Lyrics

[Sampled Intro: Malcolm X] Who taught you to hate the texture of your hair? Who taught you to hate the color of your skin to such extent that you bleach to get like the white man? Who taught you to hate the shape of your nose? And the shape of your lips? Who taught you to hate yourself? [Chorus] As I peel in my skin Dig in my vein I'm watching the demons within I'm watching this evil come out As I'm tryna come in, and As the rope on my chin Chokes all my kin I'm watching my niggas go limp I'm watching these moments forever I'll never forget, get [Verse 1] God say hang those niggas No bandage needed On thе back of Jesus Where's Nеbekenezer Ecclesiastes, Jesus, or Bethlem, Caesar With my head on the concrete Sole of slavers Feel the taste of the underneath It's mob behavior If heaven needs 'em They'll praise and lead 'em Let's blame the eves then Snakes for treason The dead won't listen If lord forgives 'em He'll take a minute for selfish reasons If hell forgives him Have better chances Avenge the past then Let's take it back and just Pay 'em back for every happenin' [Chorus] As I peel in my skin Dig in my vein I'm watching my demons within I'm watching this evil come out As I'm tryna come in, and As the rope on my chin Chokes all my kin I'm watching my niggas go limp I'm watching these moments forever I'll never forget, get [Verse 2] In the land of the corpses of men How hot can you get Without forming a sweat The jolting brung By the molten of flesh Convulsing strung In the chorus of death, and How is that any different from my life before The fights, the wars The light, the source The right, the wrong The Pike, the sword Ibuprofen, lighter doses Held up, in the psychy wards A Black Woman With plights ignored The sight, behold It's frightening The nights is porous I just thought if my life's important I wouldn't have to pay a fortune for life's assurance, and [Chorus] As I peel in my skin I need to win So, tearing a piece from my limb I'm thinking 'bout all of the shit that I need to forgive Fuck, fuck [Sampled Bridge: Malcolm X] Who taught you to hate the race that you belong to so much so that you don't want to be around each other? No, before you come askin' Mr. Muhammad does he teach hate, you should ask yourself who taught you to hate being what God gave you [Outro] I keep looking for this light A light of peace A light in me And it's searching for the truth It sets you free It's all in me And it's time to be What you are inside Inside your light is what you want to be
