1960 Lyrics by Ravenous

[INTRO]
1960
We got Nelly k in the studio, gwampy too
Yeah ,check it
Verse One]
My picture's painted
In Blood & mud , a different texture
Magnify the detail , you get blown away by the bigger picture
1960 was the year of independance
Who knew that African men
Could ever be masters
For us to own masters
We did'nt feel the pain but the wound started to get infected
Along the way
Shit was'nt gon'be the same
The strain if niggas growin up
Into slavery as if our genes
Have got a memory & still remember vividly - 1960
6-9 souls , shot infront'a police station
All because they wanted
To be free
Only thing that they was
Askin for was the key
The art of us still reaping
The benefits in poverty - so we flee
From our minds
If only we knew that this
Life is like monopoly
You gotta sell what is uniwue
That is the only way
You gonna reach your peak
And so to speak may it be , i pierce your soul
Only to heal it
I know someone who been outa steal it
Same reason that ma niggas still stuck in the state of mind
That they losin they're minds
Subconciously keepin themselves behind
Now back to the massacre
That left a massive scar
Only because of the pass law
The ville flooded in blood
Does Cole feel that ?
Does cold feel like that ?
Some blues got the whole world dressed in all black
Attire , i was born tired
But descended so i could never retire
Got the drive even on a flat tyre , i inspire
It's me you should admire nigga , cause i was born for this
[Verse two]
Seventeen african countries
Declared independance
Finally in some of our land we ain't tenants
It's 1960 baby
It's 1960 baby
Don't belong to no nappy nigga
Nobody to pull the trigger
No more sippin on wasted liwour
Things only gettin better
19600 - the last knot crossed
That's for the one's that lost their lives
Tryna tie the knot , so we did'nt have to be on the same spot
My worst fear
Was growin up only to crack under pressure
And smoke crack like the other niggas
But as time went - learnt to be real to myself
To a different measure ....
