Hear Me Now

[Intro]
Yeah, yeah, check, check, check, yeah
Yeah
I don't even know how long I'ma go, it's just
Some shit on my chest
Watch me bench press, yo

[Verse 1]
I'm thankful for the honorable Elijah Muhammad
I learned to be a better Christian from his followers
I've been quarantined, I mean to get my power up
I've been with a queen, I'm king when I'm inside of her
Anytime I leave, she leave, the fear be lightin' up
'Cause they been puttin' knees on nеcks and heat inside of us, uh
Pardon me, I had to gеt right to it
Get a knife and stick the shit right through ‘em
Lord forgive me for my brash delivery
But I can see vividly what these crackers be giving we
They be settin' tables and leave a nigga the centerpiece
And say we eatin' in the same kitchen, is you kidding me?
The blacker the berry the sweeter the juice
But don't trip too hard 'cause they stealin' that too
I'm really in the post with this shit
But niggas go from AI to Tim McGraw quick
Vultures, vampires, they blood suckers
Eatin' off the culture and now they ain't saying nothin'
Takin' all the sugar and season from our cupboard
We covered in dead bodies, you covered in Warren Buffetts
We covered in disfunction you taught us, you gotta wear it
I promise it's up to us to do the work to get above it
We Trayvon, you McLovin
The world different when livin' in our colors

[Chorus]
You hear us now?
Burn the whole thing down, you hear me now, right?
You hear us now?
Burn the whole thing down, you hear me now, right?
Forgive 'em, Lord, they don't know that we birthed them
The light is on and they running over on curfew, but
You hear us now?
Burn the whole thing down, you hear me now, right?

[Verse 2]
I'ma tell you a secret
If 98% of blacks vote green, we put 'em all on the defense
Prevent, they been thieving, we ain't breakin' even
Gotta dismantle, make 'em come and see we then
But yo, we gotta do better, this be the V for Vendetta
They givin' cheddar but don't fall for the setup
Never lootin' for the loot, loose the noose, never let up
We pullin' up, mask on ‘til we get us the lettuce
And forty acres and a mule dawg
Never push a people with nothin' to lose, dawg
I know I'm cut from kings, but who is you, dawg?
A prayin' man that know it's beyond the pews, dawg
Don't get it confused, dawg
See what Daniel Cameron lackin' is a home cooked from a queen
Tell me what yo' mama think
'Bout you swaying grand juries while the pendulum swings in their favor
But it's cool, watch the fire we bring
Godly

[Chorus]
You hear us now?
Burn the whole thing down, you hear me now, right?
You hear us now?
Burn the whole thing down, you hear me now, right?
Forgive 'em, Lord, they don't know that we birthed them
The light is on and they running over on curfew, but
You hear us now?
Burn the whole thing down, you hear me now, right?

[Outro]
Is the sheep preaching hate
When he says, "I'm not gonna let the wolf eat me anymore
If the wolf comes in here, next time he comes in here
I'll do whatever I have to do to keep him off my back?"
Is the sheep violent, or is the wolf the violent one?
He wasn't teaching hate, he was teaching common sense
You know, somebody's knocking you over the head, stop him
Do whatever you have to do to stop him
You know, the ones that were knocking him over the head were afraid of the fact that he might swing back
So they said, "Nah, he's teaching hate, he's violent"
