Take it all Back

about

This is a joint about slavery through the ages in all its various forms

lyrics

Take it all back
We gon’ take it all back
Make it break their back
Shut down the system
Wipe clean the track
Let’s take it all back
Make it break their back
Shut down the system
Wipe clean the track (Chorus)
More slaves died on the ships than on the shores
Plantations, triangle trades, and tribal wars
The holocaust occurred before the First World War
And it’s still taking place today in a different form
‘Cause we think it’s the norm eviction notices and layoffs
Federal agents, corporate scams, and payoffs,
Outrageous taxes and not enough days off
To justify insufficient benefits to cover a cough
Let’s say my water gets shut off what can I do
If my electricity’s out and my phone is down too?
Expand from micro to macro encompass a world view
Perceive problems overseas can pose a threat to you
In a breath you can do what nations can’t even achieve
I inhale find peace become rooted and believe
This is one love, there’s only one way to leave
Exhale, release deceit allow love to lead.
(Chorus)
Foreign lands foreign shores white sand beaches of war
Covered in blood while the USO does covering tours
My offering’s pure this world is diluted manure
Give me a SHURE and I’ll write the ills cleansing tour
That’sGoodness strike De La Corazon
Or the belly of the beast that freedom calls home
On my land where free tribes used to roam
Now we’re hunted like buffalo lost tribes in a zone
Investing in twenty inch chromes for protection
While eight remains the section awaiting the resurrection
Getting high staying fly on a constant mission for sexing
Forgetting the reflections of Cube’s Lethal Injections
Becoming prey to predators praying for inoculations
From the ramifications of their poor decision making
Like tasting fly AIDS vagina of an undecided major
I only come to spread truth from the S.W.A.T.S. to Decatur
(Chorus)
What’s the drop? …This a two thousand year old plot
Throughout the ages …don’t stop the rock
Vibrate the stages … don’t stop the rock
Don’t stop the rock …don’t stop the rock
Now …scream until your lungs pop then ask for more
Of that high strung whore snorting lines off the floor
Licking fingers clean in between lips and the jaw
Content with low rent and not looking for more
Bombard the shores load up the eighteen-wheelers
Hold up freight trains until conductors feel us
Give me the loot ante up its greed and lust
I need the cash investments stocks and trusts
Or just hate prejudice and inequality
Condescending attitudes with common realities
America the ugly with its beautiful casualties
We’re having a black tie affair so come casual please
. (Chorus) ©
