Ras Baraka
God Shaped us in the Darkness of Our Own Mind Blew breathe in the palms of our hands fashioned the wind at he footsteps of our enemies and called generations into existence making the Dark stone the cornerstone treated us out of the deep sea of the Sahara the raging waters rising out the gulf of Guinea Ha! We were born this way Black on Purpose painted the color of the ocean floor of God's womb the worlds oldest memory at the bottom of a valley somewhere in Abyssinia We held profits in our Bosom and shaped them from hatred and Lies yeah we a million miles away from the songs our Great Grandmothers sung

We Made it Here By Faith We Made it Here By Faith, Our Ancestors hands held up the sky so we can stand tall and and Dance across time be beautiful deliberately right on purpose, Keep The Faith Don't hide beneath the sirens and hopeless routine of Cops and Robbers Keep The Faith don't disappear in the stories of Jailhouse drama and dead bodies in front of corner store bodegas Keep The Faith, Don't Don't Shrink in the back of the class and be fooled to believing that the world is not better with you in it Keep The Faith stop running from Who You are, You look Like The Darkness in The Back Drop Of Your Dreams the canvas for the stars, The Blanket the Moon wraps itself in where the best of you rest waiting for the day you loved yourself more than everything this place offer you Keep The Faith, Keep The Faith, Keep The Faith bruh, How else you think we got here anyway

Ras Baraka
Strangle each other on Social media celebrating the same Noose they used to hang our fathers with watching our children Drunk with Despair tricked into believing all you are an all you got was just you to blind to see that the mud you pulled yourself out of is red with the blood of those who perished trying to hold you up kept you from drowning in the same self hatred you advertising to our babies making them believe that the backdoors they building for themselves is the way out to confused to see the ""Trap"" is actually what it is.... a ""TRAP"" We Made It Here By Faith!
