What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
[Cise Star:]
2
Afro-American, livin in the eyes of Aryan
3
Characteristics, contacts and hair extensions
4
And what we doin to ourselves just to fit in
5
They had us in the fields or slavin in the kitchen
6
It is my mission, to shed light to the subject
7
Confederate flags over the houses of the rednecks
8
American pride, or just evil in disguise
9
A close reminder of why many of my people died
10
To bring change in the midst of pain and oppression
11
We had to stand together and our hope was the weapon
12
Now we neglectin, important lessons from our forefathers
13
We need to stand tall and reclaim our lost honor
14
[Akin:]
15
Definin blackness, what's ghetto, and what's real
16
And what the fuck make a nigga wanna feel
17
That he gotta chase, dollars and fake
18
Pipe dreams and 38s, hate, wit the nickel plate
19
Within a arm's grasp, I'm marchin past
20
Them so called thugs waving arms to blast
21
Another black, ass
22
Destruct the masses, I'm Cassius Clay boxin bastards
23
Lyrically speaking I'm tryna touch the people and
24
Lyrically speaking I must critique the people and
25
I'm far from the likes of God
26
Though I am one wit self yo position is odd
27
Nigga, how the fuck you go knockin my style
28
If I'm not a real nigga than what's the profile
29
Is it, new shoes on my feet, every other week
30
Or carryin heat for niggaz just like me
31
I'd rather spend the most of my time
32
Writin in my composition note, book of rhymes
33
My mind's confined for now but it'll be free
34
When the fat lady sing from her soul to me
35
[Cise Star:]
36
We're quick to forget history's hardships
37
And ready to trade pride for money and bullshit
38
It's sick the way the media portrayin our people
39
Instead of motivatin change they're perpetuating evil
40
Negative outlooks make impressions on the youth
41
They try to ignorance synonymous with blackness
42
It's blasted, the way the images of acid
43
Burning into the soul, go give it guns and ratchets
44
[Akin:]
45
Yo, it's farewell to hell and, welcome in heaven
46
A new man is born divine like the number seven
47
Walk with me, if you will
48
Through the depths of a nigga's will it might feel
49
Kinda surreal
50
I woke up this morning smiling wit the rising sun
51
Like Robert Ness but hardly my day begun
52
One with the most high, I keep her close by
53
My heart when folks try
54
To bring me down now I'm knockin on heaven's door
55
Jump the gate ask for God on the seventh floor
56
Come holla at me see my people gotta hate complex with self
57
Til the point where we're numb to the pain that's dealt
58
Across the load, this bullshit we're not gonna know
59
About some brothers killin people in Sierra Leone
60
Over jewels that we cherish, here in America
61
Peace to Sorious Samura, thanks for helping the
62
World see the truth that they already know
63
So let's get free people all across the globe
64
From the great walls of China to France, to Johannesburg
65
Back to the land of Egu-Egu I recite the words
66
[Cise Star:]
67
I pledge allegiance only to those believing in me
68
My eyes steady on the prize til the people are free
69
Words to the wise so I always try to see
70
The things holdin me back so I can breathe
