Here we go here here we go again
Trayvon'll never get to be an older man
Black children they childhood stole from them
Robbed of our names and our language stole again
Who stole the soul from black folk
Same man that stole the land from Chief Black Smoke
And made the whip crackle on our back slow
And made us go through the back door
And raffle black bodies on the slave blocks
Now we slave to the blocks on 'em we spray shots
Leaving our own to lay in a box
Black mother's stomachs stay in a knot
We kill each other it's part of the plot
I wish the hating will stop war
And the battle with us
I know that Black lives matter and they matter to us
These are the things we gotta discuss
The new plantation mass incarceration
Instead of educate they'd rather convict the kids
As dirty as the water in Flint the system is
Is it a felony or a misdemeanor
Maria Sharapova making more than Serena
It took Viola Davis to say this
The roles of the help and the gangsters is really all they gave us
We need Avas Ta Nehisis and Cory Bookers
The salt of the Earth to get us off of sugar
And greasy foods
I don't believe the news or radio stereotypes we refuse
Brainwashed in the cycle to spin
We write our own story black America again
You know One way of solving a lot of problems
That we've got is lettin' a person feel
That they're important and a man can't get himself together
Until he knows who he is and be proud of what
And who he is and where he come from
And where he come from
Hot damn black America again
Think of Sandra Bland as I'm staring in the wind
The color of my skin they comparing it to sin
The darker it gets the less fairer it has been
The hate the hate made I inherited from them
But I ain't gon' point the finger we got annointed singers
Like Nina Marvin Billie Stevie
Need to hear them songs sometimes to believe me
Who freed me Lincoln or Cadillac
Drinking or battle raps or is it Godspeed that we travel at
Endangered in our own habitat
The guns and d**e man y'all can have it back
As a matter of fact we them lab rats
You build the projects for now you want your hood back
I guess if you could rap you would express it too
That PTSD we need professionals
You know what pressure do it make the pipes bust
From schools to prison y'all they tryna pipe us
Tell your political parties invite us
Instead of making voting laws to spite us
You know you know we from a family of fighters
Fought in your wars and our wars
You put a ni**a in Star Wars maybe you need two
And then maybe then we'll believe you
See black people in the future
We wasn't shipped here to rob and shoot ya
We hold these truths to be self evident
All men and women are created equal including black Americans
You know you know you know One way of solving a lot of problems
That we've got is to let a person feel like somebody
And a man can't get himself together
Until he knows who he is and be proud of what and who he is
And where he come from and where he come from
We are rewriting the black American story
We are rewriting the black American story
We are rewriting the black American story
We are rewriting the black American story
We are rewriting the black American story
We are rewriting the black American story
We are rewriting the black American story
We are rewriting the black American story
We are rewriting the black American story
We are rewriting the black American story
We are rewriting the black American story
We are rewriting the black American story
