Legacy ft. The Hive Lyrics

The mind such a terrible thing to waste

And I don't even know what to think today

We all got American dreams to chase

Forty acres an a mule they ain't teachin this in school yo

Cold wind blow through my souls window

We got Wade vs Roe

And the new Jim Crow

Constitutional code all the wrongs we've wrote

Sick of seeing five zero off another camera phone

Sound like the beast that's the sound of police

Put a target on a king make him bargain for a plea

Used to toss them in the sea now you toss away the keys

Might plant it under seats just to give you strike three

Sign of white privilege more silent politicians

Another homicide victim just a modern day lynching

We got cotton in the stitching got a sweat shop system

In a private stock prison

Kind of over crowded is it

Look birth of a nation through mass incarceration

Cop car feeling

Like a ride on the slave ship

Twenty five to life in a cage I'll say

Who made America great when it was built by slaves

I'll never understand the pain to have a slave last name

Or be the product of rape in this white mans game

Shit is deep strange fruit hanging on the tree

Tiki torch reeks of that tall white sheet

And I don't like the smell of it clansmen delegates

Donkey or an elephant prolly both confederate

Another false narrative rebel flag heritage

Blood line marriages made an American

They don't get the bigger picture

Gotta tell another white friend not to say

Go figure

Only see a baller or a stripper

A rapper or a dealer

Yet you still get triggered

I'm so tired of the white lie bias

Same thing you want to pass down to you child

What about the poets and the scholars

Inventors and the authors

Supreme leading freedom fighting martyrs

That's real black excellence

This the remembrance

No more censorship welfare spending it

Health care plan don't plan for its citizens

Cell block resembling

The project building

But they say it's for the greater good

Gentrify the neighborhood

Want to raise rent but not everybody's paper good

Whitey on the moon they be whiting out the truth

And they lied to me too wasnt nothing I could do

It's more than just having a black friend or singing and rapping

Or knowing every hip hop classic

Who's willing to kneel march out in the field

Through any ordeal just to see how it feels

Man I'm sick of fake activist

They delay the catalyst

Blind eye pacifist bitching about Kaepernick

They ain't really down for the haul

Loot the capitol lawn

Sabotaging the cause

Now they calling SWAT
