Let It Burn ft. Patty Honcho, Backwood Sweetie, IAMGAWD & Greeneryy Lyrics

Let me tell you a story

Once upon a time a man got fucked

Now how is that for a story

Cuz that's the story of black people in America

Let me paint a picture of what's waiting for you on the shore

You all get to be slaves

Split up, sold off, and worked to death

A hundred years later…you're fucked

A hundred years after that…fucked

A hundred years after you get free you still getting fucked out of jobs

And shot at by police you see what I'm saying

Cuz a crooked cop cruising down the wrong block

Can leave it bruised

Slain bodies stained black and blue

But one shot aimed at just the right spot

Can drop an elephant with a twenty-two

Cuz a crooked cop cruising down the wrong block

Can leave it bruised

Slain bodies stained black and blue

But one shot aimed at just the right spot

Can drop an elephant with a twenty-two

(Authentic)

Don't stop the hustle if it pay good

Crazy you and brothers catching bodies in the same hood

Y'all trying to fuck the ballers career up like Spencer Haywood

Y'all should be protecting them niggas and they know that they should

My faith pulled me through heavy snow and dust storms I fed the game

Saw Horned Frogs, Grizzlies and shooters like he Desmond Bane

I measure pain by looking at my past we in better lanes

They said a plane came in the eighties then the streets fled with cane

The weapon bang and pause that motion

It's contact smoking from bars that potent

Put you on your ass like you Claudette Colvin

If I don't own a hundred percent then the contract broken

Not a superstar but a star that's floating

This shit ancestral

I'm Jesse Owens running the moment gimme my metal

Shit I'm Bessie Coleman flyer than most men I can propel you

Protect your aura, first of my kind like word to Ethel Waters

I want a billie for my first and second daughter

This for the future

This guy gets it

I like him

He's getting angry

Angry is good

Angry gets…shit…done

Cuz a crooked cop cruising down the wrong block

Can leave it bruised

Slain bodies stained black and blue

But one shot aimed at just the right spot

Can drop an elephant with a twenty-two

Cuz a crooked cop cruising down the wrong block

Can leave it bruised

Slain bodies stained black and blue

But one shot aimed at just the right spot

Can drop an elephant with a twenty-two

Welcome to Hell on Earth, America

Home of the lost souls

Walking amongst devils and snakes

Niggas forgot the code

This must be the fifth wave

The way they killing they own

This Game Of Thrones

But when all the pieces fall you got nothing to show

Only disgruntled behavior

Trapped by your mental enslavement

Reach thru cracks of the cement

Bloodied up vines in the pavement

Echoed from previous decades

Niggas hellbent on revenge

Fuck friends, need nobody

Pac still relevant so I binge

Find a means to an end, been writing more

Shots ring out and spray the block

Infants lore, you can hear the lioness roar

The family unit is Pride

Mothers carry the weight of the world on their shoulders

Promise you'll understand when you get older

They been programmed from birth with shitty food options

Contaminated drinking water, gun violence, police brutality

And trauma after trauma after trauma

Do you see progress

I count one, two, three African gods in this room

Cuz a crooked cop cruising down the wrong block

Can leave it bruised

Slain bodies stained black and blue

But one shot aimed at just the right spot

Can drop an elephant with a twenty-two

Cuz a crooked cop cruising down the wrong block

Can leave it bruised

Slain bodies stained black and blue

But one shot aimed at just the right spot

Can drop an elephant with a twenty-two

Ay mother-fuck a black leader

If niggas did what they supposed to do

A better tomorrow could be a reality we closer to

Don't know if it's love or drama when ya brother approaching you

Therefore niggas prepare for war like soldiers do

I hope for you overstanding

I hope for you peace of mind

I hope you live to see ninety

I hope that you reached in time

It's a lose lose situation the way that these streets designed

Yet niggas still try they luck and be wondering why they stuck

Cemetery or penitentiary it's meant to be

Ain't no convincing me otherwise

For that it's fuck the world with every inch of me

Publicize my imperfections, mislead me with misdirection

And feed me syringe injections

Now deal with this insurrection

We come from low income and section eight

Treated as second rate, forcing me to be nothing less than great

Descendants of a forgotten tribe, expected not to survive

But we immortal thru what we jot and we scribe nigga

And to make matters worse

These dazzling new plantation owners built a pipeline

To take our children from school to prison

Quicker than a cut can bleed

And the lucky ones go from school to the NFL

Where they don't even let them niggas take a knee

Cuz a crooked cop cruising down the wrong block

Can leave it bruised

Slain bodies stained black and blue

But one shot aimed at just the right spot

Can drop an elephant with a twenty-two

Cuz a crooked cop cruising down the wrong block

Can leave it bruised

Slain bodies stained black and blue

But one shot aimed at just the right spot

Can drop an elephant with a twenty-two

Lusting for liberty plus the liquidity

Though we get fucked like polygamy

Pushing, provoking you must wanna trigger me

You should just let a nigga be

But want the smoke cuz you puffed up from bigotry

So I snuck in this cig with me

Butt of your jokes like you just took a dig at me

Know I'll dust you deliberately

Must be the misery, must be indignity

What if I bruise cuz it touches me lividly

What if abuse and injustice embittered me

What if this two-two-three busted as bitterly

What if I choose to go fuck you up visibly

All in plain view so your cousin and kid can see

Then on the news see a dozen acquitted me

Would you recuse that good judge unequivocally

What if I do to you just what you did to me

What if I stoop on your jugular with a knee

Would you dispute and erupt from iniquity

Would you rebuke the corruption politically

What would this do to disrupt your civility

What would this do to adjust your virility

Would you refute the unjust and the villainy

Would you be mute and be hushed if they killing me

Or did they turn ya compassionless

Court is adjourned for a pacifist

I've seen you yearn for unhappiness

That reaffirmed what I learned from a masochist

We cannot earn from a capitalist

We'll get infirmed and interred from their avarice

Before we turn into ash in this bitch

Let 'em burn like they burnt Minneapolis

How much longer can we afford to wait

War is upon us

Let the motherfucker burn

Let it all burn
