VERSE ONE
SO ANYBODY KNOW WHAT OUR NATION CONSISTS OF? WEBSTER’S MEANING VERSE THE DREAMING - IM SURE WE GOT RIPPED OFF. CONFUSED AS A LITTLE CHILD NOT KNOWING WHERE TO BELONG. FIGHT OUR FIRE WITH FIRE AS OUR RIGHTS EXPIRE I ASPIRE TO BE STRONG AND LIVE ON, DESPITE THE HATE I BOND. A RIPPLE IN A RIVER CAUSES A WAVE OF DESTRUCTION
SO I GRAB A BOARD AND SURF ON AND RIP ON - IN A TUBE OF TURBULENCE WITH VERBAL HERBALISTS. USING MY WORDS AGAINST A MURDERER’S, BUT FAR FROM “HE SAY, SHE SAY.” THE FACTS EMBEDDED IN OUR HISTORY’S REPLAY AND WE PLAY THE GAME OF EACH DAY. WE AINT ON OUR KNEES BUT WE PRAY, AND WE PRAY, FOR A BETTER DAY- HEY…
HOOK-
WHATS OUR NATION REALLY GIVEN? NO TRUST, NO LOVE…
INTERVENING WITH OUR CHILDREN, NO JUST, JUST US…
LETS BUILD A MOVEMENT OF THE WILLING, DESTROY THE EVIL VILLIAN AND BRING OUR NATIONS BACK (BACK), GOD WILLING…
VERSE 2
YEH THEY CAPTIVATED, CULTIVATED HATE AND PUT US IN JAIL. NOW WE PACK THE PRISONS - ACTIVE IN OUR ACTIVISM OUT ON BAIL. YEH THEY PRAY WE FAIL AND TALK ABOUT OUR PAIN FOREVER TRAPPED IN A NEVER EVER ENDING STORY. TELL THE TALE OF “POOR ME” INSTEAD OF PRIDE AND GLORY. PUT THAT BULLSHIT BEFORE ME, PERFORMING LIKE YOU WANT IT. SHIT OUR PAIN RUNS DEEP AND ITS AS DEEP AS IT CAN BE, BUT THAT DON’T MAKE US WEAK, YOUNG WARRIORS SEEKING PEACE. YEH YOU’D RATHER SEE ME SCREAM MY FEARS AND WHISPER MY SUCCESSESS. YOU’D RATHER SEE MY PEOPLE KILLED THAN FLOURISH IN OUR ESSENCE. YEH WERE HONOURED, WE ON IT, TO BE A PART OF THE NEXT GENERATION TAKING BACK OUR NATIONS. WE GET NO REST…

VERSE 3
SO IM MOVING WITH THE MOVEMENT BY CHOSING WHAT I CAN DO, MAN. YOUNG BLACK BROTHERS AND SISTERS WE COMING THROUGH AND, AINT NO TIME TO CHILL LETS BUILD, AYO FOR REAL… YO THEY STILL KILL, STILL STEAL - NO TREATY JUST THEM BARS OF STEAL. WHAT THE DEAL? AYO, YOU EITHER GET TO RUNNING YOUR OWN THING OR BE A MODERN DAY SLAVE MAN. YEH THE REAL KILLERS HIDE BEHIND A BADGE AND THEY CALL IT LAW MAN, BUT WE DON’T UNDERSTAND? OR YOU THINK WE DON’T, BUT WE DO (DO). YEH YOU THINK WE GOT THE PROBLEM BUT ITS YOU (YOU). IGNORING WHERE YOU COMING FROM- THE BABYLON OF RAGE YA’LL. GAME STILL THE SAME JUST A DIFFERENT DAY YA’LL. AND WE STILL HERE AND WE ALWAYS WILL BE. TRIED TO HIDE THE FACTS BUT THE FACT IS YOU KILL US FOR YOUR… (NATION) TRIED TO HIDE THE FACT BUT THE FACT IS YOU KILL US FOR YOUR… (NATION)
