Message To The Black Man Lyrics
[I did it kinda fast, so expect mistakes]
Chorus]
My people,
You're sp'osed to be my people, aint ya?
But my people ain't somethin' that I see, cause...
Ain't enough of you at my shows,
We been all over the globe,
Yea, we makin' that dough,
But ya'll ain't spendin' it...
My people,
You're sp'osed to be my people, aint ya?
But my people ain't somethin' that I see, cause...
Ain't enough of you up on my records,
Or peepin' my shows,
Ya'll don't know that I'm about to become boss,
And take control...
[Verse 1]
It started on the slave shit,
Them field niggas would eventually take the day shift,
With house niggas, inside, loyalty may shift,
And it did divide us, now we still need a race lift,
Fuck a face lift,
I ain't changin' my identity for energy from any,
That's obscenities,
Now in two-thousand and seven,
We sick and ain't no remedies,
Jealousy, Envy, and Murder like you ain't no kin to me,
Guess we ain't, nigga, we go hard in the paint, nigga,
Still when you see me out, you ain't the one to flake, nigga,
It's the other fans, from them other lands,
They listen to me more than my sister and brother, man,
I can see if I was a whack motha fucka,
Bitchin' about the way that my people act, motha fucka,
But I do spit, my people don't be so fuckin' reclusive,
Get off'a ya lazy ass, like you know somethin' about music...
[Chorus]
My people,
You're sp'osed to be my people, aint ya?
But my people ain't somethin' that I see, cause...
Ain't enough of you at my shows,
We been all over the globe,
Yea, we makin' that dough,
But ya'll ain't spendin' it...
My people,
You're sp'osed to be my people, aint ya?
But my people ain't somethin' that I see, cause...
Ain't enough of you up on my records,
Or peepin' my shows,
Ya'll don't know that I'm about to become boss,
And take control...
[Verse 2]
You cry about the way I paint my face,
It ain't ya'll taste,
Little homie, let me state my case,
I'm not a devil or damn jester,
Rumors can fester,
Never uplift the demon with the image of my ancestors,
Africans, act like you see me when you be trafficin',
Laughter when you frown up at me,
Your hatred is bafflin',
You watch American Idol?
My People, my paints is tribal,
It symbolizes, not evil, but the Will, Skill, and Survival.
You niggas be so tough, the moment we roll up,
Your upper lip rolled up,
You're hatin' and so what,
Everyone knows us,
My city is sewed up,
My shows crush,
But ya'll don't show up,
They say it's more than money, bitches, whores,
It's funny, this is war,
My people at his door,
And I'm knockin',
Meanwhile, we rockin' globally and it's sad, man,
Light black attendence got my people lookin' real bad, man...
[Chorus]
My people,
You're sp'osed to be my people, aint ya?
But my people ain't somethin' that I see, cause...
Ain't enough of you at my shows,
We been all over the globe,
Yea, we makin' that dough,
But ya'll ain't spendin' it...
My people,
You're sp'osed to be my people, aint ya?
But my people ain't somethin' that I see, cause...
Ain't enough of you up on my records,
Or peepin' my shows,
Ya'll don't know that I'm about to become boss,
And take control...
[Verse 3]
Hey, I wouldn't be bitchin' if I didn't want you around me,
The way you write me off as a demon astounds me,
Brotha Lynch, Fou'ty, Water, Federation,
DMX, Busta Rhymes, Quincy, and X-Clan found me,
Brother J, homey,
He with me 'til this day, homey,
Who you know that's blacker than that,
With a staff and a 'Lac,
My people lovin' that trash, in they rap,
I'm immaculate,
Maybe they'd grab it if I was blastin' a mac...
Attackin' my people,
'Cause I'm black, and I'm lethal,
With this rap, I don't trap,
I don't crack,
Why do you be so close-minded when I'm rhymin',
Wishin' you could find it,
Everybody but you motha fuckas get behind it,
And I'm doper than a key, nigga,
Message to we niggas,
Rockin' sold out shows is where I'm gonna be, nigga,
And that's all I'll sell out,
Somethin' you should see, nigga,
Bet you would come and see it,
If I told you it was free, nigga..
[Chorus]
My people,
You're sp'osed to be my people, aint ya?
But my people ain't somethin' that I see, cause...
Ain't enough of you at my shows,
We been all over the globe,
Yea, we makin' that dough,
But ya'll ain't spendin' it...
My people,
You're sp'osed to be my people, aint ya?
But my people ain't somethin' that I see, cause...
Ain't enough of you up on my records,
Or peepin' my shows,
Ya'll don't know that I'm about to become boss,
And take control...
My people,
You're sp'osed to be my people, aint ya?
But my people ain't somethin' that I see, cause...
Ain't enough of you at my shows,
We been all over the globe,
Yea, we makin' that dough,
But ya'll ain't spendin' it...
My people,
You're sp'osed to be my people, aint ya?
But my people ain't somethin' that I see, cause...
Ain't enough of you up on my records,
Or peepin' my shows,
Ya'll don't know that I'm about to become boss,
And take control...
