lyrics

[Verse]
Crutches, crosses, caskets
Poetry, power, pistols blasting
Verses, stanzas turn to holy scriptures, chapters...
Reagan still got em fiendin',
Addiction, itching, scratching, pacing, twitching, fingers tapping
Trigger finger slipping, 4-5th's is clapping...It's dead bodies in the streets
All from bloods and crips n catholics, Christians, bitches, bastards
All courtesy of Richard Nixon
I mean, for real, how u think they killed the black panthers?
How u think they murdered Martin and Malcolm?
Divide and conquer, it's all simple mathematics
Give us section 8 housing then evict us
Uncle Sam teach em how to be a slave again
N take filing taxes out the curriculum
Delete it from the syllabus, Lauryn Hill's case wasn't a coincidence
Miseducation the difference
Racism still alive they just concealing it
The police target practicing on my silhouette
N that's a hell of a phrase to swallow
Kill a nigga today n get a raise tomorrow
Then pray to the savior, that he forgives u for killing another man
N that I forget u lynching my brother
And disrespecting my mother and raping my sister
Then exploiting the culture jus so u could get richer
And then got the nerve to wave a confederate flag in my face
N get mad when I got something to say
Like "Fuck the Police" and "Black Lives Matter"
"Black Power"...u see the pride in this black panther
Refusing to becoming just another statistic
A black rose the maneuvered the trenches
N came up out the concrete jus as Tupac prophesied
Lemme emphasize, the revolution won't be televised
It's too real and too necessary
Cuz too many brothers like myself in jail or in the cemetery
N it's too late to make us forget...
Because we already legendary
.......
Cuz legends never die
I said they try n take us out of history and make us forget
Problem is we already legendary
