Did we just wake up and have a revelation That we were still slaves on a plantation That my skin color lowered expectation And automatically classified me As a ni**er that has a tendency To go on a killing spree and live recklessly And not care about nobody but me And for you to sit there and judge me Because I'm not the proper skin color So that must mean I'm wilder than the others
Did we just wake up and have a revelation That we're still slaves on a plantation And that the skin color of my president Didn’t represent me As he has his own agenda And it didn't include me For the whites of their eyes To look at me And see a ni**er that's threatening His better half must have got the best of him Because the best of them living among the rest of us No sepereation as they continue on living And that's more than I can say for the rest of us.
Did we just wake up and have revelation That we are still slaves on a plantaion And so I ask What makes today so different? What makes Today so just Or is it jus us that don't see the justice in the system Down we're finally breaking free From all lies, that we were forced to eat And became constipated with stupidity It took a video to be our laxitive? As if we didn't live day to day I'm still left wondering Why today?
