Motherland

1, 2, 3 I just want the best for my motherland, so open up the door for me 5 guys in 6 years beg the question I been thinking bout the nation since a nigga turned 7 Niggas got ate when they stepped outta line Put some twists in your hair, might as well tote a 9 2022, I don't mean to offend But your mind still thinking like it's 1910 Hey, stop the count, the elections stay rigged People apathetic so corruption stays big Politicians pay big, just to stay rich Then they bribe easy vics so they won't say shit This is basic, but the main trick Is convincing everybody that they can't change shit That's what they did, mess with our minds so their money stays healthy while the sick remain sick Ay Way back when, it was "God save the queen" Colonized and convinced "black" was a bad thing Hairstyles, culture, even our games If your skin wasn't light you would get called names Built implicit biases, that was their aim If it meant we stayed oppressed, anything was fair game They ain't even have to give nobody cocaine They just gave us self-hate and we've never been the same Came to spread religion, then they made us hate gays Then they used the homophobia to demonize braids Look at all the toxic shit they turned men to Teaching us that being shitty is what straight men do Taught us how to focus on the shit that don't matter Cuz if we remained scattered, then their pockets got fatter How is our economy inverse to our wealth Shit ain't hard to figure out, man, just think for yourself You ain't gotta look too deep to see the cracks The motherland is still colonized, that's facts But it all relies on if you wanna stay dense So look around and start to question things that don't make sense Nigga
