[Intro: Minister Robert Muhammad]
Fifteen generations
Born, raise, die
Born, raise, die
Born, raise, die
Into a slave condition
But yet we survive
[Verse 1: K-Rino]
Understand we don't expect you to care
'Cause usually when we get caught up it's a bet you was there
Got our whole community lost in the depths of despair
You even tricked some of us to think your methods were fair
We walk around with house shoes on and nets on our hair
People don't wanna get to know you and if they let you, it's rare
Hard to reach us even with a positive message to share
We be like, "Don't even speak on my name unless it's a prayer"
And it's so hard, we even feelin' like you prayin' is fraud
'Cause if you hate us, ain't no tellin' what you sayin' to God
We need to trust in those and our own, and stay on our own
How many hours out of each day do we play on our phones
We need attention so bad we be on Facebook cheesin'
Tell everybody where we 'bout to go, what time we leavin'
What we eatin', who we want to fight, and who boyfriend cheatin'
But in the streets it ain't no friends and police do the deletin'
