Nas - Black Zombie

Uhh
Yo you believe
when they say we ain't shit
we can't grow
All we are is dope dealers
and gangstas and hoes
And you believe
when they be tellin you lie
all on the media
They make the world look
crazy to keep you inside
Why you listen
when the teachers at school
know you a young
single parent out strugglin
they think you a fool
Give your kids bad grades
and put em in dumber classes
Killin shorty future
I wonder how do we last it
Underground in they casket
Ancestors turnin
I'm learnin somethin every day
there is no Lazareth
Words like God is Greek
or Latin
So if you study Egypt
you'll see the truth written
by the masters
My niggaz is chillin
gettin high relaxin
Envisionin ownin shit
yo it can happen
What do we own
Not enough land
not enough homes
Not enough banks
to give a brother a loan
What do we own
The skin on our backs
we run and we ask
for reperations
then they hit us with tax
And insurance
if we live to be old
what about now
So stop bein controlled
we black zombies
Walkin talkin dead
though we think
we're livin black zombies
We just copy cat
followin the system
black zombies
Walkin talkin dead
though we think
we're livin black zombies
We just copy cat
followin the system
black zombies
Aiyyo we trapped
in our own brain
fuck behind bars
We've already gone insane
They've already gave up
cut our own heads offs
Stab our own backs
and dream too much
without fulfillin reality
too greedy and
can't have one or two chains
we need three of dem
Can't have one or two guns
without squeezin em
on our own people and
fuck black leaders
cause whites ain't got none
leadin them
the rhythm is cosmic
Nas is divinity
the deity's prophetless
All get down and get up
Victims walkin
round with Down's Syndrome
all stuck
Faintin shoutin
catchin Holy Ghost in church
Scared to do it
for ourselves less
we see somebody doin it first
We begged we prayed
petitioned and demostrated
Just to make another
generation
black zombies
Walkin talkin dead
though we think
we're livin black zombies
We just copy cat
followin the system
black zombies
Walkin talkin dead
though we think
we're livin black zombies
We just copy cat
followin the system
black zombies
You scared to be yourself
cause you in a trance
Feel free hear
the music and dance
If you cared what they think
why wear what they wear
just for you
Dumb niggaz with long beards
like they Arabs or Jews
or from Israe
bish'meal Allah
el rachman el Rahim
Islam's a beautiful thing
And Christian and Rastafari
helps us to bring
peace against the darkness
which is unGodly
So what's the black
man's true religion
who should we follow
Use your own intuition
you are tommorrow
that's the sound
of the beast
I'm a Columbia record slave
so get paid
Control your own destiny
you are a genius
Don't let it happen to
you like it did to me
I was a black zombie
Walkin talkin dead
though we think
we're livin black zombies
We just copy cat
followin the system
black zombies
Walkin talkin dead
though we think
we're livin black zombies
We just copy cat
followin the system
black zombies
Wake up Black zombies
in a spell for more than
fo hundred years
Ghetto niggaz won't have
it no mo
can I get a witness
Why listen to somebody else
tell you how to do it
when you can do it yourself
it's all in you do it do it
Do it niggaz
