lj iii – black america lyrics
wasn’t poor, but far from the richest
daddy came out the hood to the fences
suburban living with exposure to the city
see them stunt like this community was gritty
couple of them had the straps and rap music added flash
’cause when you black and middle cl-ss
the hood still attractive
see the street life glorified
around this time i wasn’t tripping trying to be a scholar
see all the dogs barking at a white collar
religion overrated, school barely touched on martin
for the white man’s (religion)
never be a martyr
pardon me but we all black on black
the reason for the bondage
funny what a couple commas got a heart regarding
don’t hesitate to straight up put ’em in a coffin
either ball or go viral off the vine(divine) comedy
the whole world a play
a commodity
honestly
praying for a trade
saw the free, somberly
looking like they’re slaves
call police, pigment to embody modern chains
auctioning artists as a gallery of cages
i’ve known cats that act like hits from the whip lacerated their very back
yet still blast hits in the whip that hold the people back
black as ever
(jason)
oh
precious is the flow
that
makes me white as snow
no
other fount i know
nothing but the blood
the blood
the blood of freedom
oh (black america)
precious is the flow (black america)
that
makes me white as snow (black america)
no (black america)
other fount i know (black america)
nothing but the blood
the blood
the blood of freedom (black america)
for the white man’s never be a martyr
pardon me but we all black on black
the reason for the bondage
funny what a couple commas got a heart regarding
don’t hesitate to straight up put ’em in a coffin
either ball or go viral off the vine comedy
the whole world a play
a commodity
honestly
praying for a trade
saw the free, somberly
looking like they’re slaves
slaves
slaves
throwback talking pangaea
we were all across the land of freedom
still breathing
beating faster
getting blacker when the son meet us
true silver lining made the blood boil deeply
heated
trying to be the puzzle to the world pieces
crazy how it split and then we had the people shipped to till but never cash
convinced the color of a brother made his sum a fraction
bad math flashback
three fifths
backward
like fifth-third
they banked on that
social cl-ss by skin to p-ss
made them all forget the catch
soul (sole) promoted
running on a campaign
gunning for a
little bit of major change
broke and stolen
appropriated cultivation from the language of the oppressed
now death is cool for glorification
i recognized i was a native placed within this situation now i’m looking out far
the declaration made a statement
const-tution gave direction
but no changing of the heart
and now we staring at the fragments trying to piece it all together
living centuries apart
all lanes en route
from the hood to the white house
all americans are black
oh
precious is the flow (concords supporting our grapes of wrath)
that
makes me white as snow
no (i’m trying)
other fount i know
nothing but the blood
the blood
the blood of freedom (you trying to tell me you can’t outrun straps with how much them js was?)
oh
precious is the flow (silver spoon all your life, you ain’t never got nothing from the mud boy)
that
makes me white as snow (pull yourself up by the bootstraps, cuz)
no
other fount i know (i’m all about black power, but)
nothing but the blood
the blood
the blood of freedom (the hearts of men are blacker than ever)
oh (lord help us)
precious is the flow (help us)
that
makes me white as snow
no
other fount i know
nothing but the blood
the blood
the blood of freedom
