Everybody screaming that my people need a change, but they don't wanna be it they just wanna see it made, man I can't believe it how we even get this way, aye we was yelling power to the people like, just the other day,
Say what happened to that black power, what happened to that black love (2x)
[verse]
Suit and tie affair, you and I was there, FOI prepared,
colored only entrance to our wishing well,
below the Mason Dixie belt, you had to defend yourself,
thriving black businesses would burn, no they didn't help,
hell, you know they lit the shit themselves, made em filled with pride, here's the kicker thou, most them folks is still alive,
and they had children what you think they taught them different, naw, we dealing with the same system pimping they just shifted laws,
but that don't change the hearts of man at all,
we the only people they can't seem to leave alone,
I see Hispanic communities, Africans in unity,
and Asians seem to move with impunity
but you and me get beat down brutally,
drugged up usually,
educated foolishly, it's fucked up truthfully,
but we so damn amazing we gon make it either way,
might not be in our lifetime but that's ok
