Meshell Ndegeocello - Dead Nigga Blvd. (Pt. 1) songtekst
Je score:
You sell your soul Like you sell a piece of ass Slave to the dead white leaders on paper And welfare cases Rapists and hoes All reinforced your TV show Exotic and beautiful videos Yeah A jail's a sanctuary for the walking dead It fucks with your head When every black leader ends up dead Somebody said Our greatest destiny is to become white But white is not pure And hate is not pride And just 'cause civil rights is law Doesn't mean that we all abide So tell me are you free? While we campaign for every dead nigga blvd So young motherfuckers can drive down it in your fancy cars Free You try to hold on to some Africa of the past One must remember It's other Africans that helped enslave your ass 'Cause everybody's Just trying to make to make that dollar Remember what Jesse used to say? I am somebody No longer do I blame others For the way that we be 'Cause niggas need to redefine What it means to be free I can't even tell my brothers and sisters that they're fine This absence of beauty In their heart and mind Stopped breastfeeding the child You put 'em on the cow And now you wonder why they act wild You see brown folks are the Keepers of the earth Unifiers of the soul and mind Not these wannabe gaudy pimps and thugs Wearing diamond watches From African slave mines Perhaps to be free Is to all love those who hate me And die a beautiful death And make pretty brown babies You campaign for every dead nigga blvd So y'all young motherfuckers can drive down it in their fancy cars You try to hold on to some Africa of the past Then one must remember It's other Africans that helped enslave your ass Everybody's trying to make that dollar Remember what Jesse used to say? I am somebody No longer do I blame others For the way that we be 'Cause niggas need to redefine What it means to be free You campaign for every dead nigga blvd Just trying to make that dollar So y'all young motherfuckers can drive down it in your fancy cars You try to hold on to some Africa of the past Then one must remember It's other Africans that helped enslave your ass 'Cause everybody's Trying to make to make that dollar Remember what Jesse used to say? I am somebody No longer do I blame white folks For the way that we be 'Cause niggas need to redefine What it means to be Free.
