lyrics

intro

See I been wrong all my life, living how the Romans advised
Been doing wrong to my people, I feel so hallow inside
I did not know bout self hatred until I open eyes
I could not walk without balling if it wasn't labeled wouldn't buy it

There was this void in my being thought I could fill it with pride
I ain't got no culture they told us, so yea I took it in stride
I kept a glock for them haters, big d for these niggas wives
Just oh so proud of my foolishness, wishing niggasll try it

I knew I wasn't the tuffest, and most these niggas wasn't either
I knew they carried them eagles, so I kept one to keep it equal
See my whole conscious was rooted in the doctrine of the evil
I thought with money I'd summon thee to worship me like Jesus

Couldn't understand I was famished from the commandments I broke From all the verses I blurted contradict the Most Merciful But the Most High prophesy that one day I'll open my eyes And spread the truth of his Jubilance And curses on His kind.

impromptu

(verse 2)
See way before our birth, we was cursed in this life
And our enemies knew it, they thought they could stupify us
See what they learned from nat turner is that these niggas'll riot
So they forbid us to read, our families got divided

The prophesies as described
In the book of Deuteronomy
our kids will be given unto the hands of our enemies
That's 28 chapter, and verse 32
Drop down to 48 and tell me who that sound like to you

Who else they put in them shackles
Who else they put on them ships
Who else worked hard as we did
What we got to show for it zip
Don't want no donkeys and acres
Just wanna get close to my maker
Because right now we forsaken
This is a call from his greatness

See I don't do this a lot, cuz I used to do it fa show
But now I do it for yah, so imma do it some mo
If you ain't keeping commandments It ain't too much you can tell me Had to cut off associates And the majority of family
