“We Want Freedom” Dead Prez ​dead prez

I was born black, I live black
And I'mma die probably *because* I'm black
Because some cracker that knows I'm black
Better than you, nigga, is probably gonna' put
A bullet in the back of my head!!

Yeah our lives fucked up, no doubt
All this shit we go through every day
Sometimes a nigga don't know what the fuck to do
But see I got my niggas
And we gon organize a people army
And we gon get control over our own lives
And I mean that shit right there from the bottom of my shit

Or have feelings for if necessary?
I got cousins in the military
But far as I'm concerned they died, when they registered
