powell lumor - andre (the alter ego) [remix] lyrics

Loading...

(part i: produced by emil sundbaum)

(intro: martin luther king, jr.)
from every city
we will be able to speed up that day
when all of god´s children
black men & white men
jews & gentiles
protestants & catholic
will be able to join hands and sing in the
words of the old negro spiritual
free at last, free at last

(chorus)
was it me, or was it you
wish we could have a better future too
never too late to make a change
we are stronger, than they want us to be
was it me, or was it you
wish we could have a better future too
never too late to make a change
we are stronger, than they want us to be

(verse 1: powell lumor)
we done been through a whole lotta sh-t just being black
we done fought a million wars, and made a living selling crack
we done fought for freedom, fought for justice, fought like soldiers, mourned our leaders, tough believers, pray to jesus, black never crack
we done conquered a whole lotta sh-t just being white
we done fought a million wars, and madee a living telling lies
we done took their freedom, rob their justice, fought their soldiers, k!lled their leaders, k!lled their parents, sell their children, white is always right
this the same mentality keepin us back
in times, of anger, we refer to the past
same stories everyday, ain´t nothing change
so, i´m hoping to change folks with rap
like martin luther king i got a big -ss dream
where all join hands and sing a good -ss hymn
over some kool aid, with some chicken on the side
even though im vegetarian, can still ride the vibe

(chorus)
was it me, or was it you
wish we could have a better future too
never too late to make a change
we are stronger, than they want us to be
was it me, or was it you
wish we could have a better future too
never too late to make a change
we are stronger, than they want us to be

(verse 2: powell lumor)
let the freedom ring, let the people speak
let the people speak, let the children sing
let the children sing with the melody
of slaughtering this rivalry
‘tween the white man and the black man
the jew men and the arabs
and the christians and the muslims
and the public and the government
i hope people filled with racism and hatred
get to understand, and look past the judging of pigments
ain’t no group of folks
deserve aspecial treatment
whilst ma folks be oppressed
im just educating
sh-t is devastating, if it ain´t the racism
it be the bombs exploding
when will this end, i dont know
but i just keep on praying
for better days, and better nights
and better years

(chorus)
was it me, or was it you
wish we could have a better future too
never too late to make a change
we are stronger, than they want us to be
was it me, or was it you
wish we could have a better future too
never too late to make a change
we are stronger, than they want us to be

(intro: powell´s alter ego)
ah, i´m p-ssed at the same time
for reals, for reals
huh, you better listen

yh, right, yh i´m f-cking p-ssed, yh i´m f-cking p-ssed
you do love me, bullsh-t, ain´t felt that connection ever since
malcolm x, luther king, you made me your nemesis
arrogance, trynna reap me of my benefits
is it the gold, or is it ´fro
pay with your lives, try to survive
yh, right, yh i´m f-cking p-ssed, yh i´m f-cking p-ssed
you do love me, bullsh-t, ain´t felt that connection ever since
malcolm x, luther king, you made me your nemesis
arrogance, trynna reap me of my benefits
yh right, yh i´m f-cking p-ssed, i´m f-cking p-ssed
turn the tv on, a cycle, same sh-t on cnn
another brother dead (brother dead)
shot in the leg, in the back, in the head (in the head)
for jaywalking
smoking, in the corner
trynna make some bread
for his kids and mistress
footage on tape, but judge
saying f-ck evidence
we free, but still getting k!lled
cos blacks still ain’t relevant

oooh, sheesh
my alter ego man, but its all peace and love
