Not the losers but the winners tell the story Ignore the truth Take out the gorey details and get the glory My Grandfather died when I was a shorty He fought for a country It couldn't be his cause til this day they still dont want me My Great-Grandmother put Arsenic in The Master's tea After she came from hearin a speech from Marcus Garvey Not seperate or evil So fuck Fergerson and Plessi Our folks and slaves, bringin it like Nat Turner and Denmark Besy The age of the industy the plantation system was dead Let em work, they can make a enough to eat and put a roof over their head You still a muthafuckin slave Doesn't matter if you near white, a little light Or blacker than a thousand midnights We writin a new age with new slaves We need to bless the stage Cause the audience' brains affected by the devils like Cage Call us brave but the system got our peoples actin depraved Forget the years you been alive We livin in the same age Yo tell me where your mind is at We livin in the same age Take that with you to your grave Grow up before you show up Take that with you to your grave Grow up before you show up
