You see the problem with America is Y’all want us to forget history Y’all say, “why is the black murder rate so high?” You got to think. This is something new It wasn’t high back in the 50’s, the 40’s, the 30’s No, the Italians was slaughtering each other The white man was the killer. He was killing us This is fairly new Now why, because all of our black leaders was killed In the 60’s, the late 60’s Dr. Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, John F. Kennedy After they were killed, we ran destruction We didn’t have no guidance So what did we do? We start murdering and killing each other When they killed Fred Hampton, they took a picture of him and showed it to your black ass This man of the Black Panther Party One thing you Americans got to learn Is the black man was stripped, we don’t know our last name We don’t know our language So when you say, “why the black man running around killing each other?” What else we gon’ do? We was stripped of our identity Now you Americans You people are celebrating Thanksgiving The celebration of a slaughter of a whole nation Letras de cancionesAnd you celebrate it in your July 4ths ‘Cause you’re confused, but I’m woke And I know I’m American made America made us like this See, it was the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King John F. Kennedy And that was after slavery Or Fred Hampton But we still was acting cool though Malcolm X We ain’t start murdering each other ‘til like the 60’s, or the early 70’s When all our leaders was killed That was when we start murdering each other We got confused This shit new to us, for real Now we’re in the state of destruction right now Right now American Made C’mon Lo, c’mon Lo Damn!
