Fire & Earth Interlude - T.I.
I'm speaking I'm speaking okay
Silent no more
The blood of our people are rising from the shores
Ascending from the sand
Straight to our hands
Dripping from our finger tips
Yelling kicking screaming
And dreaming
See they were here and know they're gone
And we didn't even have to say so long
Because they gave us the blueprint
Sat in marched slaughtered
And lynched for this s**t
But we'd rather sit around
Get money clout chasing and gloat
Everybody got time everybody want smoke
You can tweet and you can type
But did you motherf**kers vote
I dare you to vote
I dare you to leave the trap
I dare you to learn more about your credit score
I dare you to know less about sports
And own more houses and stores
Own some s**t you could really call yours
'Cause news flash it ain't really
Your hood if you ain't own no doors
I dare you to rap about anything other than your P***y
Or how good you suck his
How good you look and how tight your Fashion Nova fit
I remember when rap queens really used to spit
Like really used to kick s**t
Would look you dead in the face and say
Who you calling a b***h
But now it's just so wet how wet is it
Is it as wet as our ancestors who were
Thrown overboard who drowned soaking wet
Like sweat beads running down Harriet's neck
Wet like immigrants swimming across
The borders until freedom
Is it wet like Tamika Mallory's
Back as she marched down to
Louisville Kentucky for Breonna Taylor
As she put her life on the front line
Not knowing if it would be her last time
How wet is it
'Cause Breonna Taylor was here
George Floyd was here
Ahmaud Arbrey was here
Rayshard Brooks was here
Ronald Green was here
Elijah McClain was here
Jamrion Robinson was here
And now they're gone
And we didn't even get the chance to say so long
