I am Malcolm X
I am Malcolm X
I am Malcolm X
My black skin is the threat (I am)
I am Malcolm X
I am Malcolm X
I am Malcolm X
My black skin is the threat
It all started off in Omaha, Nebraska
A loving mother Pops was a back to Africa pastor
Who was hated for teaching his people disobey they Master
The Family blessing or curse after all his legacy captured and yeah
Protect his fam unafraid of them Klan Bastards
Rock with Garvey and the UNIA for them black matters
Strength of his word struck fear in the hearts of the cowards
Who took his life to destroy this Little family of ours
Had to be empowered by the circumstances we face
Moms a nervous wreck siblings divided up by the State
Now im a Foster Child poster child for growing up quicker
Was told becoming a lawyer wasn't a realistic goal for a N***
A lil older now Beantown Shorty my N***
Work the train serving thangs a side order of pimpin
I'm headed to Harlem and I met up with a west Indian
Ran numbers these my younger days a mess and mischievous
Miscounted the paper now dem hitters wanted me dead
Light on my feet skipped town back to Boston I fled
Me and Shorty again robbing for riches a slight boss
Got caught and imprisoned for flocking houses and knockin white broads
Sentenced to a dime here come withdrawals of dope
It's solitary and nutmeg water pass me a smoke
Hanging on to every word the homie Bimbi had spoke
Visits from Sis kites from the outside family had wrote
Lil bro said "Fam we never dine on the swine
We moving righteous with the word of Allah the divine"
Started putting me on to lessons from the NOI
Cleansed my temple studied me now I'm free in my mind
I am Malcolm X
I am Malcolm X
I am Malcolm X
My black skin is the threat
Growing Stronger now letters from the prophet himself
6 and a half years later released now I'm back on the shelf
Through due diligence, spread Elijah's word across the map
With true militants weight of a nation all on my back
Work I've done opened Mosques in the name of the One
Greatest orator ever to speak on the mic you'll get done
Ain't no time for acting petty, I'm crackin me a Betty
Who making sure I ate and now I'm back to being ready
I'm primed family growing 12 years of dedication
Never again spoke to my brother he was cast into isolation
Was I blinded by my faith or loyalty to the cause
Or misguided and draped as a mascot who seeks your applause
Success lead to the press spotlighting my work
Other ministers question my motive they denying my worth
Seeds of betrayal watered with thoughts of me leading the nation
Refused to believe the rumors about queens he impregnated
He meaning my spiritual father pillow talking on mine
His best minister like his son but here's a word from the wise
Said I would leave and turn against him therefore I was dangerous
Like a knife in the back when I was greeted with smiles and praises
Supposed to be moral leaders am I believing a lie?
My faith was shattered in a way I can never fully describe
Speaking on JFK was the start of my troubles
So they decided to silence me and sizing me for the muzzle
Death threats now they even gave the homie a mission
To wire my car to explode once I turned on the ignition
And I'm gone severed ties with the nation I'm good
Aligned with helping my people in ways that I never could
Muslim Mosque Incorporated that's my passionate vision
Our political philosophy is Black Nationalism
To further my understanding I'm on a pilgrimage to Mecca
In 11 African countries I'm building and connecting
Expanding my worldview for greater spiritual insight
Of American racism and our position in this fight
Threats on his life; his kids and his wife
Burned my house down with my whole family inside
Feeling like the CIA and FBI
Are invested and impressed with my death and trying to to see my demise
Sick enough to make you vomit if u sit and think about it
Copied the dictionary still can't get my words around it
Back to my duties along with a speech at the Audubon
Sorry to say this is where the story ends I'm run upon
I am Malcolm X
I am Malcolm X
I am Malcolm X
My black skin is the threat
I am Malcolm X
I am Malcolm X
I am Malcolm X
My black skin is the threat
I am Malcolm X
I am Malcolm X
I am Malcolm X
My black skin is the threat
Expanding my worldview for greater spiritual insight
