[Intro: Kanye/ Farrakhan]
Kanye: Slavery for 400 years! For 400 years?
That sound like a choice
Like you was there for 400 years and it's all of y'all?
Farrakhan: 400 years... and he misspoke cuz we didn't choose slavery
C'mon now nobody that loves freedom would choose slavery
But it was a choice but it wasn't our choice
[Verse: CJay]
I aspire to gain my own land, since a day old our brains were programmed
The only difference is they brainwashed til they an old man
Clearly I want the paper but when I see labor oh damn
Woke when I quit my job cuz I ain't gon slave for no man
You think you wavy no chance I wouldn't pay for those pants
Appeance matter, I'm still fly like a plane that won't land
We have to be shackled in order for my race to hold hands
Had a choice to pursue your dreams but you ain't taking no chance
If you'd acknowledge that knowledge is power
You wouldn't work at McDonalds 8 dollars an hour you might as well follow
Your dreams, intrigued, don't be surprised what you might accomplish
I'm prompted to call you out as a coward you not as solid
Now your grown, every excuse is "If I'd have known"
Blaming all your failures on your children leave that child alone
Not his fault you have to pay that fifty thousand dollar loan
Blame your baby mama should've convinced her to swallow more
You amateur, bread soaken by these scandalous whores
This man is poor to make matters worse, you still a janitor
You could've ran a store, make a 100 grand or more but still in the strip club throwing 1's that you can't afford
I ain't saying my life was all glam before
Wear the same shirt til my T wrecks Tyrannosaurus
Try to picture you coming out of them phantom doors
Pusha a Lamborghini Aventador and a Porsche Well I'm not that delusional
Where we locked at is a Rubix cube: basically a block that confuses you
Listen, learn, you got that? niggas get they Self shot, usually these cops act unusual
His step dad fucking his mom til her voice is hoarse
You 27 now unemployed for sure
His mother baby'd him up his whole life that boy matured
You don't have to be a slave til you die, the choice is yours
Everybody got a problem with Ye's popular phrase
