(Nina Simone)
If I had my way
I'da been a killa
Okay
That's true
I woulda had guns
And I would have gone to the south
And gave em violence for violence
Shot gun for shot gun
If I had my way
But my husband
He told me
I didn't know anything about guns
And he refused to teach me
And the only thing I had was music
So I obeyed him
But if I had my way
I wouldn't be sitting here today
I'd be
Probably dead

What if this flag wasn’t Red White and Blue?
What if the black panthers still was the move?
What if yo big homies was Malcolm X
Muhammad Ali and Huey P Newton?
And that God you ask forgiveness for turns out to be you?
And what if killin' yo own kind meant that you instantly die ?
And rape yo mother land and Queen and call her history now?
Imagine that nose that got shot off the Sphinx look just like mine
And no religion existed
No queen of England just some Kings Of Egypt
What if yo last name wasn’t yo slave masters?
And being born with dark skin made you Royal family
Imagine every face on this money was someone you was related to
And ropes around ya neck was always gold and not for hanging you
Yeah
You get the Klu cuz only a chicken Klux in a Klan
Burn down ya village and give everyone Afrikan names
See wife and kid and fuck em both
You on boat wit that shit
Uncle Sam really yo Auntie and life ain't a bitch
Kidnap then let you off the rope
Then go hunt for yo ass
Teach you a prayer so you're basically callin' me dad
Pimping at its finest
Gotta you loving this flag that I’m flying
Think that I’m lying
The game is over
I’ll take Nina Simone over Oprah
Mummification dripped in jewels thrown in the ocean over
Coffins in soil dressed like the enemy that controls us
Spiritual activation over vaccinations
Assassinations and pinky rings over chockers
N***a I’d rather
Pennies in penny loafers from JCPenny's and read or hear anything quoted from Deepak Chopra over and over
Over walking in churches just to notice that
Jesus still don’t look like anyone of my fucking uncles
Wakanda foreva

As long as Diamonds are forever we dying forever
La Familia not familiar with riding together
That red and blue got PTSD from LAPD
If I was banging wouldn’t B no C's
E-n-e mies
Ice cream man
Mastered pushing p’s and seeing murder
Flip a bitch before I flip a burger
One initiation under God mercy on me

Blood and Crip Bang it out
But we don't shoot police cars
Suit n tie politicians smile and get to sleep more
Killas amugst us
Killamonger Michael B. Jordan
I ain’t christian
So it’s pitch the the Di-or push the B-ball
Blood say the alphabet is A-B-B
C it from the other side
He Crip so hard he never Red a book
Kill ya family working with that white that’s how you kill a king
Billion n***as in the same boat that’s how my people sink
Come here laying on ya back
Exactly how you n***as leave
Look how we bleed
The same Blood under this Blue sky
N***a this shit been all up in ya face before this FaceTime
Pledge allegiance to the United Gangs with a Gang sign

The streets is calling I can feel it in yo area
Darker knights approach us the biggest joke is on you now
Lace a n***a game up I’m tied of dying like hippy shirts
If we don’t kill each other this money and drugs gon' do for now
How we scared of C-O-P but P-O-P yo relative?
How we black but distant from those Pyramids we look like them?
Why the only continents that end with can are African and north and South American
What makes you think my n***as can’t ?
This shit is deeper than the system is
This shit is rigged
We playing a game that wasn’t meant to win its meant for them
Meant for yo miseducation
Belief in a bathing of baptism
Wrapped in this shit like a peppermint you been saving for Sunday
How we going further when we keep running in circles?
I’m certain we in a circus that's prostitution for sheep now
Cradle to the cradle
Spoken like I’m woken
But you actually have to be dead before a wake
I say what I see is needed
Say what I say to not just live in repeat
Something needed from me it’s easy to see from where you see it
Don’t test my Gangsta I am adult to your quarantine
I mean
How them my four fathers?
We speak English
But neva been to England
You sprinkle in some poison
That's mid evil shit
Still the biggest threat and weapon they designed to sever
Most hated in the world
A black man in Amerika

Scenario
You black so if you ain’t black
You hate the thought of seeing someone that ain’t a n***a
In power
Louder the voice the
Bigger the gun with the powder
How is it harder to love and
Easy to take everything from the
Root to the flowers
The food from the mouth and
Any truth you amount to
I silence your tongue and force you to doubt it
Then hate your self and start talking like me

You get the Klu cuz only a chicken Klux in a Klan
Burn down ya village and give everyone Afrikan names
See wife and kid and fuck em both you on boat with that shit
Uncle Sam really yo Auntie and life ain’t a bitch
Kidnap then let you off the rope then go hunt for ass
Teach you a prayer so your basically calling me dad
Pimping at its finest
Gotta you loving this flag that I’m flying
Think that I’m lying

The game is over
I’ll take Nina Simone over Oprah
Mummification dripped in jewels thrown in the ocean over
Coffins in soil dressed like the enemy that controls us
Spiritual activation over vaccinations
Assassination and pinky rings over chockers
N***a I’d rather
Pennies in penny loafers from JCPenny 's
And read or hear
Anything quoted from Deepak Chopra over and over
Over walking in churches just to notice that Jesus still don’t look like anyone of my fucking uncles

As long as Diamonds are forever we dying forever
La Familia not familiar with riding together
That red and blue got Pstd from Lapd
We'll take this land back
It's either now or never
Soon as them bandanas get tied together
