Emaj7 - Emaj 7 - Ebm - [B] [Bbm]
Yeah, you know sometimes I think
They don't truly understand me, you know
Cause they don't, yeah, uh
[Bridge]
Emaj7
Can't change the world unless we change ourselves
Emaj7
Die from the sicknesses if we don't seek the health
Ebm
All eyes be my witness when I speak what's felt
B Bbm
Full house on my hands, the cards I was dealt
Emaj7
Three K's, two A's in AmeriKKKa
Emaj7
I'm just a black spade spawned out the nebula
Ebm
And everything I do or say today that's worthwhile
B Bbm
Will for sure inspire actions in your first child
I'll begin my verse now
[Verse 1]
Emaj7
Sometimes I speak and I feel like it ain't my words
Emaj7
Like I'm just a vessel channeling inside this universe
Ebm
I feel my ancestors unrested inside of me
B Bbm
It's like they want me to shoot my chance in changing society
Emaj7 Emaj7
But how do I go about it? Tell me where I start?
My destiny rerouted when I chose to follow heart
Ebm
You told to follow suit, but tell me what it do for you?
B Bbm
Except weigh you down, now you trapped inside the cubicle
Emaj7
They built for us
Emaj7
The first step into change is to take notice
Ebm
Realize the real games that they tried to show us
B
300 plus years of them cold shoulders
Bbm Emaj7
Yet 300 million of us still got no focus
Emaj7
Sorry America, but I will not be your soldier
Ebm
Obama just wasn't enough, I need some more closure
B
And Donald Trump is not equipped to take this country over
Bbm Emaj7
Let’s face facts 'cause we know what’s the real motives
[Chorus]
Emaj7
In the land of the free, it's full of free loaders
Ebm
Leave us dead in the street to be their organ donors
B
They disorganized my people, made us all loners
Bbm Emaj7
Still got the last names of our slave owners
Emaj7
In the land of the free, it's full of free loaders
Ebm
Leave us dead in the street to be their organ donors
B Bbm
They disorganized my people, made us all loners, yeah
[Bridge]

Emaj7
I'm just a black spade spawned out the nebula
Ebm
And everything I do or say today that's worthwhile
B Bbm
Will for sure inspire actions, hold up, yeah, uh
[Verse 2]
Emaj7 Emaj7
Trickery in the system, put my niggas in prison
Ebm
All our history hidden, ain't no liberty given
B
We all fit the description of what the documents written
Bbm Emaj7
We been lacking the vision and barely making a living
Emaj7
We too worried to fit in while they been benefitin'
Ebm
Every time you submittin', we all guilty admit it
B
The Lord won't get you acquitted, but you still ask for forgiveness
Bbm Emaj7
Put opiates in syringes then inject his religion
Emaj7
How many times do I gotta tell you I'm a man on a mission
Ebm
Many times I gotta tell you I don't need no permission
B
A human with super vision, ain't no livin' condition
Bbm Emaj7
I'm reaching out to my children, just hoping that they will listen
Emaj7
Start a new coalition against corrupt politicians
Ebm
It's not enough pots to piss in, too many murder convictions
B
Another family evicted, another black man a victim
Bbm Emaj7
That's as real as it's getting, you should take recognition
[Chorus]
Emaj7
In the land of the free, it's full of free loaders
Ebm
Leave us dead in the street to be their organ donors

They disorganized my people, made us all loners
