lyrics

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
