[verse 1]
Is the groove good to you
Like when you lose your thing

Forgetten grits is grocery
And eggs is poultry


Makin a livin against those makin a killin
Super blackman gotha back
And is back in the building

If the prison is that skin you in
And your cell sittin inside your skull
They say you cant getaway

From ya damn self
When your earth is heaven
And your world be hell

Check your head
Armageddons at the foot of your bed


You aint heard a word i said
Forget them slacks


Im that throwback that
Threw that throwback
Back on the racks

To get my mind back

O say can you see

I get back its still just a black and white tv
In lyin color brother
Gots to getaway to the other.


[verse 2]
Never was too good

Off the top of my head

Cause i want yall to know

Exactly what i said

This so called war in iraq

Over a thousand dead
Thats about
10 a week

Even as i speak

33% of black males in jail

55% of black students will fail
85% of black folks forgot
We were slaves

Up inside this box

America got folks brains on lock

Forget the connects

Some wanna buy whats next

Wear it like a sign up in that chest

Yall should know papa dont take no mess


If you think your past is irrelevant
Dont you know ol soul pays the gt damn rent

That messiah aint never
Gonna come as long as


You thinkin freedom
Is bein free to be dumb


[verse 3]
Soul is back
So flip them hits back

Damn the fashion
I wanna know wheres the passion


Thinkin we came a long way baby

Sayin poor michaels psycho

And prince hes crazy

But what has bob mick sir paul
Done for you lately


How they maintain on your brain
Seems to escape me

Heard some ghetto cats
Dont like metal rap


Hear it and fear it
And they think its wack

They dont even know that the blues is black

And when i rap is back to the roots

Where i be at

Not some 30 year old who dont know facts

Whos wild sayin things like some juvenile

Remember 2 million black folks in the penile
Got a world of whitefolks
Thinkin its style


Think im hatin cause you lack the information
Cause we the fbi still gots on file
