My people fighters so you know it's going to be confrontation They refused to give up their seats on the transportation At a time, where America was super racist Blood on the leaves just because of violations Battle for equality, we're tired of being patient Bold leaders, man, it led to assassinations The courage and charisma of my people is amazing History shows it's problems that we're always facing Now today, we're dealing with the mass incarceration Started with President Nixon and Ronald Reagan Too many of my brothers in that prison population Yeah, but we prevail, we will prosper, amen
