Race relations got my mind racing
Played the puppet, but fuck it, now I'm impatient
They positive, I'm negative, that's what they say
But they don't know what we live through on a day-to-day basis
Tired of racism and oppression
I'm not staying in this locked box and accepting
Them neglecting the fact that we fucked up and forgetting That we heading for a tragic ending and depending
On whether or not us blacks get violent
We sick of sitting silent while these tyrants triumph Sick of screaming sirens lighting up, the night vibrant Invasion got us all fucked up
Your heroes ain't my heroes, throw your one's up
Cook never brought they sun up
Got them questioning my parents how they brought their son up In a society that didn't want me to acheive
But I'm here and I won't leave so please take your seats
But keep the tickets
'Cause you gon' be pissed off with the way I spit it, I'm kidding
Take this shit with a grain of salt
I'm black like pepper, better realize I'm not saying what you want I'm saying what needs to be said
Needs to be said, needs to be drilled in your head
There's lies filling your head, a straw broke the camel's back
Two hundred years of oppression and somehow we still hopeful blacks Now how fucked up is that? Forced to forget facts, uh
But there's no turning back
We went to war for a country that wanted us dead
If you don't let us sit at your table, how we gon' break bread?
We just want this to end, want this to end
We just want this to end, eh
We just want this to end, this pain is killing me
Killing me, killing me, killing me softly, eh
Played the puppet, but fuck it, now I'm impatient
They positive, I'm negative, that's what they say
But they don't know what we live through on a day-to-day basis
