Lyrics Open Letter to America - Mouraine
Look
we
take
high
stakes
Hikes
up
the
mountain
of
success
And
Cross
lakes
It′s
rare
for
make
a
nigga
to
make
it
out
Of
this
place
rare
like
a
steak
I'm
Rare
in
traffic
to
the
jakes
Quick
to
pull
me
over
for
simplest
mistake
Even
though
I′m
nervous
I
don't
flinch
Cuz
he'll
never
hesitate
Quick
to
empty
the
clips
if
I
don′t
cooperate
They′ll
kill
every
black
man
If
they
keep
it
at
this
rate
Wait
wait
wait
wait...
Gun
shots
Damn
am
I
live
still
I
see
my
stomach
bleeding
But
I
don't
feel...
no
pain
Last
I
thing
that
could
register
Me
driving
in
the
lane
Damn
I
can′t
believe
I'm
never
gonna
see
me
my
momma
again
Cuz
the
law
was
trigger
happy
I
heard
90
percent
Communication
non
verbal
So
I
know
you
understand
me
My
hands
was
on
the
wheels
I
never
had
it
on
me
You
don′t
value
the
fact
That
a
nigga
got
family
And
a
future
ahead
I
was
doing
9-5
just
to
get
me
some
bread
Is
when
I
met
a
gun
They
won't
even
let
me
get
my
hand
on
the
That′s
why
they
keep
us
in
traps
And
throw
us
in
slums
A
black
man
in
America
I'm
just
a
black
man
in
America...
Oh
La
La
la
Keep
your
hands
in
the
air
if
you're
seeing
law
Oh
La
La
la
Keep
your
hands
in
the
air
if
you′re
tryna
survive
Oh
La
La
la
Inside
of
the
barrel
is
the
scariest
sights
Oh
La
La
la
I
know
they
got
a
strategy
Keep
us
mentally
slaves
Systematic
ideology
That′s
why
a
doctor
overseas
A
man
with
degrees
In
America
drives
a
taxi
Let
it
sink
in
I
wish
the
slave
ships
would've
sunken
That
way
we
wouldn′t
be
in
this
position
I
know
its
fucked
up
How
we
end
up
slaves
from
kings
Is
bad
luck?
Or
is
it
karma
Cuz
even
at
wars
we
wore
love
as
our
armour
In
seven
hundred
elven
Ad
The
moors
were
in
charge
of
The
Iberian
peninsula
modern
day
Georgia
From
the
kingdom
of
Mali
king
Mensa
Musa
Richest
man
to
exist
and
he
never
had
jeweller
This
the
black
excellence
I'm
tryna
introduce
to
ya
But
they
only
highlight
our
Achilles
heels
They
want
us
killing
each
other
instead
siding
together
Cuz
that′s
what
really
heels
The
soul
and
the
mind
Lets
put
our
egos
aside
Let
our
powers
collide
Stand
together
inline
Black
man
will
run
America
Oh
La
La
la
Keep
your
hands
in
the
air
if
you're
seeing
law
Oh
La
La
la
Keep
your
hands
in
the
air
if
you′re
tryna
survive
Oh
La
La
la
Inside
of
the
barrel
is
the
scariest
sights
Oh
La
La
la
