocks cause on 'em we spray shots
44
Leavin' our own to lay in a box
45
Black mothers' stomach stay in a knots
46
We kill each other, more than the cops
47
I wish the hatin' would stop
48
We are at war, in a battle with us
49
I know that black lives matter, do they matter to us?
50
These are the things we gotta discuss
51
The new plantation, mass-incarceration
52
Instead of educate, they'd rather convict the kids
53
As dirty as the water in Flint, the system is
54
Is it a felony? or a misdemeanor?
55
Maria Sharapova makin' more than Serena
56
It took Viola Davis to say this
57
The roles of the help and the gangstas is really all they gave us
58
We need [?], [?], and Cory Bookers
59
The salt of the Earth, they get the salt with sugar
60
And greasy foods, I don't believe the news
61
Or radio, stereotypes we refuse
62
Brainwashed into cyclone to spin
63
We write our own story, black America again
