mankind x the deity complex ft. gia shakur – “harriet’s tub”
[emcee(s): !llumin@te and sciryl]
[producer(s): the deity complex]
[spoken word: gia shakur]
[verse 1: gia shakur]
on the top of the hill
past the meadow, near the stream
this house is burning
pipework laid in bones, piled tile teeth
america was never a lover
our red blood will dance in hate garb
a cop will thumb a trigger d-ck-style
america was never a lover
at best, a jeweler, piecing chains along, fastening clips
at worst, a beggar, feasting on the ribs of meek
tired, jolly
a gun in the state’s hand is the pen that writes its future
and the gout-belly inkwell chambers the blood of its children
[hook: mankind]
they say they fought
for our independence, our
independence, but there’s a couple things that
they forgot to mention, forgot
to mention about our independence ‘cause
we climb through the trenches, climb through
the trenches, through the underground
or we climbed over fences, climbed over
fences, fought for our independence. this is
our independence day
yeah
yeah
this is our independence day
[verse 2: !llumin@te]
uh, yo
we the people see no evil
brown sugar never seen as equal. sugarcane
sharecroppers gotta feed the greedy, stay needy
in discontent, then sow seeds of diabetes
sweet jesus, jumping jehoshaphat, running up
north ‘cause there’s nothing to hold me back, but backwards thinking
overlapped lap dances, slim probabilities
and fat chances. check the scale—it’s not a light decision
this is jack johnson’s fight division
gotta carry the remainder, relying on the kindness of
a stranger, hand-me-downs provided by a hanger
wearing ‘em reminds you of the anger and the loss
there’s a war going on outside i can’t escape from
it’s like there’s no way out unless i make one
so i followed the path of black moses
the nile flows north. i shall go forth
[hook: mankind]
they say they fought
for our independence, our
independence, but there’s a couple things that
they forgot to mention, forgot
to mention about our independence ‘cause
we climb through the trenches, climb through
the trenches, through the underground
or we climbed over fences, climbed over
fences, fought for our independence. this is
our independence day
yeah
yeah
this is our independence day
[verse 3: sciryl]
was bap-
-tized inside harriet’s tub, winslow
family matters. how scary it was that black rifle
that she carried, she was carrying us like el chapo
burying drugs underground. thunder sounds, rain
hail, sleet, staying in the mud, running through the house
of pain while cannons erupt, “jump around”
it’s the fourth of july. is you with it? is you staying?
is you weary or what? nineteen trips, three-hundred
freed, it wasn’t nearly enough. white overseers
carrying cuffs with the mindstate of burying us
this nat turner spilling aryan blood, ask
hisself, “how can this be love?” n-gg-s still
in the house like marion hill. the black captain
america’s that, carried a shield, blacks captured
on their way to getting back to the real, the ones k!lled
ones taken right back to the field. almost independent
signed back to the deal, write about chains
cracking whips—that has m-ssive appeal, huh!
we took scr-ps and made that to a meal. we took
rap and made that to a mill. mankind
familia, real recognize familiar, check the record
resurrect the essence, testify, let the rest
decide, hah!
