lyrics

So many faced with displacement/
Due to gentrification/
Housing discrimination, structural disintegration/
Don't rely on public education/
The government’ll deceive you it’s in they nature/
Do you practice what u preach that’s what matters to me/
Whatever image u perceived just detach it from me/
They placed shackles on our feet, we were beat/
Hosed in the street, we rose from defeat/
Rose to our feet, my ancestors live through me/
Vicariously/
Their pain runs through my veins, my blood runs deep/
You never lived your life in vain if you died to be free/
Thank you I know you fought for me/
Although we never met our spirits bound to meet/
Amongst uncertainty I found peace/
Everywhere I looked around i found grief, until I found me/
Dark forces started to surround me, hound me The God broke free/
I'm neva lookin down G, stay up/
The flow a layup but the bars deep/
Long range 30 feet Steph curry Sheesh/
Chickpea curry feast/
My worries buried my eyes were blurry from the grief/
Things I've seen have left me in disbelief/
I numbed myself to the world with the kush n grabba leaf even hashish/
Ahh Sheesh/ (yo)

[Bridge:]-
From Africa to the concrete/
Both jungles where we eat, but its a different beast/
We all march to the same drum different beat/
To every black man woman and child I spread peace and love/
To every corner every street/
Love 2 Haiti peace 2 all my black people/
In this war against love I attack evil/
Even when unstable we were never feeble/
We could've fought back when attacked we remained peaceful/
