Story behind the song
just wanted to let people know how I feel about this country, every verse is a letter of knowledge
Lyrics
[verse 1]
This is for the minority
ancestors before me
the people thats poor in the dark
the school systems that they tore apart
government own this land
but we dont set no plans
the american flag and the 50 stars hate us
lady liberty on a statue plate tried to play us
now we don't know
our history
they lied to us
now its all a big mystery
study the strong
u can't walk around not knowin nothin
now its wrong
but we aint trustin us
Im battlin fa my people
Im rafflin fa my sequal
makin room fa my girl
strugglin in this empty world
we honor a man that don't even respect us
we look up to a role model that can't correct us
freedom of speech and the nobel prize
if we take after Dr.King we can break the ties
we actin like idiots
but some of us know
that our roots are bold
rap music is finna change
little that u know
cuz they all chose so
we all prayin here
so what u on.
[Young Q-Dogg speaks]
America, This is what yall did to me
took everything from me,left me naked,
now I gotta speak, but u know what
imma let everybody know, Because
here I come wit another one.
[verse 2]
start it off from the top
come in and let knowledge drop
lets stop america from teachin our kids
cuz all they tryin to do is trick they minds
and watchin videos is a way to get they minds
we need to fight back
drugs was a sneak attack
to strike blacks
gun crime mean hard time
promote peace on the street
and expand ur mind
together we can grow
forever we can take control
put laws in movies
cuz aint no tellin what they do to me
underated rappin aint bein promoted
so everybody in the country
should stick to they slogan
this is absurd
that I aint bein heard yet
we gotta build up
or its gon get worse
I know they can't stand me
so knowledge comes in handy
we need to revision
and start a petition
makin a change is my business
so can u change where u livin.
[chours]
[verse 3]
letters of knowledge
accordin to the power of the nation
givin the enemy lies
as education
watch ya back
reach fa what u wanna be
know bout jesus
react fa what they did to u and me
armed wit a gun
get rid of it son
cuz no-one will ever oblige
this kind again
so its on us
to put up a fight as blacks in the lower class
to see what we can find
and nobody betta hide
the democracy
had played wit our minds
now we gotta reset our time
we gotta get out the storm
and build our own chords
so therefore
the president thought he had us
cuz he trapped us in this status
u can't tell
they aint gon stop this
till the young black male
say his letters of knowledge,
U CAN'T TELL
THEY AINT GON STOP THIS
TILL THE YOUNG BLACK MALE
SAY HIS LETTERS OF KNOWLEDGE
[Young Q-Dogg talking]
look at what yall did to me.
I shine.
as a reminder of what yall did to the people for over 400 plus years.
u should be tryin to shut me up, u should be tryna silence me, but ya can't do it.
well its my turn to say my words
just as u go up u will come down, by my words
America
