Maybe you think it’s funny
Tell me how much money they pay you to kill me
The eagle’s clock is tickin
Once this curse is lifted He's gon
Burn it all down down down
Burn it all down down down
Burn it all down
All I know is survive
How does it feel to feast upon his people from the hillside
The paradigm is shifting
If you blink then you might miss it cause He’s gon
Burn it all down down down
Burn it all down down down
Burn it all down down down
Burn it all down down down
Burn it all down
Maybe you think it’s funny
Tell me how much money do they pay you to kill me
Babylon's clock is ticking
When Zion’s curse is lifted He gon
Burn it down

I wanna see the white man hang from a tree
Eyes bulging red while he stare at me
I wanna see his children work for me
I ain’t paying em shh they gon work for free
I wanna beat the white man just for fun
Sick my my dogs on him and watch him run
I wanna see the white man beg to be free
And beg for some of that money he making me
Tables turn watch and learn
Freedom come watch it burn
Would you hate would you embrace
If you’s gon Get What You Gave
I wanna let the whit man leave my fields
Work hard on his own but he pay me still
Show him everyday I impose my will
Give him weapons of death and watch him kill
Tables turn watch and learn
Freedom come watch it burn
Would you hate would you embrace
If you’s gon Get What You Gave
Maybe I want this maybe I don’t
Maybe it’ll erase the pain that I feel maybe it won’t
Would you treat me different if you knew one day
That you’s Get What You Gave
Well?
Home of the brave
Land of the slave
Would you like to take my place?
Tables turn watch and learn
Freedom come watch it burn
Would you hate would you embrace
If you’s gon Get What You Gave
Make America Great For The First Time

I’m amazed at how fast the clock ticks man I done had a rough year I’m talking bout
Aye Yai Yai Yai Yai Yai
Aye Yai Yai Yai Yai Yai
yeah me and my lady called it quits oh dear that was my worst fear hold up what happened like
Aye Yai Yai Yai Yai Yai
Aye Yai Yai Yai Yai Yai
and I’m trying and I’m trying to get back to normal but what’s normal when everything you do is abnormal they think Im
Aye Yai Yai Yai Yai Yai
Aye Yai Yai Yai Yai Yai
and I know in life there are no failures only lessons I’m a student of life boy let me tell you sheesh
Aye Yai Yai Yai Yai Yai
Aye Yai Yai Yai Yai Yai
I need to let some things go
do you think I’m talking about my dreams no
it’s my attitude I’m hot like jalapeños
cause my people we been begging to be equal yeah
and 3/5’s ain’t enough
but that’s all that’s left when your people done ate us up like
Aye Yai Yai Yai Yai Yai
Aye Yai Yai Yai Yai Yai
And yeah uncle Sam Aint you had enough
and what we paying for so y’all can all shoot us up
your weapons make you act tough but not as tough as great I AM
cause when America’s gun jam you know uncle you out of luck
and if I’m keeping it buck then you’re running out of time you see
cause everything you’ve done to me is already written in them prophecies
Aye Yai Yai Yai Yai Yai
Aye Yai Yai Yai Yai Yai
You see it was always at my fingertips
like that blessing for them Hebrews in that wilderness
but somehow I could never touch it
maybe it was how you had that money on my mind
and how you made me love it
and I done gave you so much time but you ain’t gave me nothing
my color’s purple maybe God was trying to tell me something
like how I should focus on kingdom things
huh cause nothing on earth will ever trump
yeah I said Trump with that kingdom bringing I’m on my kingdom thinking the police keep us leaking we let big brother control our palms every day he be creeping but Christ already defeated hell all you do is deceive me and got me slaving for this mail like I Mr. McFeely but see I’m on a mission devil you got to flee me imma be doing his business like Mister and Celie
And where does a man’s soul go where the floor is gold and shiny like some soul glow and I done came a long way from my old flow man the presence of God will dig you out that whole though I really do this cause I love it and my people need me but if I ain’t got a pot to piss in will my people feed me I’mma be a source of light regardless if you see me my brother Reaga told me that and that’s my bro believe me
You're born you grind you live you die like
Aye Yai Yai Yai Yai Yai
Aye Yai Yai Yai Yai Yai
You laugh you cry you love you fight like
Aye Yai Yai Yai Yai Yai
Aye Yai Yai Yai Yai Yai
You're born you grind you live you die like
Aye Yai Yai Yai Yai Yai
Aye Yai Yai Yai Yai Yai
You laugh you cry you love you fight like
Aye Yai Yai Yai Yai Yai
Aye Yai Yai Yai Yai Yai
And if the elevator tries to break you down don’t let it go crazy punch a higher floor
And if you ever think that God don’t care no more he’s always always knocking at your door
Aye Yai Yai Yai Yai Yai
Aye Yai Yai Yai Yai Yai

Did we go too far this time
did the words that came out our mouth cross the line
did I hurt you once again
if we could start all over where would we begin
Point of no return or return to the point where we sang with the bees and birds
have we lost our wings or have we plucked each other‘s feathers clean (whoa)
I wanted to win and I can’t promise you that you won’t cry again
but if I had my way then I would grab your hand and look for a lovely day
Did we go too far this time
did the words that came out our mouth cross the line
did I hurt you once again
if we could start all over where would we begin
I wanted to go I want to fly so high
where is my superhero cape why can’t I fly maybe we’re tripping or maybe we wasting our time
maybe we end it or maybe we triumph
