[Intro: cAb] Soul System my n***a [Verse 1: cAb] Yeah break rules n***a don't let them break you Make the news now them b**hes gotta pay you Make mistakes I do they can't relate They ain't got this type of mind state That make the black mind great I ain't talking about the crime rate n***as irate getting sick of the hate We just wait on the day that we can migrate Until then taking shelter next to my place Making sure the rent free for the tenant At the same time no word from the senate They know we in it ignore the image We need help cut the check start rebuilding Cars in the street left unattended sh**s wicked that's what's got me on a mission Seen a vision in a dream Getting lifted with the team Not to mention Spit it vivid they ain't get it n***as must be kidding [Interlude 1: cAb] Man my uncle had to pull out his boat To go up in Monticello to get my auntie And my grandma man sh**s crazy we ain't never seen nothing like this around here [Verse 2: MRA (Black Genesis)] Have you ever seen your house when it look possessed What you know about water rising to your chest Second story apartments got baptized Stilt houses breaking ties what that mean for the rest Destruction and some stress This the storm where you end up in the street With a backpack and a dream Your new car's been sent Down the back of the stream This'll tear down the fabric of your home And wash away all the seams Can never get it back and it seems That we ain't as together as you may think People up north sh** on the words of my writ Saying we deserve every last drop of this sh** Just because we chose to live in this backwood pit Wait ain't y'all got snowstorms tornados and sh** Wait never mind I can't use that logic On the cats who said that It's an empty deposit And I need all the grit I can get My grandma's home got four feet of the sh** Heard word that it never flood where it hit Off of hearing that I know her insurance was sh** [Interlude 2: MRA (Black Genesis)] I left work early to go to Monticello While my grandma was stuck in there I got a call from my auntie They both back there with water up to they waist Can't even get to them [?] [Verse 3: Ax] And you don't know our pain You don't see how far we came Katrina came through part two and sh** We just gonna rebuild [?] So put it in your brain Every time we bring it up Man it's right back down Right back down never back down Like the white man films That they show to our little black kids And they like to sell us sh** on the CNN About how you n***a just ain't gonna win And every time you think you do that's [?] And they'll treat your a** like f**ing Jeremy Lin He's an asian he don't know what he doing My n***a we all just f**ing humans Ain't no limits of my man Ain't no limits of my woman Y'all b**h n***as need to just fix the plumbing Cause a n***as shouldn't die Cause the sh** just rain f** y'all n***as y'all don't know what y'all saying Build a f**ing city that can stand my n***a Quit going off and dropping bombs on Iran n***a Got damn y'all don't care about a n***a why don't you We a part of your culture You wouldn't have made it without us Y'all don't f**ing care about us [Interlude 3: cAb] Yeah man I know them motherf**ers don't care bruh But I got something for them Some hot bars for them Check this out Yeah [Verse 4: cAb] Hey hey yo what the f** is going on My luck was going strong Until I picked up the phone Knew something was wrong Gla** house I'm the last n***a casting the stone 28 grams getting blown I'm in the zone So what we talking about I got the call Now a n***a knocking out the walls in grammy's house Surreal sh** the realness I feel it So many memories it's hard for me to deal with A common enemy everybody gonna feel this Yeah snapping picks of the bullsh** Meetings at the pulpit She wanna get saved Little did I know that that sh** was a stage Just like every other n***a they just tryna get paid I'ma speak on it And if nobody else will I'ma preach on it Extend my reach Touch the streets homie And make it rain on the powers that be [Outro: cAb] On the powers that be The powers that be f** them
