Lyrics Roots (feat. 420 Lif) - Mu Real

Murder
Lynched
Raped
Hurt
Shit ain't never change
Still the same it's been since square 1
Yea I see it every day
9-5 Just to get to by in life
We slaving every day
So much bodies dropping falling
Yea I'm hurt in Every way

One nation
Under god
With liberty and justice for all?
No
I can't even go get up and jog no
This system built against us and we all know
Yea we all know
If one of us gone go to war
We all go
Coppers killin people and ain't no one take the fall no
We be thinking all for one
What about one for all tho
They created poverty now look at us we broke
And I ain't talking paper no
I'm talking bout our mindsets
Justice for our people
That's one thing that we ain't find yet
My people is dying
Families is crying
We done had enough
My people out here starting riots
You one of the homies
Oh Man I don't even buy it
Oh You wanna say nigga huh
Man don't you even try it
If you never been victimized
By cops
Then you Don't feel my pain
Your people was whipping
My people was whipped inside of chains
Your people is privileged
My people praying for brighter days
Death over dishoner
This ain't the game that you want to play
If You don't have sacrifice
Ya culture you don't know the hurt
You don't wanna trade places
That a be a real reverse
Momma cried as soon she left the projects
And I feel with her
She don't don't want her son being a victim
And it's killing her
Lemme ask a question
You heard of the slave trade?
People stripped of freedom
So What you think the slaves prayed?
They done prayed for mercy
Tryna be released from the whips and chains
Now my people praying on they knees to buy whips and chains
Man nothing changed
It's safe to say that we're still enslaved
All of this is mental
Just think and you gonna feel a way

Murder
Lynched
Raped
Hurt
Shit ain't never change
Still the same it's been since square 1
Yea I see it every day
9-5 Just to get to by in life
We slaving every day
So much bodies dropping falling
Yea I'm hurt in Every way

Water Water Water aye voss...
Tryna drown out the chaos...
You just cop a chain, what it cost?
Every time you gain, you take a loss...
And nigga that's a lesson...
Pray my brethren stay protected...
So many blessings...
I can't even count the blessings...
Onto the greater things I still gotta lessen.
Simplify
Words of the wise
Instead of taking action
You record
Lights camera action
You want an award
We got enough actors
We got enough rappers
We need some warriors cuz we in a war
Black president nun really changed...
It was a ploy to keep
The rest of the world entertained...
Look at the USA
They nice to they slaves
Now they showing they Trump card
Issa a new day
It's not about race
It's about money
Now about face
And march for ya country
That's how you turn the other cheek
It's cheap labor and
The 1% doesn't discriminate
Against the face of bummy
Every race got poverty
Domination possibly
Over the world
Is where the plotting stops
You are the progeny
Of a people that went to the enslaver
And asked em to save em
Niqqa you got to save yourself
Just act in that favor

Murder
Lynched
Raped
Hurt
Shit ain't never change
Still the same it's been since square 1
Yea I see it every day
9-5 Just to get to by in life
We slaving every day
So much bodies dropping falling
Yea I'm hurt in Every way
