With Evolution... Comes Revolution

With Slavery... Come Freedom

Pick up your history book and see

How my people was able to create

Doctors, Lawyers, Leaders, Soldiers, Pro Athletes,

Entertainers, Politicians,Entrepreneurs...

We came a long way

But we got a long way to go



Refrain

Tell 'em who my people is

Ya'll know who my people is

Man they shed so many tears

Tell' em who my people is (x4)



Master P

From Georgia to Alabama to Mississippi

They threw him in the slammer

That boy didn't have not rights

He tried to live his life

They burned crosses in his yard

Just to scare his wife

Thanks to him we dream

January 15

That's why we celebrate Martin Luther King

Times real though

Kickers kick no field goals

Harriet Tubman...

Built the underground railroads

Medgar Ever...

Took us to the promised land

While we running round here

With guns in our hands

Don't even exercise...

Our right to vote

And blame the gouvernement

Cause our people still broke

Young athletes don't know who babe ruth is

Bet ya gang bangers know who snoop is

booker T. Washington opened up the school doors

Thanks to Frederick Douglas

Slavery is no more



Refrain (x4)



Romeo

Similar to Besty Coleman, Malcom X

Cause I'm bout to make history

Like a cold war

I ain't shooting at the enemy

why I feel like I'm living up in slavery

I need a strong woman kinda like Ms. Winfrey

Hey bay-bay

Hey bay-bay

You could be my bay-bay-bay

If you looking for a soldier

I could lead your army O-kay-kay-kay

I'm proven I got ready J

If rap was ball, I'll be MJ

We living in a world

Where they still got KKK

I wanna be a leader like True Blackwell

Tell ya teacher, I'm here to help

My pants sag, But I wear a belt

Police pull us over

Then they call their friends for help

Why they need 10 cops?

I' m just rolling by myself

That's a punk mentality

I ain't going no where

Try to stop violence

We don't need another Red Scare

I got the blood of a king

It's a straight fact

We been down for too long

We bout to bounce back



Refrain (x4)



Master P

Black History

I told ya'll

We was gonna keep it street

And we gonna learn something

At the same time

Now ya'll know who I am

And ya'll know who my people are

Hip Hop History

of the movement

Ya heard?

TAKE A STAND RECORDS
