《Dead Ni**a Blvd. (Pt. 1)(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] You sell your soul

[00:00:01] Like you sell a piece of ass

[00:00:06] Slave to the dead white leaders on paper

[00:00:09] And welfare cases

[00:00:10] Rapists and hoes

[00:00:11] All reinforced your TV show

[00:00:14] Exotic and beautiful videos

[00:00:17] Yeah

[00:00:17] A jail's a sanctuary for the walking dead

[00:00:19] It f**ks with your head

[00:00:20] When every black leader ends up dead

[00:00:21] Somebody said

[00:00:22] Our greatest destiny is to become white

[00:00:24] But white is not pure

[00:00:26] And hate is not pride

[00:00:27] And just 'cause civil rights is law

[00:00:29] Doesn't mean that we all abide

[00:00:31] So tell me are you free

[00:00:32] While we campaign for every dead nigga blvd

[00:00:35] So young motherf**kers can drive down it in your fancy cars

[00:00:38] Free

[00:00:39] You try to hold on to some Africa of the past

[00:00:43] One must remember

[00:00:43] It's other Africans that helped enslave your ass

[00:00:47] 'Cause everybody's

[00:00:47] Just trying to make to make that dollar

[00:00:50] Remember what Jesse used to say

[00:00:52] I am somebody

[00:00:54] No longer do I blame others

[00:00:55] For the way that we be

[00:00:57] 'Cause niggas need to redefine

[00:00:58] What it means to be free

[00:01:01] I can't even tell my brothers and sisters that they're fine

[00:01:05] This absence of beauty

[00:01:06] In their heart and mind

[00:01:09] Stopped breastfeeding the child

[00:01:10] You put 'em on the cow

[00:01:11] And now you wonder why they act wild

[00:01:13] You see brown folks are the

[00:01:14] Keepers of the earth

[00:01:15] Unifiers of the soul and mind

[00:01:16] Not these wannabe gaudy pimps and thugs

[00:01:18] Wearing diamond watches

[00:01:20] From African slave mines

[00:01:23] Perhaps to be free

[00:01:24] Is to all love those who hate me

[00:01:26] And die a beautiful death

[00:01:28] And make pretty brown babies

[00:01:30] You campaign for every dead nigga blvd

[00:01:33] So y'all young motherf**kers can drive down it in their fancy cars

[00:01:37] You try to hold on to some Africa of the past

[00:01:41] Then one must remember

[00:01:41] It's other Africans that helped enslave your ass

[00:01:45] Everybody's trying to make that dollar

[00:01:48] Remember what Jesse used to say

[00:01:50] I am somebody

[00:01:52] No longer do I blame others

[00:01:53] For the way that we be

[00:01:55] 'Cause niggas need to redefine

[00:01:56] What it means to be free

[00:01:59] You campaign for every dead nigga blvd

[00:02:00] Just trying to make that dollar

[00:02:03] So y'all young motherf**kers can drive down it in your fancy cars

[00:02:06] You try to hold on to some Africa of the past

[00:02:10] Then one must remember

[00:02:10] It's other Africans that helped enslave your ass

[00:02:13] 'Cause everybody's

[00:02:15] Trying to make that dollar

[00:02:17] Remember what Jesse used to say

[00:02:19] I am somebody

[00:02:21] No longer do I blame white folks

[00:02:22] For the way that we be

[00:02:25] 'Cause niggas need to redefine

[00:02:26] What it means to be

[00:02:28] Free

[00:02:38] I'm standing on the pot

[00:02:39] Where you put drop your rights on your human rights

[00:02:42] I'm standing on the temple of nature

[00:02:47] That's right

[00:02:49] You see probably rights control by man

[00:02:52] That human's rights is control by nature
