Track No: 01

My people don't love me
Why we hate each other? Why we kill our brothers? Why we hurt our mothers?
My people don't love me
Need to love one another, need to stick together 'cause we all we got
My people don't love me
Why we ride on another? Need to love one another, we all we got
My people don't love me
I said we all we got, I swear to God, dawg, we all we got
My people don't love me
This whole world's spilling, senseless killing, universe beyond evil
One type of concern be my Black people
We be missing the point like Shaq's freethrow
Sean Taylor, life gone because of haters
A **** he known tried home invasion, went wrong
Bullet penetrated his leg, femur bone
Days later, wake arrangements, flowers to be catered
Damn, we so impatient
Taking from the next man 'cause he ain't got the will to hustle like he can
****'ll rather steal than think of a righteous plan to get residuals, kill for dividends
This life is critical, we living in a time where nine-year-olds tote 9's
Turn ten, it's MAC-10s and coke lines
I wonder why a successful Black man gotta die from a Black man
My people don't love me
Why everywhere I go, I gotta accumulate some hate?
My people don't love me
Genocide all we know, shit, we worser than the KKK, alright
OK-K-K, I'm trying to make my cake, but
Every time I turn around, you take it from me
Some Black people don't love me
Hate each other, we do each other wrong
That's why today, Black people, let's love we
Can't be a positive Black role model leading the future without haters to follow
Now that's fucked up, if I ever wanna see success, I gotta see death?
Be famous for what? He aiming for 'Higher Learning,' you aiming to shoot it down
He flying straight, you wanna U-turn him
You burning your brother's bridges
His accomplishments making way for your children
Still, you don't compliment, inconsiderate
Black pride, no, never been
"Never win, gotta lose," that's the slogan for the Black heritage
We play the fool better than comedians
Disobedient, due no respect, ethics
I refuse to be a statistic
But changing my community don't seem realistic
Show me a African-American doing right
I'll show you one that'll kill his ass tonight, fucked up, ain't it?
My people don't love me
Why everywhere I go, I gotta accumulate some hate?
My people don't love me
Genocide all we know, shit, we worser than the KKK, alright
OK-K-K, I'm trying to make my cake, but
Every time I turn around, you take it from me
Some Black people don't love me
Hate each other, we do each other wrong
That's why today, Black people, let's love we
We stuck together back in slavery days
Martin and Malcolm, them dudes paved the way
The bullshit we doing, I know they're turning over in their graves
This shit need to stop today
Yeah, they died for the cause
Something like Jesus for us to become better people, think about it
We used to run from the KKK
But now we running from our brothers that be holding them K's
Man, never thought it'd be days like this
Can't trust your homies that you're hanging with
Damn shame, why you kill a **** over a chain?
When you could get up on your hustle and get the same thing
United, we stand tall, divided, we all fall
Let's leave this bullshit behind, y'all
On the real, the envy and the hate need to stop
Black people, we all we got
My people don't love me
Why everywhere I go, I gotta accumulate some hate?
My people don't love me
Genocide all we know, shit, we worser than the KKK, alright
OK-K-K, I'm trying to make my cake, but
Every time I turn around, you take it from me
Some Black people don't love me
Hate each other, we do each other wrong
That's why today, Black people, let's love we
Y'all better wake up and smell the coffee
We all we got, man
This black on black killing each other, man, it need to stop
Real talk
Black people need to smarten up
We all we got
