In fact it costs more money to put someone in Rikers Island for a year
Than it does to send them to Harvard for four years
And so what's happened is that we've built an entire economy on incarceration and police terror
Um which is entirely ineffective and and unproductive
I mean you can build an equally powerful economy on education

It's like there's blood on the flag but nobody could see it
The reason why he sits down during the pledge of allegiance
The knowledge that you thought they had they stole it from Egypt
Pyramids of Sudan on the dollar that they kept a secret
Who the all knowing all seeing most intelligent
The pineal gland enhanced in the melanin
The universe expands growth and development
The maker of your science and your schools and your medicine
Energy gets transfused it never really dies
It's written on the burial ground lightning in the sky
You bout to reap what you sow and pay what you owe
To my ancestors who came here on the bottom of boats
The same ancestors who died so that I can vote
They be my sight so I can see clear through the mirrors and smoke
But ya'll still rigged the system cuz this countries a joke
It's all a corporation but they want us to be broke
Cuz we small business one percent hold the whole interest
In the land of the sick and the home of the prisons
I've been building with my brothers now my armies a large fleet
We came through to bust through the iron and concrete

Rivers flow by energy
Tsunami is energy
Frequency is energy
If we have the electricity now it's based on explosion energy
Now the sound energy is based on a technology diffrent from the explosion energy
And it's called implosion energy

Listen
What you getting' from it
How's it hittin' homie how you benefiting from it
The hood's still fucked up and niggas bags ain't no bigger
I'm talking to more than half of ya'll niggas
Black woman heart broke and ratchet
There daddies wasn't home absent
You think a ballad bandaid the gashes
Most of the stress post traumatic
The cracker attack of rap helped to make bro a savage
Little niggas terrorizing the village
Trying to see who the realest
I'm here to sirloin sizzle the skillets
Is niggas tough enough for family building
All these black fatherless children you worried about a politician
When you ain't pay for it or make your dollar circulate a day for it
Claim you thug but won't spray for it
But you'll clap me so what you gonna do
Just vote or just hope or just pray
Or just lay and watch basketball wives
When niggas lost lives babies caught up in the crossfires
You know last night news ah ha look the mayor got nice shoes nigga jokes on you
We need to improve and pay attention to the game you lay claim to

Another thing you'll catch in a lot of todays music is
I am proud because I carry a gun and I'm not afraid to use it
I will kill another black man I'll shoot him down or whatever
What's interesting about that to me is that you can't find any other group of people in America
That is so ready to celebrate it own genocide
There's no other group to which messages are consistently marketed
That convince them to be happy about the fact that they are murdering each other in the street
I'm not gonna feed information or messages I'm not gonna market messages
To the children of my community
That are gonna lead them to prison or to a casket or to drug addiction
Or to all these horrible thing that could happen when you buy into this lifestyle
I'm going to be real with my people
