Black Dialogue

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Akrobatik] Yeah, it was written in the books of Europeans we were savage That our history was insignificant and minds below average But how can one diminish the work Of the most imitated culture on this earth Fast foward to 2000 and now You see it everywhere you look, speech, music, fasion and style It's black dialogue Go ahead kid, try it on It's much harder to master than precision with firearms Corny niggas switch it up and rent it to Viacom But it was taught to me early on by my mom Master yourself, for maximum outreach potential Respect that you get from that will grow exponential Preferential treatment, brings us heat when It only goes to those who rock the diamonds and sequins They invite the kiddies to the video show To watch the fake titty models all act like hoes I guessed it goes the more ignorance the more press But everywhere I look I'm seeing black people with more stress But does that mean we should be shucking and jiving Fucking and kniving just to keep our bank accounts thriving See I walked the path my elder laid out 'Cause acting like a monkey for white folks is played out I get my own money, on my own terms Got heat for everybody, watch the microphone burn [Verse 2: Mr. Lif] Let me tell you about my niggas nowadays Nowadays niggas acting like slaves because it pays many ways A, to get the pussy - B, to get the cars C, the jewels around their neck But their demise is not farfetched Step with that Uncle Tom, fucking palm action And my TV's always off because I see something truely black then Aww shit, got a call from Brother Malcolm Awakened from the grave, he's asking, "What the fuck happened?" I said these niggas all want homes in the Hamptons It's Dimension shows so they do what white man asks them Throwing money at the screen that other brother ain't catching Yes, hellish foes, and now they rest in peace, thanks for asking They rather teach eachother how to fire chrome than to buy a home There's power in the land that we own You need capital to start to win the capitalism Take the money from the sales and buy some places for living Rather black landlords than white chalk on the floor Our mentality's the casualty that's keeping us poor And the poor teach the rich how to work Rich teach the kids how to invest, hence we're dying from stress And the rhythm of the drums shines its own sun My father said, "Son, think a brighter day is ever gon' come" I said, "Pops, rock a beat box And I'ma empty out my mind 'cause I'm around till I drop" [Chorus] Yo, Martin and Malcolm knew it Black dialogue Grandma Moses drew it Black dialogue Stevie Wonder seen it Black dialogue Many games to steam with Black dialogue Jim Brown, ran with Black dialogue Huey Newton had a plan with Black dialogue Chuck D took a stand for Black dialogue KRS is the man with Black dialogue The whole world is after Black dialogue The whole world is after Black dialogue The whole world is after Black dialogue
