Letra de Nat Turner - Talib Kweli & Madlib

(Feat. Madlib, Cassper Nyovest, Seun Kuti)

And he get's excited-

(Dr. Dre)

No matter how hard you try to be, here's what they think about you

(Paul Congemi)

You and your people, you talk about reparations

The reparations that you talk about, your people already got your reparations

Your reparations came in the form of a man named Barack Obama (Get out of here)

My advice to you, my advice to you, if you don’t like it here in America, planes leave every hour

Go back to Africa, go back to Africa

Go Back!

You and your people..

This feels like we're going back to the future

I'm on my way now

History repeating itself like every two months

Man this shit is getting played out

I wish Kanye West woulda met Credo Mutwa (A mo tsenye verstaan)

Eish, nkare kea mona ka Maybach ko Kuruman (You ain't got the answers, Sway)

That would be too much

Ana re lea nkutlwa, eintlek, dintshang?

The lost ones are gone, I hope we win some

Dumb as fuck even though you seem smart

Go back to Africa is actually not an insult (Nah)

That would be a dream come true

The trip ain't cheap, the seats, plus food

The animals are wild and the scenes are cool

And plus you get to dance like you see us do

Man, we live a cool ass life

For instance, I was in the hood last night

Watch out, pull up in a cool ass ride

Chill, everything good, that's right (That's right)

'Cause nobody gon' take my life here (Nah)

'Specially for 'caine and some light gear

Kwe', you ever wanna make that move?

Just send me a little text, my nigga, and I'll be right there

Skrrrr!

I'ma scoop you up in a Beam

You could buy a crib in Cape Town for the sea (Nice)

Or we could set you up in Durban

Summer all year, the weather is not a burden (Nice)

You choose, it's a win win

Yeah, yeah. However the cookie crumble

On that note, I would like to remind every single one'a y'all

That Africa's not a jungle

Bitch!

Watch how we do it independent

Focused on African Independence

In any competition, bro, we winnin'

You ain't felt this free in a minute

Illegally a slave in prison

Give your money to decide about amendments

Nat Turner with the burner or business

Let's get free for a livin'

We will never get freedom from imitating oppressors

Divide and conquer keep us from innovating together

We sick of these aggressors, insinuating their better

The algorithm is racist, discrimination is meta

We do it for the culture and call it a Sankofa

They venomous, labelled a snake, can't cover middle passage

Jump on the boat when they came over

Colonial hangover. Slave owner, your reign over

We talkin' and spittin' in slang-time

We walk in a rhythm, we bang drums

They used to cut off our feet so we can't run

Anger stranger than fruit of the tree that we swang from

The darker the berry the sweeter the juice

You don't need to believe when you lead with the truth

They cite you as proof when they need to recruit

You bein' a puppet, they speakin' through you

We came a long way from Adidas to light Yeezus

Can't stain the right sneakers to pray to a white Jesus

Michelangelo was commissioned by white leaders

To paint him with white features

Behavin' just like creatures

They some motherfuckin' monsters

The Koch Brothers just as nazi as Tucker Carlson

We Never Ignorant and we Gettin' these Goals Accomplished

You ain’t gotta like to read to be conscious

Sway handled the efforts and responses [?]

Niggas ain't free cuz they think we need sponsors

Too many young rappers in the courtroom

Notice how they try to keep us in boxes

Africa unite, they can't stop us

Reparations now and hands off asylum

Blackstar we poppin' in Ghana

Runnin' in through the plaza

Yellin' out "?"

Watch how we do it independent

Focused on African Independence

In any competition bro we winnin'

You ain't felt this free in a minute

Illegally a slave in prison

Give your money to decide about amendments

Nat Turner with the burner or business

Let's get free for a livin'

Y'know it's hard to be black in a world controlled by white folks

Du Bois said, they always had the double-consciousness

You're tryna be black, meanwhile you got a white ghost hovering over your head that says, "if you don't do this, you'll get killed. If you don't do this, you won't get no money. If you don't do this, nobody will think you're beautiful. If you don't do this nobody will think you're smart."

That's the ghost. You're trying to be black but the ghost is telling you to be a ghost

We hope you won't slip
