Nigga the red is for the blood in my arm

The black is for the gun in my palm

And the green is for the tram

that grows natural

Like locks on Africans

Holdin the smoke from the herb

in my abdomen

Camouflage fatigues,

and daishikis

Somewhere in between N.W.A. and P.E.

I'm black like Steve Biko

Raised in the ghetto by the people

Fuck the police you know how we do

Ayo my life is like Roots

it's a true story

It's too gory for them

televised fables on cable

I'ma a runaway slave watching

the north star

Shackles on my forearm , runnin

with the gun on my palm

I'm an African , never was

an African- American

Blacker than black I take it

back to my origin

Same skin hated by the klansmen

Big nose and lips, big hips and butts,

dancin, what

It's like tank top, flip flop

Knotty dread lock, fuck a cop, hip hop

Make your head bop

Bounce to this, socialist movement

My environment made me the nigga I am

Uncle Sam came and got me

Try to infiltrate and murder
