Go Tell 'Em

[00:00.17] Go tell em, go tell em
[00:03.64]
[00:06.13] Go tell em, go tell em
[00:09.66]
[00:12.00] Go tell em, go tell em
[00:13.87] Go tell em, I'm gon' tell what they don't tell 'em
[00:16.35] We been under water since they threw us in the boat
[00:18.82] Sellin cotton pickin' blues
[00:20.70] Rock and roll, real role builders
[00:22.35] Serving white America before we was dope dealing
[00:25.41] Brick laid the birth of a nation, it's the Roc
[00:28.07] White house, black man, plantation, it's Barack
[00:31.01] But we still can't cross the street
[00:33.16] Without the cops trynna Zimmerman us while the whole neighborhood watch
[00:36.88] They chained us to the auction block but now we changin' the locks
[00:39.90] 'Cause even Bill O'Reilly daughter out here drinkin' Ciroc
[00:43.07] Now that's what I call the 21st Century Fox
[00:45.90] Where Megyn Kelly try to tell me Santa's white
[00:48.13] It's in town
[00:48.81] Murder us right?
[00:49.61] I just remember rap stars the new Bach
[00:51.98] I pull strings like the orchestra, shut down your corporate
[00:55.50] Nat Turner
[00:56.15] Run up in the doors to your Nordstrom with a hundred niggas ready
[00:59.55] And a hundred thousand more for ya
[01:01.05] I see the future Martin Luther dreamt when he was a man
[01:06.15] I feel the blood my momma fought for
[01:09.38] See the scars on her hand
[01:12.23] Oh tell me there ain't no looking back now
[01:15.23] Oh lord, as far as I ran
[01:18.13] So take these chains or give me death
[01:21.29] Either way we coming again
[01:23.83] Go tell em, go tell em
[01:24.40] Go tell em, go tell em
[01:24.92] Go tell em, go tell em
[01:25.33] Stripped from the family
[01:27.08] Ripped from reality
[01:28.47] Belly of the beast to the grips of the tragedy
[01:31.35] Couldn't touch my soul so they whipped my anatomy
[01:34.39] I re-wrote the script when they thought they had mastered me
[01:37.53] 1-2-3
[01:38.47] Now I'm counting up the casualties
[01:40.36] Mounting up the calvary
[01:41.95] Riding with a master piece
[01:43.43] Shotgun shells show you god when they blast for me
[01:46.55] Running like a wolf when they send the dogs after me
[01:49.44] Fighting for my freedom, yes I had the audacity
[01:52.40] Hangin' from the trees, black blood on the leaves
[01:55.36] Jumping overboard, black bodies in the sea
[01:58.37] I die on my feet 'fore I live on my knees
[02:01.01] So you know I'm not begging if I say "Nigga please"
[02:04.68] I see the future Martin Luther dreamt when he was a man
[02:10.45] I feel the blood my momma fought for
[02:13.82] See the scars on her hand
[02:16.73] Oh tell me it ain't no looking back now
[02:19.71] Oh lord as far as I ran
[02:22.67] So take these chains or give me death
[02:25.79] Either way we coming again
[02:28.49]
