As individuals and as a people...

...we are at war
But the majority on my side got they eyes open wide
But still don't recognize what we fighting for
I guess that's what I'm writing for
to try to shed some light
But we been in the darkness for so long,
don't know right from wrong
Y'all scared to come near it, you ignore the voice
In your head when you hear it
The enemy is after yo' spirit
but you think it's all in yo' mind
You'll find a lot of the reason we behind
Is because the system is designed
to keep our third eyes blind
But not blind in the sense that our other two eyes can't see
You just end investing quality time in
places you don't even neeed to be
We don't even know who we are, but the answer ain't far
Matter of fact its right up under our nose
But the system taught us to keep that book closed
See the reason why he gotta lie and deceive is so
That we won't act accordingly
To get the blessings we suppose to receive
Yeah it's true, Uncle Sam wants you to be a devil too
See, he's jealous because his skin is a curse but what's worse
is if I put it in a verse y'all listen to some bullshit first
We ain't natural born killas, we are a spiritual people
God's chosen few
Think about the slave trade when they had boats with
Thousands of us on board
And we still was praising the Lord
now you ready to die over a coat,
a necklace round your throat,
that's bullshit
Black people ya'll better realize, we losin,
you better fight and die
If you got to get yo' spirit and mind back
and we got to do it together
Goodie Mob means, "The Good Die Mostly Over Bullshit"
You take away one "O" and it will let you know
"God is Every Man of Blackness"
The Lord has spoken thru me and the G-Mo-B!
