Slimmer than a snake
They coming to destroy and take
Across the seas they sailed
Made it seem like we were Getting paid
(No money)
But the vision paled
To the shackles we were chained
And the history
Remains the same,
Are you with me?
They made us build their roads
Pick their cotton
(Still wear it)
Killed us, when they "got one"
They told us we were worth nothing
But they took us from lands
We had everything
Delve into relevance
And that's something they don't wanna see
But until then
The ignorance
Will never cease
(Never)
But I got some thing for the peace
Come rock with me
They wanna lock us up
And steal our dreams
Bothers and sisters
We are Kings
(Never inferior)
They wanna lock us up
(Never inferior)
And steal our dreams
Bothers and sisters
We are Kings
(Remember that)
We are Kings
(Never inferior)
We are Kings
(Never inferior)
Better rise up
We are Kings
(Remember that)
We are Kings
We are Kings
Better rise up
We are Kings
Black pride is something they Don't wanna ever see
Put it on a flag, I 'ma be King
Sheets ain't never scare nobody
Come on somebody
Welcome generation X
Yea, we bout it
Ain't that what Pac
And them said
They wanna lock us up
And steal our dreams
Bothers and sisters
We are Kings
(Never inferior)
They wanna lock us up
(Never inferior)
And steal our dreams
Bothers and sisters
We are Kings
(Remember that)
We are Kings
(Never inferior)
We are Kings
(Never inferior)
Better rise up
We are Kings
(Remember that)
We are Kings
We are Kings
We are Kings
If no one's ever told you before
Let me be the first
You are a strong black man
You are a strong black woman
We got this shit
If no one's ever told you before
Let me be the first
You are a strong black man
You are a strong black woman
We got this shit
Do I have to tell them again
It's not just about the theories
It's about fighting the injustice
And all the atrocities
It's on ya tv screen
It's in the news papers
It's on ya kids homework waiting For a teacher to grade em
And it's not even factual; Contractible; keep ya brain dead; I'm looking ahead
Trying to piece together
What's not dead; mind twisted
Ion wanna be a toe tag
I ain't with it
So you better get smart on em band together, do something
So you better get smart on em band together, do something
So you better get smart on em band together, do something
