lyrics

this one goes out to hip-hop culture worldwide
Black Lives Matter

yo it still ain't right - so we up all night (x8)

nobody wants to be a profile for a living
I stand along with with black america and their position
the power structure's making sure to keep race a division
but it's more a class action, kinda like it always has been
I come from the city of steel, and Carnegie
who knew he had a crew of immigrants working hard, daily
he paid them less than they deserved, by far
because he said that they'd just spend it at the bar
what you think? all that hard work deserves a little drink
it's like they tell you how to feel and try to tell you what to think
what to do, who to pray to - you been saved? you a Jew?
you got the blood of a slave? you got the chip in your tooth?
listen closely - the first step is to build a better YOU
develop variable skill sets, and continue to improve
I'm talking basic training, sergeant in your face before the sun is up
it still ain't right, we've gotta train for the fight

it still ain't right - so we up all night (x8)
