"With Nas’ collaboration Distant Relatives album alongside Damian Marley on the way, we should expect more revolutionary type music from him. This one is taken from Gil Scott-Heron’s I’m New Here album released earlier this year. Even though the actual tempo of the beat isn’t your conventional rap track, Nas still adds that hip-hop flavor to it." this shit is DOPE!
Why every Indian wanna be the chief?/ Feed a man 'til he full and he still want beef/ Give me grief, try to tief off my piece/ Why for you to increase, I must decrease?/ If I treat you kindly, does it mean that I'm weak?/ You hear me speak and think I won't take it to the streets/ I know enough cats that don't turn the other cheek/ But I try to keep it civilized like Menelik/ and other African czars, observing stars with war scars/ Get yours in this capitalistic system/ So many caught or got bought you can't list them/ How you gonna idolize the missing?/ To survive is to stay alive in the face of opposition/ even when they comin, gunnin I stand position/ L's known the mission since conception/ Let's free the people from deception/ If you looking for the answers then you gotta ask the questions/ And when I let go, my voice echoes through the ghetto/ Sick of men trying to pull strings like Geppetto/ Why black people always be the ones to settle?/ March through these streets like Soweto, uhh//
