Lyrics
I am gonna drop more knowledge here than Alex Trebek You’re like an infant dropped on their soft head and now you’re dead You need new perspectives like getting shot with capitol lead The south will rise again? Is that really what you just said? Cause sometimes I feel like I live in the Confederate states Everywhere there are slaves and zombies – just a few awake Black people buying into the system unfortunately And white people still pulling the strings systematically Gone are our times of revolution You consume sh** and sh** consumes ya Gil Scott-Heron ain’t dead Remember what he said He who started hip-hop Had respect for women And the Cross Bronx highway from Robert Moses The displacement got this sh** goin’ When the Bronx was burning Something was occurring Kool Herc was exploding hip-hop started flowing New source of African-American empowerment An entire culture began developing from it Rebellious but still played into the establishment But at the core was something genuine Chorus B-boys, b-girls, turntables, graffiti These are the things that we are seeking A proactive response to our problems Having fun while the DJ revolves them Verse 2 So let me return to this history lesson I want to make you aware and keep you from guessing Do you happen to know how this sh** was corrupted? Simmons, racism, white boys, commercialism No one knows the American dream better than those in poverty Emcees began plugging products – allusions to kicks, rides, and bling It didn’t take too long for this to get picked up by MTV Quickly rose to prominence and made its way into advertising What started out in so many styles Became pigeon-holed and do you know why? All these racist white kids Loved the gangsterism Sexism and violence Is all they wanted And when the white kids took control It dictated what had to be sold Simple supply and demand No more fighting the man All that the man wanted was Black on black violence So now what we’re left with of popular black music Is just what ever the white kid chooses Because when you’re the ones driving most of the sales It’s all up to you what prevails Chorus B-boys, b-girls, turntables, graffiti These are the things that we are seeking A proactive response to our problems Having fun while the DJ revolves them
