What’s the move
What’s the move
Hold the phone, Imma need my paper from the loot
Shake the room
Shake the room
Tell em bruh, Imma need my reparations soon nigga
Bust a move
Bust a move
Listen man, Imma need some bands from the loot
Shake the room
Shake the room
Tell em bruh, Imma need my reparations
[Verse 1: Alex Forte]
They say uh, I came from Slaveships, Blood Crips, broke as shit
Damn bro, America has been on some goofy shit
Run the clip, we gon’ show a movie
Hide ya kids and hide ya wife, its gon’ be a doozy
I’ve been having PTSD from uh, Rosewood and Tulsa
I’m serious this should of had way more exposure
Left us in misery, burned all our history
Nowadays, media controls white supremacy
Like we ain’t built this land but for the free tho
How is my, people still dying from the police folk
Well, its bout to change bro
Call me the new Django
We gon’ light this bitch up for some pesos
[Hook]
What’s the move
What’s the move
Hold the phone, Imma need my paper from the loot
Shake the room
Shake the room
Tell em bruh, Imma need my reparations soon nigga
Bust a move
Bust a move
Listen man, Imma need some bands from the loot
Shake the room
Shake the room
Tell em bruh, Imma need my reparations
[Verse 2: Prince Black]
Yo yo yo
Do me a favor homie
Run me my paper
Yeah you know you owe me from all my ancestors labor
Say aye
Ain’t these same crackers that tried to hold us back
Threw us in the projects, took resources then they showed us crack
Overseer officers pull us over and show us straps
And I can’t show emotions cause that for sure just gon’ show I’m black
Facts
They killed Martin and Malcolm x
Whitewash the texts then blurred our accomplishments
Facts
Religion versus our common sense
They burned a white Jesus to the front of our consciousness
Goddamn
And we still facing discrimination
Mass incarceration while outrunning these racists
So, what’s the move, what’s the move
Pay what you owe, I can’t leave that to you
So, what’s the word, what’s the word
Paybacks a bitch but she’s sweet ya ain’t heard
