[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 k** 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
[Hook: Esraelia]
Is it
The color of my skin
Or my grey easy hair
That makes you feel some type of way
Or wait you think that it's okay
To push me down
But I'm not stayin' on in sighs
So let's erase all this racism
And let his truth come free our minds
[Sevin]
Sevin
Brother
Yeah
For real
I'm down to get k**ed for the real that I'm speakin' in fact
You can hate it
But it needs to be stated man
Jesus was black
Check the history
You can see with the clearest of proof
God is perfect an' deservin' to be worshipped
In Spirit an' truth
Black boys be callin' me white
White boys be callin' me n***a
I ain't fit in man
My mixed skin havin' me feelin' disfigured
My truthful heritage wuzn't in encyclopedias
I was doomed to inherit what they depict inside the media
God!
Buffoons dancin' their jig
To entertain some whites
Sellin' out they own people to live that 'famous' life
Perpetuatin' behaviors that cause us pain an' strife
Till we rather retain some ice than regain our rights?
Albert Pike the masonic leader and the KKK
Look up his political ties
You'll see the way they play
Systematic genocide of the people of color
The Luciferians and Aryans sleep with each other
[Hook: Esraelia]
Is it
The color of my skin
Or my grey easy hair
That makes you feel some type of way
Or wait you think that it's okay
To push me down
But I'm not stayin' on in sighs
So let's erase all this racism
And let his truth come free our minds
[Faith Pettis]
Head up
While I'm walkin' in the mall
People split like the Red Sea
Was it the color that they saw?
They clutchin' they purses
As if I was young an' thirsty
Like my people went on hangin' on branches
In front of churches
They treat us like colored skin was made of sin
And deemed worthless
My heart ain't bad
They can't seem to get past what they see on the surface
I tell 'em
'God bless you'
And just keep walking with purpose
They say
'Get over it'
With no relief from the hurtin'
Still gettin' pulled over
Beaten up
Illegally searched
And cousin got k**ed by cops
They told his mama
They did her a service
Three shots to the head
Closed casket in the service
No one was charged
What's done in the dark
Will rise to the surface...
We're still hurtin'
[Hook: Esraelia]
Is it
The color of my skin
Or my grey easy hair
That makes you feel some type of way
Or wait you think that it's okay
To push me down
But I'm not stayin' on in sighs
So let's erase all this racism
And let his truth come free our minds
[Outro Exerpt: Martin Luther King Jr, "I Have A Dream" Speech]
I have a dream
That one day
On the red fields of Georgia
The sons of former slaves
And the sons of former slave-officers will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood
I have a dream...
My four little children
Will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin
But by the content of their character
I have a dream
[Outro: Illuminate]
Every single one of us can make a difference in this world
So let's erase this racism
And turn to Christ
