lirik lagu g. twilight - dedication (nipsey hussel cover)
[intro: rev. dr. martin luther king jr. sample]
white america must see that no other ethnic group has been a slave on american soil
the other thing is that the color became a stigma
[verse 2]
pon march 31st we took a big loss
but i’m still grindin’ like freeway rick ross
can’t stop, won’t stop because i’m the boss
before you accept the crown you gotta bear the cross
can you handle this gang and its totality?
most buckle under pressure and that’s just the reality
if you think you can or can’t either way you right
cassius clay was the greatest, you gotta fight
powernomics is my inspiration, a.d.o.s., i want my reparation
detroit red of my generation, slave blood i can birth a nation
immortality is my motivation
look, it ain’t about who you are whеn you makin’ your stack
it’s about the lives you touch when you giving it back
show somе restraint
no complaint
put some paint where it ain’t
so pure you can’t taint
[hook]
dedication, hard work plus patience
the sum of all my sacrifices i’m done waitin’
i’m done waitin’, told you n~ggas that i wasn’t playin’
now you see what i been sayin’
dedication
dedication
[interlude: rev. dr. martin luther king jr. sample]
america freed the slaves in 1863
but gave the slaves no land or nothing in reality to get started on
[verse 2]
this right here, this is dedicated to the ancestors who jumped off the ship
who never saw america, f~ck that sh~t
at the bottom of the atlantic in a watery grave
they died with honor, never became a slave
give me liberty or give me death
when a black person says this everyone is upset
but true freedom means to free ya dome
the king has arrived, get off my throne
true freedom means to free ya dome
dedication, hard work, go hard or go home
remember when i took it one d~mn day at a time?
i was makin’ it one gram of yay at a time
sunday morning with granny, st. peter’s holiness church
dexter/monterrey in the middle of y.b.i. turf
k~mbaya, i ain’t seen ya in a while
she died in ’89, but i’m her favorite grandchild
i’m not farmington hills oreo cookie black
i’m raised without a father, schoolcraft avenue black
on seven mile and lasher, i was pushin’ that crack
vanilla smoothie and the pyrex it’s gon’ jump back
what you know about that?
i know all about that
thunderstorm with the work, show me where the drought at
took the shackles off our wrists and put ’em on our mind
urban concentration camps, we gotta free our minds
[interlude: rev. dr. martin luther king jr. sample]
we came here involuntarily in chains
and had worked free for 244 years
so emaciation for the negro was really freedom to starve
[verse 3]
the marathon continues, i can go like flow show
at the speed of light, while y’all moving in slow~mo
no loose ends, no slowin’ down
hold your position, never back down
yeah i know, it’s wicked in these streets
but no slowin’ down, i can take the heat
fine women and k!llers, they roll with me
a “six~two” of cocaine, i call it a “rollin’ 60’s”
women usually date and marry up
but you won’t get far if your bread ain’t up
it is trickin’ if you got it, that ain’t the way to go
y’all n~ggas is r~t~rded, radio
the woman you love is in love with me
spoilin’ me rotten cause she loves me
over time in these streets this life loves me
i’m married to the game for all eternity
[hook]
dedication, hard work plus patience
the sum of all my sacrifices i’m done waitin’
i’m done waitin’, told you n~ggas that i wasn’t playin’
now you see what i been sayin’
dedication
dedication
[outro: rev. dr. martin luther king jr. sample]
and when white americans tell a negro to lift himself by his own bootstraps, they don’t look over the legacy of slavery and segregation. i believe we ought to do all we can and seek to lift ourselves by our own bootstraps
it’s a cruel jest to say to a bootless man that he ought to lift himself by his own bootstraps
and many negroes, by the thousands of millions, have been left bootless as a result of all of these years of oppression and as a result of a society that deliberately made his color a stigma and something worthless and degrading
