Dynasty

[Intro]
I’m seeing all the tats on your arm of the hieroglyph, but I’m not buyin’ shit
Yeah I’m seeing all the clothes that you rock with the big stock Pharaoh on ‘em here’s the problem
This culture’s not a costume yeah for you to consume just when you please it
Tell me to walk like an Egyptian and I might just walk your ass to Egypt

[Verse 1]
Show you how they living without the freedom
Where the leaders never leadin’ when you need ‘em
And the people in the streets they weep for reason
Protest til the higher powers free them
Man what kinda life is that to live from day to day?
You never seen corruption like one they can face
You never seen destruction in that fatal way
Can bit by bit just dump your faith away
But really you don’t care, what’s the meaning of it all?
They portray us with facades, steady screening on the wall
Clichés everyday, intervening with the cause
That we’re tryna move it forward steady dreaming of the thought
Thoughts of evolution to carry what is written
They still cast white guys to play us Egyptians?
Yeah, it’s like I’m not right shit to fill my own position
But I stay fightin’ for that tradition, so I never listen, just listen

[Pre-Hook]
We, never wanted you to love us I said
We, were tryna make it through the come up I said
We, never wanted you to love us
But you can’t take nothing from us
This the future we been promised
(And we still say)

[Hook] x2
Dynasty, dynasty, can you ride with me?
(And we still say)
Dynasty, in my dynasty, can you ride with me?
(And we still say)
Dynasty, dynasty, can you ride with me?
(And we still say)
Dynasty, in my dynasty, can you ride with me?

[Verse 2]
But even over there they want to flee it
Over here they tellin' me to love or leave it
Brown skin they don’t even wanna see it
Tell Pauline please explain your reason
What you want me out for?
My complexion is a blessing
You oppressing the young kings, I must confess it
You don’t really wanna see 'em all aggressive
And you don’t really wanna know just who you messin’ with
Now tell me what you really wanna do now?
It’s on the table really it’s your move now
All your people man they telling me to move out
Was born up in this bitch you got me hot ain’t gonna cool down
I'm trapped inside with no ransom
My soul is woke, you being poked by the phantom
They all provoked and turning boats ‘cause they can
Don’t stall me bro, and you can that ol' Hanson we, never

[Hook] x2
