Pro-gress Music Lyrics

It’s not protest music, it’s pro-gress music

Verse 1:
I’m done with the talkin’ and all the marchin’
I’m finished with Eric Dyson and Sharpton
I’m sick of the lyrics and all the arguin’
At the end of the day you tell me what is it solvin’?
Black lives don’t matter, not to the hogs and
Law enforcement, the government’s still sovereign
We still poor in ghettos and still starvin’
Still sayin’ “what’s goin’ on?” it’s still Marvin
We still waitin’ for Martin and Malcolm
Still pray for the day Lauryn bring a new album but
What does it matter? We sold rap for no-soul trap
And now it’s like our whole soul’s trapped
Blacks, waitin’ for the American dream
When it started as a nightmare when we hit the scene
But we continue to dream, dream for the day
That we will be accepted but I’m finished with that way ‘cause

Hook:
I don’t wanna struggle, I don’t wanna protest
I don’t wanna be a pawn, all I want is pro-gress
Pro-gress music, if you wanna grow, let’s grow, let’s do it
If you wanna pro-gress

I don’t wanna struggle, I don’t wanna protest
I don’t wanna be a pawn, all I want is pro-gress
Pro-gress music, if you wanna grow, let’s grow, let’s do it
If you wanna pro-gress

I think I’m ready for the race right now
I gotta move a different way right now
A new maneuver to the game right now
Right now, right now

I think I’m ready for the race right now
I gotta move a different way right now
A new maneuver to the game right now
Right now, right now

Verse 2:
Lookin’ at old episodes of Donahue
Wonderin’ what is it blacks really tryna do
Same crooked cops back in the ‘90s too
We still beggin’ for change, this sh*t is comical
KRS wrote “Black Cop,” did that stop?
And NWA plus we had Pac
I love Rolland Martin and his ascot
He smart but if he got smart with cops he’d get his a** shot
So many black millionaires swear they have guap
Compared to white billionaires, you don’t have squat
No black community, all we have is a trap spot
That’s why n*ggas get murdered and no one ask why
Why we talk about the struggle never progress?
Words are powerful silly but I digress
I’m done with the struggle and the nonsense
Yes a change gonna come but it’ll come when we stop this

Hook:
I don’t wanna struggle, I don’t wanna protest
I don’t wanna be a pawn, all I want is pro-gress
Pro-gress music, if you wanna grow, let’s grow, let’s do it
If you wanna pro-gress

I don’t wanna struggle, I don’t wanna protest
I don’t wanna be a pawn, all I want is pro-gress
Pro-gress music, if you wanna grow, let’s grow, let’s do it
If you wanna pro-gress

Verse 3:
[?] lookin’ at the older me, disgusted totally
But that’s ‘cause it wasn’t told to me
I never thought I’d grow to be this much of a realist
But as time goes on you learn what the deal is
Progress, is really a mindset
My people used to be slaves, we still ain’t get eyes yet
If the dream is real we still ain’t in Oz yet
We still stuck in Kansas talkin’ to Aunt Em
Maybe we should let go of Kemet, accept that it’s finished
Then in our minds we can reinvent it
We got no business waitin’ for another Malcolm X
You need to get that silly fantasy from out your head
‘cause weak people need leaders to lead people
They gave their lives now it’s up to weak people
Progress, that’s ownership
Slaves, gets off the ship and own the ship
Progress

Hook:
I think I’m ready for the race right now
I gotta move a different way right now
A new maneuver to the game right now
Right now, right now

I think I’m ready for the race right now
I gotta move a different way right now
A new maneuver to the game right now
Right now, right now

So no more panels and constant discussions, it’s goin’ nowhere, right now it’s time for some pro-gress, progress, how ever you wanna say it, listen, you learn from your past so you can change your present, change your future, so no more protests, it’s time for some pro-gress
