1
The black man in America is blind
2
Don't know who he is and he don't know the time
3
He's in the dope game with the caine and the crack, got a gat
4
20 sack, Benz and a Cadillac like a mack
5
Uhh, like a mack, uhh, like a mack
6
We're steady bein' pimped like a trick by the devil
7
And doin' it 'cause he think he can't escape from the ghetto
8
But if he only knew that he was a pawn in the game
9
Bein' use to killers, people puttin that evil in they veins
10
He's makin' them some money but it ain't funny, is it?
11
I wonder if he knows he's slangin' that cocaine for the Grand Wizard
12
Of the Ku Klux Klan, 'cause like we told you
13
And add it up, Uncle Sam don't give a damn
14
Sellin' you the powder, now can you tell me how tha
15
Hell you expect to excel
16
By killin' the black for the green, got the white man havin fun
17
Givin up the machine guns
18
Watchin us kill each other
19
Fightin' over 'Parkay', they're scared of the real butter
20
So don't shoot another brother today but
21
Point that AK at the wicked wicked USA
22
'Cause they the ones who put me through slavery
23
And now them Gz want to give them D's what they gave to me
24
So can you see where we're comin' from?
25
It's just another way to try to keep, us, blind deaf and dumb
26
[Chorus]
27
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up to the Eastside
28
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up to the Westside
29
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up to the Northside
30
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up to the Southside
31
X-N, once again, has the flow, tellin' Pharaoh
32
To let the so-called negro G-O
33
'Cause yo, we believe the way they treated us was evil
34
And they never should've messed with the chosen people
35
Now this is the time in history for the separation
36
Between the two nations
37
And they can't fade me 'cause God made me
38
To be a X-N-I-double G-A-Z
39
Lazy and crazy was the way they gave thee
40
Raise black babies ever since the day we
41
Was bought here in chains, over nine thousand miles
42
Our bodies stacked and packed in big black piles
43
They broke us down in the Caribbean
44
We knew sometin' wasn't right about that pale-faced European
45
Livin' anyway in sophisticated bondage
46
Dyin' everyday over nothin' but nonsense
47
It's gettin' worse and I don't know if it'll ever stop
48
Mo' brothers gettin' peeled, mo' brothers gettin' popped
49
It ain't hard to tell, yeah
50
That a white man's heaven is a black man's hell
51
So can you see where we're comin' from
52
It's just another way to keep us all, blind, deaf and dumb
53
[Chorus]
54
Now to the blind brothers without the power of sight
55
The rhyme shines bright in your mind with divine light
56
Deaf are the rhymes, can't hear because they fear
57
The sound of two X, records in they ears
58
And they lack the power of speech
59
And each time they greet or teach, they words can't reach
60
The gang bangers, or the drug dealers
61
So we grill the real deal wit skill until they feel us
62
Droppin' this line, like bombs
63
From Elijah, Mohammed and Farrakhan
64
The enemies want to flex but can't win
65
They scared of the skin of a million black, men
66
In black suits and bow ties
67
Boots gotta spit shine, on the front line and organized
68
Next to us, a million black women
69
Soldiers, the battle ain't over, it's just beginning
70
No time for laughter in the last chapter
71
Just told of disaster of the slave master
72
And now we have to pay
73
For the masquerade, and the track we lay
74
For every slave, back in the days, his wicked ways
75
Kept us in a mental grave and in amazement
76
But now it's a brand new day and time
77
And black people gotta brand new frame of mind
78
So can you see where we're comin' from?
79
It's just another way to try to keep us all, blind deaf and dumb
80
[Chorus]
