(intro)
246 years in chains, subjected to hard labor
100 more years, without safety nor equal rights
52 years of systematic racism and false imprisonment
that’s 398 years of affliction since 1619
despite all the terror inflicted upon us
they still couldn’t k!ll us

(break)
aiyo what’s up with all that slavery talk mane?

cause i’m tryna tell our people that we all come from a nation of survivors, and warriors
so regardless of whatever situation arises we can make things happen, if
we stop letting our pride and stupid -ss disagreements get in the way

(verse)
inside divide
house n-gga versus black pride
be pc or get fired
walking a fine line

viewing your own skin tone as a liability
adversity
got you second guessing all your abilities

when you at your best
the rest just can’t compete
why you think the world gotta use you to eat

we the salt of the earth
but pride has been our downfall
coming together being humble
solve it all

(break)
what you mean “we the salt of the earth?

without us, civilization wouldn’t be what it is today
if we get our community together, there’s no limit
to what we can do

(verse 2)
another day, another dollar
and you still broke
tryna keep your head above water
you starting to choke

you wanna upgrade
but keep on encountering setbacks
that makes it hard
for a man of your stature to relax

now you gotta face facts on the road to a million
that ain’t nothin
you compare that to 100 billion

now hear this
money only a tool
get the proper amount
then you can make up all the rules

school
now i’m all for obtaining all knowledge
i’m against spending my life savings to go to college

all for a piece of paper to certify
that i’m
qualified
to beg somebody to hire

another year closer to the cemetery
young black male
age don’t matter
it’s hereditary

i ain’t never been to jail
being broke
is comparable to sitting in a jail cell

and now all i do is daydream
bout a house no bills
ain’t got worry bout none of these sirens

know what i mean when i say
i gotta get paid
working 9 – 5
slaving for minimal wage

living in a cage
they look at me as an animal
another sub human
they comparing me to hannibal
lecter

i hope you taking notes from this lecture
we gotta play chess
put away all of them checkers

(break)
ain’t n0body got time for no chess n-gga, now checkers
thats for real n-ggas

that’s the problem, stop thinking like a real n-gga. with checkers, you
only thinking about the next move, its like living paycheck to
paycheck without making investments. with chess thats how all these other folks stay ahead of us all these years

(verse 3)
my skin is my sin
that’s something i’ve heard plenty
seems like the whole world
had made itself my enemy

black on black crime
man that gotta cease
we need peace
they declared war
forget the beef

they sent in the swat
to k!ll our children at grandma’s
got a gun license
here they come with more drama

that fentanyl epidemic
is making them die quick
fear of retaliation
is why they actin like this

(outro)
i don’t think you should be saying all that fam
them; white folks ain’t gon like that

bruh
i don’t understand how you can grab a pistol
and k!ll someone who looks like you
who probably came from the same background
who is more than likely stuck in the same situation

but if i point out how everyone who treats us like sh-t
like we still their property
steadily taking advantage

are getting their karma
and their payback from yahuah himself
you got a problem with that

make that make sense fam
