Zako (feat. Nyasapiano & Chiz) - Mungo

To my brother Todd Rodgers aka DJ Success Rest in peace This song is dedicated to the memory of Trayvon Martin Mike Brown Tamir Rice Eric Gardner Emmett Till My young cousins Lina and Jason Taylor Rachel Another black soul that lost their lives before their time Josia 2:23 says I will have mercy upon her that have not obtained mercy And I will say to them which were not my people that they are my people And they shall say thou art my God May God redeem the souls who lost their lives before their time The AT liens was outta this world Lets jump into this mother ship every boy and girl Take you to a place where your soul can be Where no poverty is known and all killin' has ceased We so far out We so far out Eight ball and MJ called it space age pimpin' We just searchin' for a place of our redemption The world ain't got nothin' for me I take it to another place where my soul can be free They say a house is not a home and this ain't heaven I got a house but they still treat me like a felon Why you ridin' all up on my ass Why you wanna shoot these niggas when they hands on the dash Land of the free home of the brave Guess that applies if you didn't become a slave No special treatment just equality First steps to my soul bein' free Sometimes it's hard to accept all these things how did I end up in these shackles We was pharohs and kings Some hate others feelin' me see Except the ones that call the powers that be We so far out I almost cried when I heard this beat said a prayer then I jumped to my feet Almost cried when I heard this beat said a prayer then I jumped to my feet Black aint beautiful what kinda crack you smoke You think you go hard what kind of gat you tote See we killing each other off in Chicago They still build prisons just to house us bro Be like us and speak like us We still overcoming but in God we trust We came so far from the back of the bus We got love for each other lets have love for us Some of us lack direction some of us lack pride Some of lack a father some hurting inside Let this music lift your spirit let it give you pride Let it be your motivation let it be your guide Check your family tree and your business deed how many companies profited from slavery That's my ancestry aint' no bank loan for me I don't want no handout just what owed to me Look at black wall street look what you took from me This country wouldn't be shit if it wasn't for me This hypocrisy in this democracy I'm bout to take it by force ain't no stopping me We so far out Rest in peace to Jordan Edwards Tank Stiggers Kamiya Thornton Too black too strong too strong Too black too strong too strong Too black too strong too strong Too black too strong too strong Too black too strong too strong
