They call us ignorant... Coincidence, We're Not growing
When the definition of ignorance is not knowing
Not knowing your history
Not knowing your home
Not knowing the dialect and language of your own
How could you take pride in the greatness of your melanin
If your oblivious to the history that's embedded in
Stop knocking on doors waiting for them to let us in
Build your own doors
Make 'em better then they've ever been
If we ain't funding the war
How could we ever win
The money ain't in the cure
It's in the medicine
The war on drugs couldn't stop the crack Dollar
And We should control the Black Dollar
But what do I know
I'm just a Rap Scholar
A seed of Africa Bam Bada
Damn I'm a
Product of my grandfathers's forefathers
Ancestors who wore honor for pride, applaud mama, don't cry
My head's high, They'll never take me alive
They'll never take me alive
Even though it's a struggle just to survive
They'll never take me alive
I've got knowledge of self and Hella pride
They'll never take me alive
My third eye can see through all of your lies
They'll never take me a... live
They'll never take me alive
Life or death
See that's the kind of Game this is
I refuse to play the game
Cause The game is rigged
They look at black youth as a bunch of Dangerous Kids
So they shoot 1st
What a bunch of Shameless Pigs
F*ck all the fake shit
There's 2 kinds of cops
Bad cops, and the cop that don't say shit
Ain't nobody eager to speak
Who's gone Police the police
Ain't you supposed to be increasing the peace
Yeah right, how could you see Tamir Rice
And not hold on to your sons For Dear Life
The Law vs the people
What a Fair Fight
Police Man prosecuted
What a Rare Sight
Protect and serve
Your supposed to spare life
Instead you left him leaking, bleeding in his Air Nikes
Really it's a mere price to pay for Fair rights
I'm there right away
Cause I ain't the Scared Type
They'll never take me alive
Even though it's a struggle just to survive
They'll never take me alive
I've got knowledge of self and Hella pride
They'll never take me alive
My third eye can see through all of your lies
They'll never take me a... live
They'll never take me alive
You wanna seat at the cool table
Thought that table was cool
Until you finally took a seat and they made you a fool
Think Kane and Able before you go and label me fool
I'm just telling you how it is
I don't make up the rules
For true understanding you must have Knowledge of self
The precious jewel is your mind brother Knowledge is wealth
You could be a scholar yet and still you're Hollering help
To cops it's just a collar
Another Notch on the belt
Look This ain't about hating others
No, This is self love
Learning to love each other
When nobody else does
Let's help ourselves
Not wait for others to help us
Nothing says power like
Health and wealth does
6 million Ways you can die
They try to separate and divide
We pray to get by
Just tryin' to Sustain and Survive
Keep both feet on the ground
And your Faith in the sky
I Take it in stride
Cause they could never take me alive
