Aiyyo, put one in the air for the ancestors, 'Cause without them there'd be no us, that's There's something on my mind, everyday, all the It's the legacy, Generations of black people Now this
Aiyyo, I think about this government, three strikes capital Enslaved my peoples for four hundred, yeah, some Often dream of goin' in time and givin' slaves guns So can watch the master run
Watch them try to get away then clap his back with the shotgun I got one, let's cut his off Let's take it to Harriet Tubman, show her we ready to set it off She get Nat Turner, Nat go get
Sojourner send a messenger for Touissant Through the railroad we go Through the dark to the edge of forest to with Denmark Vessel, you he got soldiers ready
Ready to like lions, in the Serengeti So like a we rush the plantation fire to everything, burn them down like cremation No hesitation, up the black nation
Kill them devils, his ships and head back for the mainland The game plan, yet and still it's just a I never forget, in my it never leave, aiyyo
I never forget, in my it never leave These dreams filled days of slavery Never forget, in my it never leave These filled with days of slavery
I never forget, in my mind it never These dreams with days of slavery Never forget, in my mind it leave These dreams filled days of slavery
Yo, aiyyo, was a slave Every baby she'd the master would take away She seen one long enough to give a name Every time the master rape, Jamie'd feel ashamed
She was fourteen Violated, used and abused, far from a I met Jamie in a I gave her a brand new M-16 with two
I told her time he come around Act you want him, get him to lay down sure that he take off his clothing After that I you to fill him up, full of bullet holes
