[00:00:20] Here we go here here we go again

[00:00:23] Trayvon'll never get to be an older man

[00:00:26] Black children they childhood stole from them

[00:00:28] Robbed of our names and our language stole again

[00:00:31] Who stole the soul from black folk

[00:00:33] Same man that stole the land from Chief Black Smoke

[00:00:35] And made the whip crackle on our back slow

[00:00:37] And made us go through the back door

[00:00:38] And raffle black bodies on the slave blocks

[00:00:41] Now we slave to the blocks on 'em we spray shots

[00:00:44] Leaving our own to lay in a box

[00:00:46] Black mother's stomachs stay in a knot

[00:00:47] We kill each other it's part of the plot

[00:00:49] I wish the hating will stop war

[00:00:52] And the battle with us

[00:00:53] I know that Black lives matter and they matter to us

[00:00:56] These are the things we gotta discuss

[00:00:58] The new plantation mass incarceration

[00:01:01] Instead of educate they'd rather convict the kids

[00:01:04] As dirty as the water in Flint the system is

[00:01:06] Is it a felony or a misdemeanor

[00:01:09] Maria Sharapova making more than Serena

[00:01:11] It took Viola Davis to say this

[00:01:13] The roles of the help and the gangsters is really all they gave us

[00:01:17] We need Avas Ta Nehisis and Cory Bookers

[00:01:20] The salt of the Earth to get us off of sugar

[00:01:22] And greasy foods

[00:01:23] I don't believe the news or radio stereotypes we refuse

[00:01:27] Brainwashed in the cycle to spin

[00:01:29] We write our own story black America again

[00:01:32] You know One way of solving a lot of problems

[00:01:36] That we've got is lettin' a person feel

[00:01:40] That they're important and a man can't get himself together

[00:01:43] Until he knows who he is and be proud of what

[00:01:46] And who he is and where he come from

[00:01:50] And where he come from

[00:01:53] Hot damn black America again

[00:01:55] Think of Sandra Bland as I'm staring in the wind

[00:01:57] The color of my skin they comparing it to sin

[00:02:00] The darker it gets the less fairer it has been

[00:02:03] The hate the hate made I inherited from them

[00:02:05] But I ain't gon' point the finger we got annointed singers

[00:02:07] Like Nina Marvin Billie Stevie

[00:02:10] Need to hear them songs sometimes to believe me

[00:02:12] Who freed me Lincoln or Cadillac

[00:02:15] Drinking or battle raps or is it Godspeed that we travel at

[00:02:18] Endangered in our own habitat

[00:02:20] The guns and d**e man y'all can have it back

[00:02:22] As a matter of fact we them lab rats

[00:02:25] You build the projects for now you want your hood back

[00:02:27] I guess if you could rap you would express it too

[00:02:30] That PTSD we need professionals

[00:02:32] You know what pressure do it make the pipes bust

[00:02:35] From schools to prison y'all they tryna pipe us

[00:02:38] Tell your political parties invite us

[00:02:40] Instead of making voting laws to spite us

[00:02:43] You know you know we from a family of fighters

[00:02:45] Fought in your wars and our wars

[00:02:47] You put a ni**a in Star Wars maybe you need two

[00:02:51] And then maybe then we'll believe you

[00:02:53] See black people in the future

[00:02:55] We wasn't shipped here to rob and shoot ya

[00:02:58] We hold these truths to be self evident

[00:03:00] All men and women are created equal including black Americans

[00:03:04] You know you know you know One way of solving a lot of problems

[00:03:08] That we've got is to let a person feel like somebody

[00:03:13] And a man can't get himself together

[00:03:15] Until he knows who he is and be proud of what and who he is

[00:03:19] And where he come from and where he come from

[00:03:25] We are rewriting the black American story

[00:03:30] We are rewriting the black American story

[00:03:35] We are rewriting the black American story

[00:03:40] We are rewriting the black American story

[00:03:45] We are rewriting the black American story

[00:03:50] We are rewriting the black American story

[00:03:55] We are rewriting the black American story

[00:04:00] We are rewriting the black American story

[00:04:05] We are rewriting the black American story

[00:04:11] We are rewriting the black American story

[00:04:16] We are rewriting the black American story

[00:04:21] We are rewriting the black American story
