paroles de chanson Black Zombie - Nas

Yo, do you believe when they say we ain′t shit, we can't grow?
All we are is dope dealers, and gangstas and hoes?
And you believe when they be telling you lie, all on the media?
They make the world look crazy to keep you inside?
Why you listen to the teachers at school?
Know you a young single parent out struggling, they think you a fool.
Give your kids bad grades, and put them in dumber classes
Killing shorty future, I wonder how do we last it?
Underground in they casket, ancestors turning
I′m learning something everyday, there is no Lazarus
Words like God is Greek or Latin
So if you study Egypt,
You'll see the truth written by the masters.
My niggas is chilling, getting high, relaxing.
Invisioning, owning shit, yo it can happen.
What do we own?
Not enough land, not enough homes,
Not enough banks, to give my brother a loan.
What do we own?
The skin on our backs, we run and we ask
For reparations, they hit us with tax
And insurance if we live to be old, what about now?
So stop being controlled, we black zombies
Walking talking dead, though we think we're livin′
We just copy-cat, following the system
Walking talking dead, though we think we′re livin'
We just copy-cat, following the system
(Black zombies)
Hey yo we trapped in our own brain, fuck behind bars
