[04:14.96] I don't think they understand what I'm trying to say
[04:20.42] Yeah, uh, I asked a question like this
[04:24.07] Are we a lost generation of our people?
[04:26.53] Add us to equations but they'll never make us equal
[04:28.77] She who writes the movie owns the script and the sequel
[04:30.80] So why ain't the stealing of my rights made illegal?
[04:33.27] They keep us underground working hard for the greedy
[04:35.43] But when it's time pay they turn around and call us needy
[04:37.86] My crown too heavy like the Queen Nefertiti
[04:39.76] Gimme back my pyramid, I'm trying to free Kansas City
[04:42.22] Mixing masterminds like your name Bernie Grundman
[04:44.39] Well, I'ma keep leading like a young Harriet Tubman
[04:46.93] You can take my wings, but I'm still gon' fly
[04:49.02] And even when you edit me the booty don't lie
[04:51.27] Yeah, I'ma keep singin', I'ma keep writin' songs
[04:53.42] I'm tired of Marvin asking me, "What's Going On?"
[04:56.23] March to the streets 'cause I'm willing, and I'm able
[04:58.54] Categorize me, I defy every label
[05:00.43] And while you're selling dope, we're gon' keep selling hope
[05:02.99] We rising up now, you gotta deal you gotta cope
[05:05.19] Will you be electric sheep?
[05:06.30] Electric ladies, will you sleep?
[05:07.76] Or will you preach?
[05:09.67]
