The Lost Tribe Of Shabazz Lyrics

(Our people will survive America)







[ VERSE 1 ]



My people were took from the motherland



By the other man



Brought to the wilderness



Like a ventriloquist



Played my people like puppets by plantin fear in their heart



Nowadays most of us don't know where to start



10% of us can help, but don't feel the need



They love greed



And this really bothers me



85% of us are totally ignorant



Walkin around with the nigger ment-



ality, 5% of us are ready to die for



The cause, of course the source is Elijah



Knowledge of self is what you need to stop the bull



If you don't get it, I'm held responsible



Rhymes I make are designed to reach the youth



I gotta teach, that's why I speak the truth



Some waste time dwellin on the past



It's time they know that we're the lost Tribe of Shabazz







(Our people will survive America)	(2x)







[ VERSE 2 ]



Stay awake and don't sleep, cause I'm comin after ya



Devils I smash and leave em flat as a spatula



Back again, the mathmatical radical



Gettin emotional, very emphatical



The original man uses 23 million



Square miles on the planet Earth, constantly buildin



On the other hand the other man wants to confuse ya



Simple psychology, tricknowlogy fools ya



They have you believe we descend from canibals



Show you pictures of Africans lookin like animals



How could we be animals, look at the things we did



With our own bare hands we built pyramids



Blind, deaf, and dumb is how they raised ya



To them it's Africa, to us it's Asia



To get to the point, to make it clear to ya



They're no superior, and we're not inferior



I got the other man pointin at me, cause I licked him



Took a stand for the blackman, and didn't fall victim



The nation is growin rapid and fast



That's why I'm tellin you we're the lost Tribe of Shabazz







(Our people will survive America)	(4x)







[ VERSE 3 ]



I couldn't wait to battle a beat like this track



Is so def, I had to pump my fist, black



My rhymes weigh six sextillion tons



Heavy as the Earth, a lyrical function



Imagine if every black man, woman and child



Would simply refuse



To go to work for one day



Do you know how much money these companies would lose?



Since everything's based on money, that's what we gotta get



We gotta learn when to quit, when not to quit



It's really sad, I know some people



Think that one day we'll be treated as equal



It's the Land of the Freedom, or so they say so



They tell you're free, yeah, but free to do what though?



Off our arms and legs they took the chains



Big deal - they still left em around our brains



Things I say make the government fear this



I speak with authority, so you can hear this



I hate oreos, that's why I gots to bomb



You so-called niggerish Uncle Toms



We're on a rise-up, you better wise up



You can't stop us, now are you surprised, duck?



You might take it as a political outblast



But we're the lost Tribe of Shabazz







(Our people will survive America)	(8x)
