[Verse 1: Brer Rabbit]
Yeah I'm a believer, I won't be beleaguered
I give a damn, no Leave it to Beaver
With the R-E-S-P-E-C-T like Aretha
And if I don't use my feet then I won't have that either
Yes we serve, we deserve some peace
And we serve the least versed to reverse
The deep hurt that's featured
Each turn of the sheet of a learned history
Like Wall Street, the Trail of Tears and the War in the Philippines
And I wash my hands clean like surgeons in emergencies
Media and ennui like chondroitin and glucosamines
Swell at the joint at wounded knee
Let's decode the Negro
And be like Steve Biko, when not hearing a peep
From the projects like beakers in research
We're jumping in feet-first
Reaction more than knee-jerk
Don't let his story recur
Swipe credit like a Visa
Empire doesn't need a sequel
Just the silence of the people
[Hook (x2)]
As for me, I'm gonna be free
I'm gonna be free from all of this history
Yeah, me, I'm gonna be free, I'm gonna be free
Yeah I'm a believer, I won't be beleaguered
I give a damn, no Leave it to Beaver
With the R-E-S-P-E-C-T like Aretha
And if I don't use my feet then I won't have that either
Yes we serve, we deserve some peace
And we serve the least versed to reverse
The deep hurt that's featured
Each turn of the sheet of a learned history
Like Wall Street, the Trail of Tears and the War in the Philippines
And I wash my hands clean like surgeons in emergencies
Media and ennui like chondroitin and glucosamines
Swell at the joint at wounded knee
Let's decode the Negro
And be like Steve Biko, when not hearing a peep
From the projects like beakers in research
We're jumping in feet-first
Reaction more than knee-jerk
Don't let his story recur
Swipe credit like a Visa
Empire doesn't need a sequel
Just the silence of the people
[Hook (x2)]
As for me, I'm gonna be free
I'm gonna be free from all of this history
Yeah, me, I'm gonna be free, I'm gonna be free
