Master P - Black History lyrics

[Intro] With Evolution... Comes Revolution With Slavery... Come Freedom Pick up your history book and see How my people was able to create Doctors, Lawyers, Leaders, Soldiers, Pro Athletes Entertainers, Politicians,Entrepreneurs... We came a long way But we got a long way to go [Hook] Tell 'em who my people is Ya'll know who my people is Man they shed so many tears Tell' em who my people is (x4) [Master P] From Georgia to Alabama to Mississippi They threw him in the slammer That boy didn't have not rights He tried to live his life They burned crosses in his yard Just to scare his wife Thanks to him we dream January 15 That's why we celebrate Martin Luther King Times real though Kickers kick no field goals Harriet Tubman... Built the underground railroads Medgar Ever... Took us to the promised land While we running round here With guns in our hands Don't even exercise... Our right to vote And blame the government Cause our people still broke Young athletes don't know who Babe Ruth is Bet you gang bangers know who Snoop is Booker T. Washington opened up the school doors Thanks to Frederick Douglas Slavery is no more Refrain (x4) [Romeo] Similar to Bessie Coleman, Malcom X Cause I'm bout to make history Like a cold war I ain't shooting at the enemy Why I feel like I'm living up in slavery I need a strong woman kinda like Ms. Winfrey Hey bay-bay, Hey bay-bay You could be my bay-bay-bay If you looking for a soldier I could lead your army O-kay-kay-kay I'm proven I got ready J If rap was ball, I'll be MJ We living in a world where they still got KKK I wanna be a leader like True Blackwell Tell ya teacher, I'm here to help My pants sag, But I wear a belt Police pull us over Then they call their friends for help Why they need 10 cops? I' m just rolling by myself That's a punk mentality I ain't going no where Try to stop violence We don't need another Red Scare I got the blood of a king It's a straight fact We been down for too long We bout to bounce back [Hook](x4) [Master P] Black History I told ya'll We was gonna keep it street And we gonna learn something At the same time Now ya'll know who I am And ya'll know who my people are Hip Hop History This only beginning of the movement Ya heard?
