once upon a time yo there was a revolution it started real small but it grew into a movement tried to change a law and for peace we were pursuing but the nazis couldn't take it so them crackas started shooting shit just curved when the first church burned people flooded in the street saying it's our turn so we opened up the prison in the folks first term we just getting started though fuck what you heard nigga word Justice is served bring your styrofoam plate I can tell just by the smell it’s got a mighty strong taste Trying to feed the whole neighborhood so how you gon hate We’ve suffered more than enough It’s been a mighty long wait Unless you rapping for the African diaspora Don’t even fix your lips to try to ask What’s in this casserole This afro futurist vision was written By Corretta scott So better not Come reaching for a plastic cup If you susan b anthony Or asamove just ask yourself Am i sad because i wasn’t invited Because i love entitlement If i been fighting beside them To really earn this alcohol Even spider man got the whitest skin when the mask is off And he’s still a hero Don’t give a fuck if you black Whether you stood with anita hill Or knelt with colin kapernick Cause whether you love us enough To call the crooks out So in that later category Welcome to the cookout when the revolutions over i'm exploding like a nova i just did a run to kroger an nobody pulled me over got blunts on site and ain't nobody sober the names dope knife my momma call me toga go 'head and smoke up it's all legal we all equal we all ball no such thing as small people guns, sticks, pots and pans we fought evil now we got plots of land four zero they told you it's a dream it was all in your head they told you not to lead said to follow instead now you can get a good job while keeping all of your dreads and we can party with no white lady calling the fed everybody dappin no one's having a fuss plus we came a long way from the back of the bus we let in all of the white folk you happen to trust and everybody else can come but it's black as a fuck
