Boom bye bye
Knotty dread from the heavens sky

Hold a medz and hold your head high
They say we uncivilized
Third generation degenerate

Po up that forty OE as I slide
Finna ride as I'm blowing my tree
They don't want me make it out of the streets
Ain't no job for a nucca like me
Tell me how my family pose to eat
For my ancestors it was illegal to read
The devil been stealing our dreams
Prohibition had us off of the drank
Fuck your mind up till you can't even think
Steal your freedom faster than you could blink
Stole my people out the jungles we lived
Then dropped us off in the land of ignit
Bamboozled had us thinking we ignit
Willie lynching all the folk from the village
White supremacists is scared of my melanin
They be praying I become a degenerate
Fuck you talking bout you ain't no reverend
Generations moving mountains like Everest
Benevolent living life with a deep reverence
I ain't asking masse for no severance
Plethora of knowledge where my melon is
Melanated skin glowing knotty dreads on my forehead
Black beautiful and gorgeous you betta go head which your gold skin
Good fortune you anointed bathe me off in that ointment
Culture vultures exploiting my darkness need atonement
Foresee it like I'm clairvoyant
Clairvoyance

Black angel black angel ascend to the sky
Your oppressor playing God tryna condemn you and I
I transcend I get lit for the darkest of nights
Yahweh compelled me to repent
And then rise we gon rise we gon fight for our lives
The africans built the first ships now we feeling to turn the tide
Praise the God of the sun and the moon and the sky's
Canaanite been the tribe she sublime she divine
A warrior blazing through your corridor determined
Staff in my hand for the serpents fire fi burn so dem burning
Hear my sermon just like music Eric Sermon
I be serving burdens for the demons behind the curtains you vermin's
I'm a descendant of the Lord of Lords
If you living by the sword you gon die by that sword
Nappy headed allegiance hair wool like Jesus
