Old religion he just covered it with new chains

Choppin' out the church he ain't real he fake

Aw man now they actin' like I'm suddenly political

Told me shut my mouth and get my checks from evangelicals

Where my momma raised me on Angela and Eldridge

Chuck berry made it but the credit went to elvis

Know you never knew that know you think I'm too black

I just think I'm too real I grew up on 2 pac

You grew up thinkin' that the panthers was some terrorists

I grew up hearin' how they fed my momma eggs and grits

'Crae they say you should follow in the steps of king

I say you've forgotten how they shot him in the streets

I ain't really changed it's the same old rebel

Still a radical I'm passionate it's just another level leggo

At told me I should fight back

Just know if you rock the boat you better have a life raft what

Bj told me I should fight back

Just know if you rock the boat you better have a life raft woo

Where they swingin' got the whips out watch 'em pop trunk
