Regardless

The case is won the native son is safe

We’ve rested but now this place’s begun to chafe

But this black boy knew we used to long to write

Now read our lyrics look how wrong we write

Can’t tell wrong from right in the songs we write

Life's like being underground for the longest night

Wish I could bleed for our sins, wish it was easy again

Remember way back when saying brother didn’t mean we were kin

But it did mean we were friends, Black folk were geniuses then

Now we segregate ourselves and smoke weed to fit in

We all know but most just laugh

I feel like Moses when he saw them worship the golden calf

We're better than this, got the finest diamond parts

Forget moving weight, Lets move minds and hearts

Its hard not to sin, and even harder to win playa

Look what protestants prayers did to moccasin wearers

And they'd just finished being oppressed

But they made'em choose either flee or get death

Cannibalism we took their land, we're eating their flesh

We need to protect our queens like bees in a nest

But we hurt our women, hate all of our elderly

Leer at those with knowledge, dap up those with felonies

The whole media targets us, ask arbiters to pardon us

Throw hands in air like we don’t care that white folk be robbin us

How do you have no job but mad game?

How do you have no focus but mad aim?

Jada asked why? People gave him props

But nobody did anything to make those problems stop

We’re living our lives for pleasure, blinded by a diamond’s splendor

More foolishness than I can measure, women shaking pirate’s treasure

It’s a bleak picture being painted by black artists

And the saddest part is that I love you regardless

One love
