lyrics

Verse:

I'm seeing many of my brothers winning
Now,
No DJ Khaled,
We've ran quite a few miles
From the days of being a panther
To these days of Cam Newton,
They don't want to see us this far,
Only wanna see us shooting,
On the court or at each other,
Giving heart attacks mothers
Every time we leave the house
Afraid to be another Trayvon Martin or Mike Brown
I refuse to remain Bland
Sandra told me that I can,
Demand my rights,
I fear no man,
See our plan should be targeting black economy
Set up shop
Build up another Black Wall Street
One less hot
So they won't burn it down
They were jealous to see us make it without them
Used to us slaving for them
But I'm not Slavic
Fill up our pockets
Invest in youth
They are the future
Only way to change the present lane we had to get so use to,
Teach them to self defend
So pigs won't have to keep abusing you,
Give them education,
So they will not make a fool of you,
Rid our mind of complexion,
Either way they're arresting
Us the same way,
Making money every time our people
Check in at the state,
Prisons
Or federal
I had several brothers do time for the medical,
Before legalization
At least for them
Giving us time for the same crime
We been doing for years
To make a living for our families
Now they capitalizing
While we still got brothers in the pin,
I’m wondering when will it end,
This unfair treatment that we get
It’s up to us to make a change
Go head and break those mental chains
Put our brains to work,
Get rid of division between us,
Even if Willie Lynch isn’t true, he’s true enough,
We’d break each other down,
Before we bring each other up,
Ain’t no use being mad at me,
Crab in a barrel mentalities,
Won’t bring us together, it’ll keep us weak
I’m tryna drops gems,
So we can work it out,
And running our mouths,
Will not water the drought
We can work solo,
But I’d rather not go without,
My people,
Do like the Jews and pull together,
Like a vice grip,
Fight with each other, instead of fight against
It’s hard though, cuz lately I’ve been kinda convinced
That building our own here almost feels like it’s impossible,
Recently being international
Seems logical
Is it possible for me to leave the soil
I’ve grown on?
Just to open the mind of my people
Here at home?
I
Gotta try,
Even if I die,
And to my Hispanic brothers and sisters,
We gotta unite,
We got way more similarities than differences,
In Amerikkka,
We gotta spread the love

This is black talk, we gotta unite x4
