mankind x the deity complex - juneteenth lyrics

mankind x the deity complex ft. trezure empire and orunmila – “juneteenth”
[emcee(s): orunmila, sciryl, and !llumin@te]
[producer(s): the golden luohan (of the deity complex) [original instrumental from the deity complex – “mr. gustave (grand concierge)”]]
[vocals: trezure empire]

[hook: trezure empire]
is it today?
am i all mine always?
is it today?
am i all mine always?

[verse 1: orunmila]
the war is over, the war is over
the northern soldiers on the horses told us they done
made their paper. it’s three years later, i’m a
free man now, no more free man labor
the capital runs sh-t on these plantations—thank
the dead president for your emanc-p-tion
made that paper, don’t need translation. thank
dead presidents for your emanc-p-tion

[verse 2: sciryl]
it’s all about the benjamins, baby
he wasn’t even president, baby. sh-t, it’s like
three years later and i’m just being made free?
i never thought that i could be a resident maybe
instead of a slave or instead of a grave being
the best way to ever be getting free. it’s like now
i got a chance to be everything that i never became
i want a name and a legacy, i’m ready to play
i know the game and the referees’ll never be fair
but i’m finna make it anywhere—let it be here
i’m in texas and i’m trying to be in new york
by the end of the year, i’ll put my hope way ahead of my fear
shedded some tears, thought about ending it
plenty of times, and the truth is i never really
ready my mind for the fact that there might be
a moment when i was told this whole sh-t is over and
i could get to going, and so i’m moving forward
no regrets, diving face-first—hold your breath

[interlude: sciryl and (!llumin@te)]
mankind (mankind). mankind (mankind). splash

[verse 3: !llumin@te]
uh, it’s all about the benjamins, baby
“i’m a free man—you got to pay me.” he paid me no mind
like, “where’s the receipts?” just looked at me crazy like
i’m ol’ man river on the river euphrates, feeling
saved, jack of all trades, master of none
just heard a rumor that the master was hung. look at
god, i wonder how the spoiled child took the ride
i got an offer from a crook and still took the job
no benefits, oh so limited
handed by jim crow membership. n-gg-, this
the deep south. n-gg-s got to eat out, eat out-
-side the lines drawn by home, cooking at home-field
advantage—d-mn it, they get the ball on the goal line
we get the ball with no o-line and no time
under pressure, trying to make a play, we gon’
get to hail mary one day. mankind
