Listen to it a few times, then hit me up and let me know what you think. There's a lot to unpack, but it's definitely all real.

lyrics

Through the lights, camera's and actions
Freeze frames with the killer captions
Bloody bodies with the hue of the darkest Africans
Time passes, slave trades, and Birth of Nations
Universe expanding, but you still seeing the same constellations
Candid conversations, when I have to
Never pledge allegiance to a flag
Or a Babylonian statue
Statutes for the uneducated, poor and hungry
So Pac wrote Daniel
Translated
Only God Can Judge Me
Remember that, when you're racing for assimilation
Compromising creation
You're thinking it's integration
But integration requires
Adoption of practices from both sides
Trapped in a colonized condition
And when thoughts collide
Indoctrination
Or the industrial prison complex
Either you're a man
Or you're another man's conquest
So keep killing in the meantime
It only gets worse
The cost curve is flatter than the planet earth

Digesting data
To ascertain a human's worth
As you pay taxes
As a deposit
For a lot that you inhabit
While corporations
Master manipulation
Take buyouts from your taxes
Then avoid statutory taxation
While most emcees master in complication
I've mastered the art of concrete simplification
Since I study mathematics in my free time
I know PHDs who see me and immediately take a b-line
Although it's all ordered by the divine
According to Ramses's hieroglyphs
Most men are part feline
So give me space and let me build with my people
Presidential voting
The lesser of two evil
Navigating daily with people who say they hate me
Building in the system, but losing myself gracefully
Get yours
Watch as the prophetic wheel rolls
And put a few Harriett Tubmans in your billfold
