Jones - Slave Name Lyrics

I'm a teacher now
Let's open books
Let's make songs with better hooks
When you positive they never look
But Connell mean strong as a wolf
That's why my label called Blood Hound
Cause it's all about my kids too
The system label me a thug now
Without asking me what I been through
I guess it don't really matter
Got a couple felonies but that don't mean Im any blacker
Straight out the mud we was made from soil
If you don't know my name just call me Royal
I just found out what my name mean
I just found out what my name mean
I just found out what my name mean
I just found out what my name mean
I just found out what my name mean
I just found out what my name mean
I just found out what my name mean
I just found out what my name mean
It come from Ireland, but I'm not Irish
They trying to cover COVID like it's just a virus
My black people stars you can't touch like the Midas
You say we ain't I say we are but I'm not a pirate
I'm just a pilot flying through thunderstorms
The road been rocky and tricky every since I was born
My music teacher, she left me
I felt musically torn
Mama Ann made me do it
I use my voice as a horn
Harriet Tubman a soldier
Dr. King tried to told us
I'm keeping they names alive
Cause they trying to get rid of sculptures and posters
But I ain't hopeless
Next Friday, they think we jokers
They clown us cause all we do is ha-ha whenever we post up
On the internet, that's why I ain't into that
Listening to conversations, reading all our chitter chat
Don't let the system and the media define you
Read up on your name
Take a moment just to find you
I just found out what my name mean (The world, the world, the world)
I just found out what my name mean (Its yours)
I just found out what my name mean (The world, the world, the world)
I just found out what my name mean (Its yours)
I just found out what my name mean (The world, the world, the world)
I just found out what my name mean (Its yours)
I just found out what my name mean (The world, the world, the world)
I just found out what my name mean (Its yours)
