[Mekhi Phife]: Intro

Yea yea yea, uh , I heard this beat way before Kendrick Lamar… I’m just not famous yet

So it seems… yea


We supposed to get beat down and just succumb to this pressure? No I'm descended of kings thats just one up my blessings, Why you so afraid of me, for too long you hated me, but you made me this way you made me this way ain't no saving me, pay us millions to entertain you best watch you say to me

Fact just came to me, that you came from me, tryna reverse these roles? Is you tryna play with me ? White on white can't make no black baby, but black on black sure deliver the fair skin safely

Ain't no fair how you wanna (eh)lim-i-nate me, say pay your fare and do as you told , put a gun to my head when you think I am losing control

Better shoot quick, cause I’m writing a new script, cause you ain't gone bring me here then tell I’m that I’m the nuisance, said you ain't gone bring me fear and spread lies on Fox News, kill my people dead, should be ashamed that you dropped jewels

That's why we ain't ashamed.. to go cop tools, drop dudes cause my life don't matter why should I care that I shot you ? and I got it, I got it, man i swear ima prophet, middle name Elijah because of Elijah Muhammad , so I’m never in the middle of some rumors or some gossip, I am never second fiddle, I dream lucid I live honest

And I.. . promise I'm just tryna keep it respectful , race is just white and black you respect me and I respect you

But see I ain't gone respect you … I guess it's black thing

I ain't gone protect you… I guess it's a white thing

Gotta find someone to sell to … I guess it's a black thing

Make sure I arrest you… I guess it's a white thing
Get on my knees and kiss ya feet.. I guess it's a black thing

And you gone listen to me … I guess it's a white thing

You are under me long as you DARK as some night things, In the palm of my hand .. something just like strings, this is my world I am higher than flight thangs

Yea ya know.. higher than flight thangs

Have a dream , I have a dream, and that’s all it’ll ever be…. Damn

That’s what they are telling me… damn

That’s all I really can see.. damn

On the news and on the tv ..
Everywhere I go I see my people in chains… I’m wondering …

When Will I Be FREE?

When will I be free-e, when will I be…(Gunshot)
