lirik lagu jeff smith - fear of a black messiah
(verse one)
i carry the burden of my ancestors, still being brutalized
still oppressed by the wicked, still being euthanized
still possess the fear of the devil, that fear is odd
most of us don’t know our true power, cause we don’t know we’re gods
we were robbed of our history, robbed of our land
then they gave us chitilings and put a bible in our hand
and we don’t understand why we die of high blood pressure
it was a scientific plan created by the oppressor
they shot down malcolm, they shot down king
pac got murked after mike left out the ring
and law enforcement ain’t solve a d-mn thing
just another n-gg- dead on the scene
meanwhile they got mumia locked in the cling
and all the shorties high off promethazine, never minded the death it brings
back in the days, we were self-aware
then they put dope in our circle, knocked us off our square
after they murdered our leaders, no leadership was there
we just let our soul glow through our hair
cause coming to america, we really won’t prepared
leaving our kingdom, to be exploited while we come here and be treated unfair
so our babies psychologically scared
of caucasians, its embedded in the air
being black is a job
so you gotta put in work, you can’t just sit and wait on god nah

(verse two)
godd-mn shame it took wakanda to teach us pride and honor
self esteem low but we high off marijuana
straight loss our focus, a lotta bills got p-ssed that went unnoticed
laws h-lla bogus
they made it legal not to hire n-gg-s with dreads
that’s cultural violation interfering with bread
you gotta be self made in these days and times
cause these companies ain’t paying a dime
everyday i clock in at my job, it’s like i’m paying a fine
making some mothaf-cka rich, while i’m staying behind
the system’s built for you to lose and keep you staying in line
i just always keep a prayer in mind
they don’t want us to build
that’s why our hoods lack resources but enough guns for n-gg-s to get k!lled in drug deals
we could invest in plenty stores, but y’all hear that and get bored
y’all rather invest in michael kors
so addicted to gossip and social media
when my phone could be used for a f-ckin encyclopedia
still partic-p-te in the mess that’s always defeating us
never minding the crooked officers that’s deleting us
power to the people, cause my people lack power
we’ve been taken advantage of like we work for matt lauer
and to this day we’re being sold out by black cowards
then they get sh-tted on and wanna scream black power
(hook)
fbi, cia
dea, doj
local pd, ira
