The Sequel
[Intro]
The savage and carefree ways you are accustomed to are over
Your old world is dying, but we in the civilized world want to save you
[Chorus]
You can try to confuse my pride
But no, you can’t take my soul
Your whole world is living a lie
And yes baby, this I know
We need the truth
I need my people to know that it's on you
To take back all that we own
We can do it man
[Verse 1]
Because of you
I never had my pops around
Never learned how to be a dad when he came town
Probably because you snatched up his folks as a little child
Realizing that I can’t blame him, I feel him now
But I made it through the pain, and I'ma get you now
Make you feel what it feels like to get fucked around
On some real shit, I don’t even miss my pops
And I don’t even get a Christmas call
Because of you
My family has issues
Sometimes I wonder if we really miss him
We don't talk about him, so no we don't diss him
And I don't even know him, so how I’m going to miss him
I'm only being real as I’m seeing things clearer
Like who the hell is this guy, standing in the mirror
Staring at myself, like who the fuck are you?
But now it makes sense, its all because of you
[Chorus]
You can try to confuse my pride
But no, you can’t take my soul
Your whole world is living a lie
And yes baby, this I know
We need the truth
I need my people to know that it's on you
To take back all that we own
We can do it man
[Verse 2]
Because of you
When my kokum was alive
I always seen her cry and it seemed like every night
She would pray to the same institution that lied
To the whole fucking world, can you look me in the eyes?
And tell me that you ain't trying to kill us all
You can't mistake me for a sheep I’m about to get involved
Make sure you read everything before you flip the page
Because I'm a one man rally on a bigger stage
Because of you
A lot of youth can’t communicate
We lost our identity, we’re still trying to recuperate
Used to hunt for our food now we ain't shooting straight
Confused by the new world order, we don’t know who to hate
Instead of killing our own
We should focus on our fam and protecting our home
Stack your money up, and buy land purchase some arms
Teach your kids how to survive in the eye of the storm
It’s going down man
[Chorus]
You can try to confuse my pride
But no, you can’t take my soul
Your whole world is living a lie
And yes baby, this I know
We need the truth
I need my people to know that it's on you
To take back all that we own
We can do it man
