Uhh
2
[Nas]
3
Yo, you believe when they say we ain't shit, we can't grow?
4
All we are is dope dealers, and gangstas and hoes?
5
And you believe when they be tellin you lie, all on the media?
6
They make the world look crazy to keep you inside?
7
Why you listen when the teachers at school
8
Know you a young single parent out strugglin, they think you a fool
9
Give your kids bad grades and put 'em in dumber classes
10
Killin shorty future, I wonder how do we last it
11
Underground in they casket? Ancestors turnin
12
I'm learnin somethin every day, there is no Lazareth
13
Words like God is Greek or Latin
14
So if you study Egypt, you'll see the truth written by the masters
15
My niggaz is chillin, gettin high, relaxin
16
Envisionin, ownin shit, yo it can happen
17
What do we own? Not enough land, not enough homes
18
Not enough banks, to give a brother a loan
19
What do we own? The skin on our backs, we run and we ask
20
For reperations, then they hit us with tax
21
And insurance if we live to be old, what about now?
22
So stop bein controlled, we black zombies
23
[Chorus: (sung)]
24
Walkin talkin dead, though we think we're livin (black zombies)
25
We just copy-cat, followin the system (black zombies)
26
Walkin talkin dead, though we think we're livin (black zombies)
27
We just copy-cat, followin the system (black zombies)
28
[Nas]
29
Aiyyo we trapped in our own brain, fuck behind bars
30
We've already gone insane
31
They've already gave up, cut our own heads offs
32
Stab our own backs and dream too much
33
Without fulfillin reality; too greedy and
34
Can't have one or two chains, we need three of dem
35
Can't have one or two guns without squeezin 'em
36
On our own people and, fuck black leaders
37
Cause whites ain't got none leadin them, the rhythm is cosmic
38
Nas is divinity, the deity's prophetless
39
All get down and get up
40
Victims walkin 'round with Down's Syndrome, all stuck
41
Faintin, shoutin, catchin Holy Ghost in church
42
Scared to do it for ourselves 'less we see somebody doin it first
43
We begged, we prayed, petitioned and demostrated
44
Just to make another generation - black zombies
45
[Chorus:]
46
[Nas]
47
You scared to be yourself, cause you in a trance
48
Feel free, hear the music and dance
49
If you cared what they think, why wear what they wear, just for you
50
Dumb niggaz with long beards like they Arabs or Jews
51
Or from Israel, (?)bish'meal Allah, el-rachman, el-Rahim [?]
52
Islam's a beautiful thing
53
And Christian and Rastafari, helps us to bring
54
Peace against the darkness, which is ungodly
55
So what's the black man's true religion, who should we follow?
56
Use your own intuition, you are tommorrow
57
[roaring] .. That's the sound of the beast
58
I'm a Columbia record slave, so get paid
59
Control your own destiny, you are a genius
60
Don't let it happen to you like it did to me, I was a black zombie
61
[Chorus:]
62
[Nas]
63
Wake up! Black zombies in a spell for more than fo'-hundred years
64
Ghetto niggaz won't have it no mo', can I get a witness?
65
Why listen to somebody else tell you how to do it
66
When you can do it yourself; it's all in you, do it, do it
67
Do it niggaz..
