The mind such a terrible thing to waste
And I don't even know what to think today
We all got American dreams to chase
Forty acres an a mule they ain't teachin this in school yo
Cold wind blow through my souls window
We got Wade vs Roe
And the new Jim Crow
Constitutional code all the wrongs we've wrote
Sick of seeing five zero off another camera phone
Sound like the beast that's the sound of police
Put a target on a king make him bargain for a plea
Used to toss them in the sea now you toss away the keys
Might plant it under seats just to give you strike three
Sign of white privilege more silent politicians
Another homicide victim just a modern day lynching
We got cotton in the stitching got a sweat shop system
In a private stock prison
Kind of over crowded is it
Look birth of a nation through mass incarceration
Cop car feeling
Like a ride on the slave ship
Twenty five to life in a cage I'll say
Who made America great when it was built by slaves
I'll never understand the pain to have a slave last name
Or be the product of rape in this white mans game
Shit is deep strange fruit hanging on the tree
Tiki torch reeks of that tall white sheet
And I don't like the smell of it clansmen delegates
Donkey or an elephant prolly both confederate
Another false narrative rebel flag heritage
Blood line marriages made an American
They don't get the bigger picture
Gotta tell another white friend not to say
Go figure
Only see a baller or a stripper
A rapper or a dealer
Yet you still get triggered
I'm so tired of the white lie bias
Same thing you want to pass down to you child
What about the poets and the scholars
Inventors and the authors
Supreme leading freedom fighting martyrs
That's real black excellence
This the remembrance
No more censorship welfare spending it
Health care plan don't plan for its citizens
Cell block resembling
The project building
But they say it's for the greater good
Gentrify the neighborhood
Want to raise rent but not everybody's paper good
Whitey on the moon they be whiting out the truth
And they lied to me too wasnt nothing I could do
It's more than just having a black friend or singing and rapping
Or knowing every hip hop classic
Who's willing to kneel march out in the field
Through any ordeal just to see how it feels
Man I'm sick of fake activist
They delay the catalyst
Blind eye pacifist bitching about Kaepernick
They ain't really down for the haul
Loot the capitol lawn
Sabotaging the cause
Now they calling SWAT
