If niggas stopped fighting and started uniting, to the top of the world we would be rising

Instead of barely surviving

If niggas killed the ill will between us by destroying our poisoned heart’s self-hate we could finally take control of our own fate

Instead of putting our welfare and safety in a government that still utilizes systematic slavery

Be it the cotton field, corporate prison yard or the sports field

If we ever want to overcome the Donald sterling’s of the world and by us for us we want our fates decided then we must stop being so divided,

then there would be no one that could stop us, in the promise LAND, we could be thriving, instead of living in the slums barely surviving!
