Spirit Lyrics

You know how the story go , royalty rocking gold

Boats pull up to the shores , priceless but we sold

Least that what we told in school

They don't teach us bout no mores

Hidden colors put me on

Tariq, Umar call that truce

What would Pac and Biggie do

What would Malcom , Martin do

Do the most become a hero to the folks that look like you

Can you handle eyes of uncle sam when they stare at you

Can you handle when they flip the script and turn your pain to news

If Jesus real he was black cuz they killed him thats my proof

Many nights I harm myself doing what youngins do

Pay attention how they do black folks when we stand for some

Can i handle consequences if history repeat itself

Many nights I watch the mirror just to see if I would bail

Malcom living like a dead man is some to comprehend

I wonder if they had ideas, bout how they life would end

I caught the spirit of my ancestors took the torch and ran

I caught the spirit of my ancestors took the torch and ran

I caught the spirit of my ancestors took the torch and ran

I caught the spirit of my ancestors took the torch and ran

Caught the spirit of my , caught the spirit of my

I caught the spirit of my ancestors took the torch and ran

I caught the spirit of my ancestors took the torch and ran

I caught the spirit of my ancestors took the torch and ran

Caught the spirit of my , caught the spirit of my

Cost of freedom wasn't free its still blood on the tab

Gotta Blakkk Jersey for a rebel looking for a cause

Load your mind that be a weapon hop off in a car thats paid for

Play new choppa spray at everything from Santa Claus to Massa

Master self, we master us and then we go and face the world

I might put a black wallstreet on every corner of the world

Rule 1 we buy from us but we gone sale to everyone

2 much black plus 2 much love still equal forever

Shoutout all the master teachers that went and beat the system and gave us all these gems in the name of stuntin'

I might go back in time just to play this for Nat Turner

On my way back to the present get that truce between Big and Tupac

Taking flights to Havana , hope i come across Assata

I be sitting with the elders yeah i need all the knowledge

I be talking to my peers cuz the youth got all the power

Caught the spirit of my ancestors never stopped running

I caught the spirit of my ancestors took the torch and ran

I caught the spirit of my ancestors took the torch and ran

I caught the spirit of my ancestors took the torch and ran

Caught the spirit of my , caught the spirit of my

I caught the spirit of my ancestors took the torch and ran

I caught the spirit of my ancestors took the torch and ran

I caught the spirit of my ancestors took the torch and ran

Caught the spirit of my , caught the spirit of my
