[Intro]
It's the message man
I'm telling you what to do, and you do it (yes sir) (you too)
Even if I don't tell you what to do, you still do it
Cause you know what it is that needs to be done (yeah, son)

[Verse 1]
The world turnin, the tree burnin
I'm out my mind
Look deep into the future, who know what you'll find
Time flying, just kick back and suck it up
The major labels blind, they don't even know what's up
They let a real n***a pass cause they dumb as fuck
I'm doper than glass
The summer coming up
I need 30s baby, maybe 32s
Pass me the torch, promise that I'a never lose
Never let you down
Probably let off a round, cause I'm off a pound
I'm after thе crown, surprise I ain't got it
Sunni Islam, follow the prophet
Young and dеsperate out chea
Talking about tools was sharpened
You know what I'm sayin?
By a lady who cared about me
Thinkin to myself, her life without me
Dig into my soul, the mic without me
I'm outta control, to smoke surround me
Maybe I should stop, just lounge and call B
Or should I write to Hus' to call me
Cause I can't keep throwin my life away
Skatin on thin ice today
I would really like to say...a lot more but I'm holdin back
Cause they shoot out heroes down when they 'sposin facts
Brothers see me in their war killing foes wit straps
Or wit a sack of dope, killing fiends with that
Or anything to keep me from my dreams I guess
They think they seen it all but they ain't seen the best
The Hyphy movement cool but you ain't seen that shit
The mob shit boy, the real respect
The streets love us for real
Out of 5 brothers, 2 of us in jail
Lookin out for others, no one can compare
The love for the game
The cold night air
Hennessey really make me forget I'm there
Passed out in the front seat of my car; that was a stupid move
I hum to Allah, I'm still here
Anything can happen when you out here trappin
Look at the hood, we damn near trapped in
E pills doing what Crack did back then
I'm so fluent with slanging Crack goddamn
[Hook]
Warrior, African warrior
Trapped in America
Gotta take your mind back
Do you know who you are?
You don't know who you are
Follow me I'll lead the way
African warrior, African warrior
Trapped in America
Gotta take your mind back

[Verse 2]
Searching for a line; the streets dry as fuck
Gotta watch my back, ain't know who I can trust
Trya put you in the game and you ride on us
Satellites aimed down on our heads
Never lookin up cause I know they there
My life so cold, you see it in my stare
Black and unaware is who I'm not
So I'm who you fear when I'm on top
You can murder me but never kill my thoughts
The memory of Huey P. and my pops
I'm hella dope, I hope the world just remember me
I Praise Allah makes a lot, but I been a G

[Interlude]
Yeah, it's a true story man
African man, African black man man
Gotta wake up man, wake the game up
[Hook]
Warrior, African warrior
Trapped in America
Gotta take your mind back
Do you know who you are?
You don't know who you are
Follow me I'll lead the way
African warrior, African warrior
Trapped in America
You gotta take your mind back

[Instrumental]
