Frederick Douglass Said It

Yeah

The biggest deception is that people do not care

Be aware we are here
The despair that you fear
We’re prepared to prepare you

We’re here just to share with you
The traps that are ensnaring you
The unknowns that’s scaring you

Our purpose is not surface
It is deep and it is urgent
We can see that you are hurting
Try to cut through like a surgeon

But our scalpel is not sharp enough

Our lasso is not far enough

Wе wrestle with DEVILS the onеs out and the ones inside of us

Scarring us

Each gun shot that rings out is jarring us

We still remember the days White People Feathered and tarring us

Days when EVEN THE LAWS said it’s just THEM and not an US

Since then we’ve been on the backs of buses when there’s not a bus

Frustrations will even make a Christian man learn how to cuss

Poverty in our spirits so like squirrels we just gotta nut

Men become like wedgies

Steady going in and out of butts

Women become possessed with all the demons cumming from out of us

And it’s real

The battles never been more realer

We’ve been partying and dancing so long

But the wars still going on

The wars still going on

Wars still going on (uh huh)

Pick up your sword now

Frederick Douglass Said it

Its easier to build

Strong children

Than it is
To repair

Broken men

The mountains so high we wonder where to begin?

The White man’s happiness cannot be won

By the Black man’s misery cuz all us are ONE

I thought we done learned this from past things that’s done

African is where every race comes from

There’s a race to be run!

Africa’s my origin but that home Ive never known
Only what I’ve read myself
Only what I’m told and shown
I guess that’s why my mind roam lately I’ve been so sedated
Guess that’s how I cope with my history being annihilated
This is what I bring to the team
Passion, purp and leadership
Every 48 hours we snitch when we should plead the fifth
See that white girl take a sniff
See that white horse, need a lift
Cocaine never been my thang
But that Mary Jane, we can burn a spliff
When I see the law I turn and dip

This ish is like A habit now
I’m mashin out
We don’t need no racist cop to pat us down
No Crip or blood just camouflage
My daddy was in Vietnam
Some were taught to kill themselves
I was trained for my Race To Run

Frederick Douglass Said it

Its easier to build

Strong children

Than it is
To repair

Broken men

The mountains so high we wonder where to begin?

By the Black man’s misery cuz all us are ONE
