Black Zombie

[00:01.19] Uh, yo, you believe when they say we ain't shit, we can't grow?
[00:04.86] All we are is dope dealers, and gangstas and hoes?
[00:07.35] And you believe when they be telling you lie, all on the media?
[00:09.90] They make the world look crazy to keep you inside?
[00:12.05] Why you listen when the teachers at school
[00:13.91] Know you a young single parent out struggling, they think you a fool
[00:16.99] Give your kids bad grades and put 'em in dumber classes
[00:19.75] Killing shawty future, I wonder how do we last it?
[00:21.93] Underground in they casket, ancestors turning
[00:25.02] I'm learning something every day, there is no Lazarus
[00:27.34] Words like God is Greek or Latin
[00:29.28] So if you study Egypt, you'll see the truth written by the masters
[00:32.54] My niggas is chilling, getting high, relaxing
[00:34.89] Envisioning, owning shit, yo it can happen
[00:37.04] What do we own?
[00:37.85] Not enough land, not enough homes
[00:39.60] Not enough banks, to give my brother a loan
[00:41.89] What do we own?
[00:43.05] The skin on our backs, we run and we ask
[00:44.65] For reparations, then they hit us with tax
[00:46.91] And insurance if we live to be old, what about now?
[00:49.74] So stop being controlled, we black zombies
[00:52.17] Walking talking dead, though we think we're living (black zombies)
[00:57.05] We just copycat, following the system (black zombies)
[01:02.06] Walking talking dead, though we think we're living (black zombies)
[01:07.10] We just copycat, following the system (black zombies)
[01:11.66] Ayo, we trapped in our own brain, fucked behind bars
[01:14.60] We've already gone insane
[01:16.30] We've already gave up, cut our own heads offs
[01:19.67] Stab our own backs and dream too much
[01:21.58] Without fulfilling reality, too greedy
[01:24.28] And can't have one or two chains, we need three of them
[01:27.22] Can't have one or two guns without squeezing 'em
[01:29.42] On our own people and, fuck black leaders
[01:31.87] 'Cause whites ain't got none leading them, the rhythm is cosmic
[01:34.07] Nas is divinity, the deity's prophet
[01:36.55] Let's all get down and get up
[01:38.26] Victims walking 'round with down's Syndrome, all stuck
[01:40.71] Fainting, shouting, catching Holy Ghost in church
[01:43.06] Scared to do it for ourselves 'less we see somebody doing it first
[01:46.09] We begged, we prayed, petitioned and demonstrated
[01:48.47] Just to make another generation, black zombies
[01:51.25] Walking talking dead, though we think we're living (black zombies)
[01:56.23] We just copycat, following the system (just following) (black zombies)
[02:01.04] Walking talking dead, though we think we're living (black zombies)
[02:06.61] We just copycat, following the system (black zombies)
[02:11.38] You scared to be yourself, 'cause you in a trance
[02:13.55] Feel free, hear the music and dance
[02:15.30] If you cared what they think, why wear what they wear, just for you
[02:18.23] Dumb niggas with long beards like they Arabs or Jews
[02:20.88] Or from Israel, Bismillah al Rahman al Rahim
[02:24.41] Islam's a beautiful thing
[02:25.86] And Christian and Rastafari, helps us to bring
[02:28.36] Peace against the darkness, which is ungodly
[02:30.86] So what's the black man's true religion, who should we follow?
[02:33.53] Use your own intuition, you are tomorrow
[02:36.05] That's the sound of the beast
[02:38.33] I'm a Columbia record slave, so get paid
[02:41.03] Control your own destiny, you are a genius
[02:43.04] Don't let it happen to you like it did to me, I was a black zombie
[02:46.00] Walking talking dead, though we think we're living (black zombies)
[02:50.81] We just copycat, following the system (black zombies)
[02:56.12] Walking talking dead, though we think we're living (black zombies)
[03:00.83] We just copycat, following the system (black zombies)
[03:05.83] Wake up
[03:07.10] Black zombies in a spell for more than fo' hundred years
[03:10.98] Ghetto niggas won't have it no mo', can I get a witness?
[03:14.28] Why listen to somebody else tell you how to do it
[03:17.26] When you can do it yourself it's all in you, do it, do it
[03:22.20] Do it niggas c'mon, uh, peace, peace, peace, peace
[03:27.93] Do it
[03:30.45]
