lirik lagu griotz - the baobab tree
verse 1:
look in the eyes of the pharaoh
sphinx with the nose
see the sparrow
blood on the tree
from my people reaching for the green
cut from the many branches
some generically made
was poisoned and turned into slaves
but slavery is just a mindset
that willie got us good
pause the moment
cuz ain’t nothing good about this sh~t
they tryna rewind america
back to when 3/5th was equal to a whole
it’s hysterical how hysteria unfolds
when a women puts down clothes
and his story becomes hers
and we splurge at any given moment
throw our money up but never own it
shoutouts to oprah cuz she really owns it
mama aim for that net worth
get on that network screw how ya neck work
see how that check work when you build up ya brand
you just gotta do it, it’s a war out here and they think we stupid
but i’ve solved the reubics cube they’ve tried to trap us in
passionate mastering passed down from the ancestors
if there is no struggle there is no progress so after 4 yrs
hopefully they change the process but as of right now i got something to say at the baobab tree
hook:
meet me at the baobab tree
at the baobab tree
at the baobab tree
its where we see
verse 2:
my people came from the hardest part of the hardship
excrement dropped on top of each other
while babies were stolen from their mothers
brothas and sistas sentenced to life without parol
the devil has no soul
and the penal system is the new form of slavery
ima act like an animal if you caging me
not paying me and not teaching me how
to make economic growth
rather economic gain cuz we ain’t get sh~t
y’all screaming peace, but we ain’t get a piece
while rich caucasions feast on the carcass
with markets that market us as buffoons
word to oshun, ya’ll n~ggas be cooning
arguing on twitter like it’s fight night
fighting over a woman like she’s a spice
or a material you own
be masculine without acting a fool
be insecure of your insecurities
because ya’ll be really looking stupid
and that’s just my two cents
don’t get money and lose sense
it ain’t funny how ya noose blends
ya’ll can’t feel the suffocation
ima heal the nation, through information
cuz misdirection is 12/24ths of the law
but i got you at the baobab tree
hook:
yea, at the baobab tree
at the baobab tree
the baobab tree
outro:
surely goodness follows me everyday of my life
imagine your image stay away from that knife
cuz the pen is mightier, their scared of the sight of ya
so they try to decipher ya, but hold on to ya light, keep it close
cuz no one can k!ll your potential, cultivate your sk!lls
heaven sent you, take hold of ya senses, censor their censorship
cuz their senselessness can’t stop us, cuz we are the image of god himself, you just gotta listen at the baobab tree
hook:
at the baobab tree
yea meet me at the baobab tree
the baobab tree
griotz the last airbender
