lyrics
[Chorus]
Yeah, uh-huh, you know what it is, black and red
Yeah, uh-huh, you know what it is, black and red
Yeah, uh-huh, you know what it is
Everytime I hear the radio, I get pissed
Yeah, uh-huh, now that's gumption
Something's missing from the rap game, that's substance
The oil in your whip, and the blood in your diamonds they be
Black and red
When there is trouble on the streets you see that flag be waving
Black and red
Black oil, red blood
One burns and the other spills, & many shrug
I get disgusted everytime I look at y'alls face
These rappers giving props a system that's all fake
They want the oil, that's why they're warring
It's a big ploy, somebody's gotta pay for it
Fuck the system where's my rebels
From the bankers to the bosses, it's all broke on every level
Stop giving props to this bullshit system is what I'm yelling
There's children killing children for your gems and petrol
We need change, so please take part
It ain't easy, let's take it apart
[Chorus]
Wars for your diamonds, my hope is in the dust bin
Fuck your lifestyle, this type of bullshit must end
Child soldiers doped up it's a freak show
Killing mixed with speed & h all day makes it hard to sleep though
I reach for, a world without this senseless violence
We need to stop all this, especially the blood for diamonds
& I know you got a shiny slick bracelet
But just know that for your image there's some kid slaving
[Chorus]
Fight back like how I’m supposed to do
Agitate for action & build a new world, & oh yeah, here's a dose of truth
kill me, I'll be back like that kenobi dude
Root for teams that uproot regimes
Give props to them cats, ben ali, & musharraf got sacked
Much daps to the North African revolutions, real rap
Let's hope that it spreads, let's make our government fear that
fuck the corporations, lantern circa 86, still crack
[Chorus]
