Black Freight (T. Green & R. Hughes)

(Schizo)
Maybe it's the cadence of the drums.
Maybe it's the cadence of the drums.
Maybe it's the cadence of the drums, make me feel we are one
make me feel it's something greater than the slums
hard for me to put it in words, it's innate
maneuver with such grace I gotta come from something great
black human freight with a cleared slate trying to make sense of it all
I don't know if i'm a black Hebrew, possibly
it make sense in the search of the truth, honestly
Think about it, could we be a cursed people?
Destined to be slaves. Begging to be saved.
I don't care what the rest of em say
Anyone can be turned. Put them in the right space with a burner
and what do you get? A bunch of wild pieces of...
With nothing to lose, and nothing to gain
all i'm saying, it's common sense
young heathen used to be prince
now he looking at the world through a barbwire fence

(Chorus)
Africa is my descent
and here i'm far from home
I dwell within a land that's meant
meant for many men not my tone

(Schizo)
Why My African brothers and sisters, stay tryna diss us
like we ain't got the same blood in us
and why we ashamed to be called them?
Ask yourself why you hate to be called dark skinned. We are kin.
Hate ya color, hate ya hair, hate yourself and your past
Hate ya nose, hate ya lips, & your attitude trash
We supposed to be the mothers of Earth
but we abort at 3x the rate of anyone else, what are we worth?
$350 ain't worth your soul.
Common said that. It's crazy how it don't get old
How many times fathers don't get told
Got no choice. Suck the life how you and they got no voice
You know you dead wrong.

(Chorus)
Africa is my descent
and here i'm far from him
I dwell within a land that's meant
meant for many men not my tone

(Ron Donson)
I was born a black baby to a black moms
from the mother of the earth from a rich land of worth
I embrace the culture I don't hate the culture
all my people do it is disgrace their culture
it's a damn shame but it is what it is
all I can do is drop jewels to the kids
all I can do is just show em how to live
and hope a 3 to 5 don't show em how to bid
cause its hard being black let alone wit felony
look in the mirror. see ya worst enemy
negative energy it flows thru the hood
it's never good why not do whatcha should
but you rather look cool, rather you a fool
you need an education  I don't mean from a school
so I came back just to give you the tools
to make it out the jungle you gotta know the rules
