This Land (Remix) [From The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon] The Roots (Ft. Black Thought & Gary Clark Jr.)

[Verse 1: Black Thought]
Ayy-yo, this is my land
I'm right around a 20-mile marker
The sky seems darker where I stand
My only partner is the bullseye on my back
Courtesy of an archer, a reminder that life is a limited time offer
I'm young, black and a legend
And considered a weapon by some
Actually threatened by one
African essence
The real bodies are buried with the secrets in the silo
For people in denial or the link is in the bio
The objects in the mirror are closer than they might seem
The shadow of doubt disappears at light speed
Hopes and dreams crisscrossed into a tight weave rope
From trees hanging since 1619
Strange the way the danger could inspire major good
I play a power chord
There goes the neighborhood
They after me as if they wanna capture me
But if they made it back to me, there'd be another casualty
That's why

[Verse 2: Gary Clark]
Paranoid and pissed off
Now that I got the money
Fifty acres and a model A
Right in the middle of Trump country
I told you, "There goes a neighborhood"
Now Mister Williams ain't so funny
I see you looking out your window
Can't wait to call the police on me
