Story behind the song
Rough draft for the Gahds @ UGHH
Lyrics
I hear u talking bout love but walking in pure hatred
Stranded in this matrix – brainwashed and stripped naked
Searching for the basics - beyond the ever present [a gift]
The scene shifts so swift – you cant fake it
Lets take it – to a level that the world couldn’t reach
Convincing weaker minds to wage war for peace
Guerillaz in desert heat duck shots like city streets
Can’t tell the Middle East from the belly of the beast
At least give me a reason that justifies ya treason
Cuz the news every evening reads – Negroes are back in season
Im leaving – packing my bags – waiting for the Mother ship
To come back cross the sea and take a month long trip
I wish! – but lifes a dream of a home I’ve neva seen
Uncaged but still sing about the lost crowns of Kings
And Queens – it still stings – these freedom rings don’t bling
cuz speaking on peace and love is still a dangerous thing
HOW DO WE GET BACK TO WHERE WE’VE NEVA BEEN
TRYING TO REVERSE A TREND THAT WAS FATHERED IN SIN
FROM MY BIRTH TAUGHT I WAS CURSED IN THIS SKIN-SO ONCE AGAIN
I FIGHT TO STOP THE MADNESS BUT DON’T KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN
I’ve heard enough rhetoric from H.N.I.C.’s
Unelected but selected to speak for lil ole me – [please]
How many times you gotta get stabbed in the back to fight
Recognize all the wrongs and take a stand for ya rights
Chasing the glamorous life embracing clamor and strife
Nearly reached the mountain top but we abandoned the plight
Running blind in the night like our forefathers in shackles
Making brothas role models cuz they can shake off a tackle?!
Yeah they called off the dogs – but still quick to attack you
Cuz Dr. King should mean more than a picture or statue
But don’t think I’m mad at you / I’m just ready for change
Waiting for someone to say aint it a little bit strange
That: cooked and powdered coke carry different penalties
That: people that lack morals are made celebrities
That: a man that tells the truth can be made the enemy
That: someone will be rewarded for killin’ 'N!gg*rs' like me
HOW DO WE GET BACK TO WHERE WE’VE NEVA BEEN
TRYING TO REVERSE A TREND THAT WAS FATHERED IN SIN
FROM MY BIRTH TAUGHT I WAS CURSED IN THIS SKIN-SO ONCE AGAIN
I FIGHT TO STOP THE MADNESS BUT DON’T KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN
