Black Gold

Planet Earth is being controlled by (black gold)
No peace in the Middle East because of (black gold)
Blessed soul of Nina Simone that's (black gold)
It's time for all my people to shine like (black gold)

On the same streets where crack sold
The only goal is to be God in the sports world
The right though where raps froze
A place where it's natural to not be in tune
And be a victim of the poison consumed
In many fashion and shapes
Where no one escapes the reality of the paper chase
Either stressed or strung out, struggling for daily grace
You hear the saints chant in prophetic tones

See the deaf, dumb and blind

Strolling through the matrix trapped in a zone

Looking for the closest way home
From a far far land
Where there exist hidden agendas and wicked plans
To destroy the original man and all his worth
And rule the world with this (black gold) beneath the Earth

See many men, women and children must die first
I ask the question "Why?" first
In a time where there's no room to be diverse
As economic chaos surrounds us
The system just hounds us
For giving insight to a people that's boundless

For the thirst of more control and the thirst for blood

For the sake of world order before the
Flood's got capital gain on the brain
It's strange to even fathom the pain
All over the world that this country claims
See, I got soldiers of my own fighting the war in the mind
Living off the system, streets and crime
Hustle and grind, they just wanna shine like (black gold)
Grow old and let the stories unfold
To be told to all of those to come

Darkness dwells on the other side of the sun
Just through the knowledge to how this land is run
You see where I'm coming from?
Gas prices skyrocket for the rich man's profit
While the poor man awaits the return of the prophet
But it's much more than gasoline (black gold)
Exist in so many material things

Rap sold and the media continues to sing
Propaganda to a people who can't think outside of the ring

For example, directly speaking I don't support no war
But when I buy gas for my car, I'm supporting the war
When I turn on the stove and cook food, I'm supporting the war
Basically everything I do, I'm supporting the war with (black gold)
Y'all

Once that oil starts flowing, and money coming
It's going to be lots of money
It's the second largest reserve of oil in the world
There's no question about how much money's there
If it wasn't for the oil, nobody would be there
And nobody would worry about it

And it's going to get better
Start building relationships
Because it's going to get much better
As the oil flows and the budget increase and
The good news is, whatever it costs, the government will pay you

Doom will strike again
