[Intro monologue] [Illuminate] Before we went on that Pray for my Hood tour man, my eyes wuzn't really open to everything that's going on right now. But from all of you giving me the game and by us being discriminated against, by me being the only one that was not African American in the circle and seein' how we wasn't seated properly, seein' how people was discriminatin', and seein' how there was jus'... immediate judgment, God really opened my eyes to racism that's really alive right now, today. And as yo' brotha in Christ, I make a vow to stand with y'all to fight this thing, so let's erase this racism (Amen) (That's true) (Straight up)
Intro [Illuminate] I know that this is a real sensitive subject And you might not even think that I shouldn't speak on it So whenever God reveals something to me We gotta do somethin' about it Let's erase it
[Illuminate] I'm seein' the oppression of the people some police Ain't even legal But they got the public scared To go an' shout it from the steeple I'ma go an' say it Coz I can no longer take it I've been known to cross the states And I've witnessed that racial hatred You can can go and hate it You can choose to embrace it It's rippin' my heart Naked Coz the topic here is sacred And it's clear facts But this world ain't tryna hear facts The Masons and the Klan is cliqued up tryna kill blacks They keepin' us enslaved But now it's mentally--got us caged up An' it's been that way for centuries Modern-day plantations of these mental penitentiaries The way this world is turnin' ain't never how it was meant to be Go back to Genesis Check out the arch-nemesis He robs us of our peace but he never replenishes He's the father of every lie in the world And that darkness comin' at us Is disguised as a pearl So pay attention
