The DAWN of the New Negro Spreading the feeling of morning, making murder legal They ain't vigilant like an eagle They fly'n around always talk'n loud like a seagull Acting like Steven Segal Scripted violence portrayed as reasonable We pleaded for enforcing the law Not forcing the wrong to be murdered by y'all ----- Wait - 5O, illicit means Wait - choke hold, can't you breath Wait - body cold, but my fist ain't weak I'd rather strike the air than strike the air outta yo teeth I would even admit defeat by taking a knee Man just please, don't take my Gs You ain't never heard a black man smoke'n a white man Or offing him for any reason ----- Its ideology versus the inner black in me Its terminology versus the inner black in me Its anthropology versus the inner black me When we're all the same except for how we're seen You see a girl with skin like mine and finna imply That she a H-O-E But you'on know that she be rep' n that H-O-E Happiness Over Everything can't you see ----- The colour of my skin was never a decision We were cooked by the sun and the fields were the kitchen If it was white and black, why would anybody listen But its black and white, you either with it or against it ----- Brothers and sisters be the bricks of building If history taught me anything, it's to listen If his story taught me anything It's more of a need than a protocol to make a hit ----- How you think we feel visiting the States When a vaca would feel like betting the stakes On my black a$$, soon as I board my pass I'd prolly be caught in the crossfire with Hitman ----- Agent 47 for the seven negros who just landed Waiting for a chance to start subtracting I know it sound fall for, but how would you ignore The possibilities considered to be a norm ----- They really got us in a loop I'm starting to see why the matrix rules But wha's the use if you don't use all that power To share the freedom opposed to racism ----- What, you wanna eradicate the minority? You think we wouldn't notice how slowly You been executing yo plans And being the executioners for The Man, goddamn ----- Matter of fact, the fact that I adapted the act To sound like I was at raised in yo cul-de-sac Make my stomach acids react In a way that makes me feel like I was putting on an act To show that you are the kings of the masks Say one thing then do a different act Set a rule and do the opposite of that I applaud yo hypocrisy and deceit of yo liberty crap ----- You got my own kind begging to live, begging for change Begging for the end of the debate Debate be a downgrade It's more of an equality conflict, I must say You gotta find another way To bring peace to your land and honor its name It's clear that if you don't then you'll conjure up a civil war That will destroy yo enitre land
