AK (feat. Raheem DeVaughn & Big Rube)

They got a bullet with my name on it
Tryna blow my back out
And you don't pop for the time it pass
Make me wanna scream and shout
Forty days and forty nights
Grandma used to bow her head and pray
Sometimes I feel like no one at all
With my finger on an AK, AK, AK

I'm from the land of the KKK where the AK spray
Where your baby mama sell 30 rock like Tina Fey

Where the cops blind to us dyin' like Charles first name Ray
Where the slaves were made, graves were filled
Where the trill still deal
Where the pills will make you feel a little better

But the pain won't go away
What my uncle used to say
I stopped smokin' crack but then he went back, relapsed
My whole family collapsed, it hurts to talk about that
And when I go back my girl be like "Baby what's the rush?"
I'm like "Last time I checked who gave a fuck about us?"
Mississippi 'til I die, they put my body to dust
I wipe my ass with the rebel flag, ain't givin' a fuck
I'ma stand for my land, it's the place I'm from
Where your grandmammy was born but you scared to come

I'ma stand for my land, it's the place I'm from
Where your grandmammy was born but you scared to come

They got a bullet with my name on it
Tryna blow my back out
And you don't pop for the time it pass
Make me wanna scream and shout
Forty days and forty nights
Grandma used to bow her head and pray
Sometimes I feel like no one at all
With my finger on an AK, AK, AK

I'm from a place that ain't the average rat race
Least not for the black race
American dream, some of these cats chase
Got a fat face, I mean face facts
Some of these white folks hate blacks

Just for tryna take back what they hijacked way back
Tryna stay black but I fortune in the wheels like Say Jack
Say black, you know where I stay at
Marvin Gaye is still blastin' out my 8-track
Got a stomach full of turkey necks and pork fat
That's a snack, got a playback in my head, infinite rewind

Children be cryin', them pigs they be lyin'
See I see more crime than sunshine
Fuck one time, yeah I said it, fuck one time
Better say it two times 'cause any justice we do find
Comes in due time, that's why I got me a new nine
My nigga I'm through tryin' 'cause all my crew dyin'

While they eatin' steak and croutons and gray Poupon
These pigs ain't fine to fuss

Especially when your skin got some pigment
Granny told me to find happiness but that's just a figment
If you stand like a man then they callin' you ign'ant
It's naive on Christmas to call Santa a bigot
And I pray that you dig it
Suppose they bury me but my child's grave I'ma dig it
I'm a slave 'cause they rig it
I'ma stand like a man, it's the place I'm from
Where your grandpappy was born but you scared to come

I'ma stand like a man, it's the place I'm from
Where your grandpappy was born but you scared to come

They got a bullet with my name on it
Tryna blow my back out
And you don't pop for the time it pass
Make me wanna scream and shout
Forty days and forty nights
Grandma used to bow her head and pray
Sometimes I feel like no one at all
With my finger on an AK, AK, AK

I'm from a place where they hung us from peach trees and dogwoods

Now we hang on streets paved with
Enslaved souls still sayin' it's all good

The dirt is red and turned muddy from sweat, tears and blood
Of our great great grandparents so respect been earned for it

You best show it 'cause those who don't are just mockin' the very core
Of what our people stood, sat in, marched, laid down and died for
Laid down their lives for all of us so
Let's discuss what we should feel pride for

When the last time you threatened the life of a white man?

But look how quick we tell a brother
We'll murk him right where he stand
Can't stand for the bullshit if I'm breathin' a little bit
My AK with the full clip is the staff and I'm Moses
Partin' the mind's ocean with a prose swarm like locusts
Erupt from the past mantle with a flow passed to dismantle
The damage that's been done 'fore a nigga was even born
So whether the buildings are real tall or the fields are real wide
The South's my real home so I'm speakin' from real pride
As I stand 'cause I'm a man and this is the place I'm from

Our people suffered in this land and now y'all scared to come
