Lakim Shabazz - 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 n******g 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) [x2] [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) [x4] [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 s**tillion 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 n******gish 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) [x8]
