People ask me how we wearing diamonds
For their protection deserve neither
Battle in the wilderness of North America
Fuck the harder way, we doing it the smarter way
Those who would trade in their freedom
Terrorists with etiquette who vote and kill their president
Terrorize you like a cowardly act
Fuck the harder way, we doing it the smarter way
I was sold to a sick European by a rich African battlin'
I say the shit these people ain't got the heart to say
I got a part to play, we going hard these days
Probably an orphan who's momma died of aids
To my God I pray, that's how I start my day
Battlin' years of denied history, lies and mysteries
Now where the fuck he pulled that out from?
I say the shit these people ain't got the heart to say
Run by the river, only stoppin' to pray chased by predators
Losing arms for crying while they mining
To my God I pray, that's how I start my day
Fuck the harder way, we doing it the smarter way
Yo this ain't what I'm settling for, I want more, yo
Not a name, not tradition
Parents never there, they're busy building homes
Making jerseys, jeans, and sneakers they could never wear
You busy screaming gangsta, gangsta all that talk is strife
The bullets starts to spray the revolution starts today
I say the shit these people ain't got the heart to say
The bullets starts to spray the revolution starts today
Becoming the man of the house at 11 years old
They can't afford to buy, cars they can't afford to drive
Fuck the harder way, we're doing it the smarter way
The bullets starts to spray the revolution starts today
I got a part to play, we going hard these days
While we sit back waitin' to evolve
Try to run, we chop off your feet, fast forward to 2004 we selling
Religion, you learn Jesus, turn the other cheek
When there's little kids in Sierra Leone
Their capacity for evil so evident and prevalent
Ain't got no shoes but got a gun
The bullets starts to spray the revolution starts today
Inherit the earth, just stay meek, fuck the way you speak
He built a coffin working often but he never paid
These kids is forced to fight a war they can't outrun
The bullets starts to spray the revolution starts today
Forever slaving in the world that's forever cold
You say you never scared there's kids in other countries
This reality rap, I get inside the mentality that
Wives with misty eyes watchin' their husbands be beaten viciously
To my God I pray, that's how I start my day
Fuck the harder way, we're doing it the smarter way
To my God I pray, that's how I start my day
Working jobs that don't support their life
To my God I pray, that's how I start my day
To my God I pray, that's how I start my day
Middle passages, I can't go back again
Ain't no hesitation involved, a nation dissolved
You already know lost the fight if you don't know the cost of life
