Grandz Muzik - Frames lyrics

[Skit: Malcolm X] We don't see any American dream; we've experienced only the American nightmare. We haven't benefited from America's democracy; we've only suffered from America's hypocrisy. And the generation that's coming up now can see it and are not afraid to say it [Verse 1: Apollo The Great] All I see is young black boys without knowledge of self/ Old black folk try to tell us college could help/ While masters child inherits dollars and wealth/ We on our knees with a hand out, (what else) All I hear is the pastor, preaching about the life after/ As our real life flying right past us/ Go to church hear a verse then it's right back to/ Go to work, bills due, sh** don't add up/ Big cousin in the kitchen and he whipping crack up/ Told me if I help him flip it I could get a fast buck/ Hate poisoning my people, maybe I just bag up/ It weights heavy on my conscience, cause I'm conscious/ But not far removed from the nonsense/ The d**, cars, the j**els, & the violence/ n***as was made in America/ Taught that we were slaves and inferior So why they scared of us? [Hook] They be telling me that things changed But it all seems the same through these Malcolm X frames/ They be telling me that things changed But it all look the same through these Malcolm x frames/ [Skit: Malcolm X] The police is the same way: they put their club upside your head. Then, turn around and accuse you of attacking them. Every case of police brutality against the Negro follows the same pattern [Verse 2: Apollo the Great] All I see is police using us as target practice/ It was either me or him, so I offed the ba*tard/ Teenage black thugs, yea you know how that is/ huh Media misleading the ma**es/ Peace to Mike Brown's fam, I share y'all's sadness/ Eric Garner, and all them, black lives matter/ ugh All I hear is a change gon' come/ But we been screaming that for years and I ain't seen one/ Y'all want to act ignorant, don't support black business/ Exact reasons we in this, predicament/ Still ain't learn to get our own sh**, we don't own sh**/ You work for them, pay them rent, or you homeless/ Why not start small & grow like everything else?/ Invest in yourself, and then let it bring wealth/ Too busy begging them for a job, they don't give it to us then we rob The problem still unsolved/ [Repeat Hook] [Skit Malcolm X] The Honorable Elijah Muhammad teaches us that our own mind has to be changed. We have to change our minds about ourselves. (In what way?) Well, he teaches us the importance of moral reformation; a knowledge of self
