I keep my foot on the pedal
They be like miles away
I got a vision for better
It be like mine to chase
I be damn if I'm a let 'em
Treat me like I'm a slave
Locked and loaded with the Panthers
You can go hide and wait
You can go hide and wait, I aint gone hide and wait
I know the law wanna get me ,
fake friends they all went against me
Uncle Toms they don’t like me,
Cause I don’t shuck and jive for Whitey
Tell my main girl to call me
Tell my side chick don't stall me
Told my lil niggas bout the party
told my Panthers get it ‘Started Started’
64 Benz old school,
Fox on yawl old new
Stream flow like Roku
Homegirl say “Ish so cool”
Activist on social ,
Fist up at the shows too
Studio to the Garden
No Starving I grow food.
I am a king
I am a god
I am the water
I am the blood
Black as the sun
Gold flowin' in a river, skies full of doves my god
Black as the sun my god
Shout out to the homies steady holdin' down the throne my god
Yeah this is the one my god
To all of my niggas that’s locked up
for the wrong thing cuz .
Stay strong
Yawl kings cuz,
All my brothers that’s in it
4.0’s y’all the winners
3.5 grams and spinners
Pinky ring, chicken dinner.
Ring side with a conscious queen
I dropped 7 picked up 14
Whipped a 1/2 key from a 1/4 key
Becky I was courting,
Draft laws for the hood I’m from
tryna stop all that chain gang,
got a suit and tie wit a hoodie on,
and a gat tucked for that, bang bang,
Activist in my entourage
Picket signs for a appearl
Huey P on a monologue
Gold on me like a pharo
Conservatives in they feelings
Cause I ain’t locked in they’re jail though
Tell the homies that’s still in there
That I’m out here living trill bro.
Raise up your daughters
As strong as your sons
Honor your fathers,
Fight for their loss
Black is a virtue
We are as one,
The truth

First off my people’s magic
And best believe that I am real
Be careful what they’re feeding you
We know fire don’t melt steel
We gotta let the people know
Exactly what you saying though
I’m saying that the world is hiding shit my people praying for.
Plus one like they at the club
But they praying five just to stay alive
I got homeboys who still on the streets
And they slanging pies just to get by
Got a felony on they’re fucking name
So they can’t go get a good job
I give my life for all the single moms
raising kids alone, because they’re man’s gone.
Fresh as the pines in the woods that I’m smelling and
Eating up the sun rays, thanks to my melanin
Chant a Psalm a day, Overstand I was telling them
Back up in the day, cooking crack, I was selling it.
Devils had me thinking that this money is really heaven sent
Z holding my gat, I’m tryna stash away the evidence
Shot out to my Mexicans , My daddy’s hommie’s Tez and them
Taught me buy it soft and cook it hard up in the residence.
The oppressors plan
To rule the blackest of men
As we swim through the water
As we crawl through the sand
Secondly my people Warriors, architects, scientists, and explores
Philosophers, Doctors and Lawyers, and D-boys for the drugs the feds imported.
Look that That body cam video ain’t saving you
He gets a paid vacation to make a grave for you
Land of the incarcerated, home of the favorite few,
Nation of consumption as long as it aint saving you.
And they wanna brother locked up, in a gang want a brother shot up,
It ain’t a game in the O on Hamilton, or on Ames catch a nigga gambling
Act my age I’m a Black Panther , serving breakfast was my answer,
What I said to a private dancer, told the racists cops they the cancer,
Wanna sue me like 2 Pac ,bloodclot all me niggas shoot back,
and we trill about our fucking queens boy,
you better not touch a queen boy,
thats a wife mother daughter sista auntie you getting destroyed.
I told the cracker we on peace boy,
but Martin ain’t on these streets boy,
And Malcolm ain’t on these streets boy,
A fuck boy threw the wrong peace boy,
get the fuck up out my face before I leave you stiff and straight like a fucking crease boy.
I, I can't take it sewing through open soars
Oh my, I lay jaded watching my kind endure
Such a time full of hatred
In a land built for open doors
Now I, I'm not waiting for mine to be set ajar

I pay homage to the Huey's
Cool and vibin' like I'm Louie
Threw some paper round the antidote
You can't tell me anything
Fire to the ceiling
Shootin' visions with some trillests
Thats the product of the color though
Black on black on everything
You are, you are
You are a modern emperor
We've come too far too far
Too far to have 'em run us
We gon' take off in a minute
We gon' take off in a minute
Shut this shit down with a vengeance
Shut this shit down with a vengeance
We gon' take off in a minute
We gon' take off in a minute
Tear this shit down with a vengeance
Tear this shit down, yeah
We gon' take off in a minute
We gon' take off in a minute
Hand me the keys and we in it
Throw me the keys and we in it
We gon' take off in a minute
We gon' take off in a minute
Shut this shit down with a vengeance
Tear this shit down, yeah
I'm so fly so fly so fly so fly so fly so fly
Because I'm black, I'm Black Black
I don't even know about all of that hashtag shit
and the queen so thick that I hope she throws that ass back quick
I'm right so right so right so right so right so right
Fred Hampton in my play list
I don't even know how to make this shit go viral
so I'm just spiting like this shit was survival
I ain't saying I hate all cops, but I ain'y found one that I like
And I ain't saying we afraid of death but , see me and my niggas just love life!
Fist for my melanin its our time
Don't let these crackers control your mind
Fuck it lets toast and start livin' life
We hold it down for the city right
They gon' jock every move anyway
Fiends for the culture nah we don't hate
Leave it to power to regulate
Blessings on blessings everyday

POWER

All black El Derado
Soaring through North Rodeo
Crown, blow, and K.O.
You know, you know, you know
Packing that 32 is just a simple rule when you been pushing pools of that
You know, you know, you know
Living life from the horns of a matador
Truly another feeling when you stroke it raw
But as a wise man I would advise to strap that condom on at sometime
Hold up
Lions don't rule the jungle by coincidence
You tigers will earn your stripes over time you dig
Don't be so quick to stunt out and ball out for bitches
Then beef and fall out with niggas
pull pieces over some stupid shit
Aw Lord forgive him
Johnny grew through the system
Momma spends nights with dishes
His daddy somewhere in Memphis
Pimps, hoes, and crystals
But what don't kill us makes black stronger
They say long live the king huh
But what’s that really doing for the kingdom
Muhammad Ali with the content
Rolling with a half ‘ki’ half across the continent
I rumble with oppression
Can’t get depression
Cause my 3 little blessings
And they’re mom needs me rested
So i sleep soundly
I cleared my concious, soon as it found me
And power to the people
Feelings that surround me
Conversations with queens
That really know what they mean
Really what a queen means
They know too as a queen
Respect to the most high
All together all smiles like we toast high
Thousands in the car speeding
Got a dope ride
Fresh as hat a bolo or a bow tie
At least i lived all the cool shit before i go die
Leave me alone pastor
Don't get me wrong father
I lay awake at night
With my hands aligned
Hoping God remembers black power
Swear, all these cops looking like slave catchers
All of my niggas are go getters
jurors doctorate more letters
dope pushas with berretas
All of my brothers are Panthers
Yawl naggers still standing for Anthems
And selling your brother for ransom
That black on black shit is a Cancer
That hood life is played out
I cooked that it weighed out
I slang that it payed out
I hit licks and made out
Arrested and sat time
I paid bail and made mine
Up all night that grave time
On your shore it’s wave time
No talking is my code
Them pigs shot with blindfolds
Look, we mindful, but shoot back with Rhymestones
With Rifles, and Kind Notes
Them opposites that time molds,
Them Prophets that time grows,
I’m in debt my mind owes.
