Now that I've gotten your full undivided attention
Allow me to proceed with ease and bring you up to speed
of the crimes of hate,lies,greed and other things I forgot to mention.
Let the truth be told
prayer saved my soul
But I would be lying if I said I was confused about the cultural and religious beliefs that we were forced to believe.
And that was only for those that was allowed to read.

So when we learned to read you tried to keep us from seeking.
When the truth began to unfold we was prohibited from speaking.
When the words began to flow you assassinated our leaders.
Tried to cut off our chain of knowledge that reaches us,
By underpaying African American teachers.
So the new generation rely on they're favorite rappers words that blast through speakers.

Then you blame Hip Hop for actions against our youth
But it wasn't a problem until it reached the children in the homes that belong to you.
Now tell me is that fair.
I guess you couldn't stand seeing brothers pic up microphones and becoming millionaires.
I know that angers you to the up most high
So you put on your white sheets over your head and tell us to go back home.
Well.... we would but natives of the Motherland say we been gone too long.
