MLK Day Ras Kass

[Chorus: Eric Jaye]
Its all for the culture, that's what you see
And I’ma rep it 'til i can't no more
No matter where you going, ya best believe
You gotta feel it in your soul for sure

[Verse: Ras Kass]
I wonder what cats was thinking April 3rd, 1968
Day before King’s murder occurred
Probably optimistic, thinkin' 'bout driving down to Memphis
Now they name a street after him in low-income districts
Not being negative, I'm realistic
Speaking logistics in the process of keeping my wrist lit
The Modern Urban Philosopher
Rappers either make-believe kingpins or they gossipers
The dеvil traded Polo shirts for swastikas
Co-opted the cops, adoptеd the moniker of 'Evangelical Christians'
Same Christians, 1960s, bombed churches and did the lynching
Guess religion contradicting heaven
'Cause terrorism's homegrown, and these radical got a reverend
What is Black Steel? It’s that black mother with her back peeled
From whips cracking her flesh on a vast field
Picking cotton, yeah, that yield
Just so she could survive to protect her babies
It’s that real
Black Steel: the murder weapon in the hood where blacks kill one another
See every brother ain't a brother
Am I supposed to bleach my skin? Buy blue contacts like Sammy Sosa?
Sisters strip in Racist Chat Rooms, that Cat is Doja
Told ya, self-hate is that ill
But you can’t change your genetics, family, you Black still
