[Intro: Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.]
I accept the Nobel Prize for peace
At a moment when 22 million negroes of the United States
Are engaged in a creative battle
To end the long night of racial injustice
[Hook: King Mez & Well$]
When you are who you think you are
Feel like [?]
Voices of a generation
Start a revolution
Can't [?] my back with all these nooses
Well I guess this is my execution
Someone tell my momma this my execution
Nail a n***a to a cross, this my execution
Can't [?] my back with all these nooses
Well I guess this is my execution
[Verse 1: Kig Mez]
Plenty paranoia make it hard for me to see
All these fans they say I got
All this love thats in these streets
All these bloggers writing about me
Acting like they've seen what I've seen (shieeet)
You ain't lovin' these streets
You ain't murdering these beats n***a
[Verse 2: Well$]
You ain't put the work that we've put
They ain't listening when you speak
You ain't Jordan at his peak
You ain't reaching all these kids
And they'll throw flowers at your feet
[Verse 3: King Mez]
Keep ya coward in your seats (sh**)
I can show you what a target is
And it burn through the muscle and cartilage
Top fade better than your barber is
Or harbour this pain, so much pain
Nice hair, growing up father less
Where momma gun at knowing my momma miss
I for one am not a fan of these .. n***as
Keanu Reeves with piano keys (n***a)
[Hook: King Mez & Well$]
When you are who you think you are
Feel like [?]
Voices of a generation
Start a revolution
Can't [?] my back with all these nooses
Well I guess this is my execution
Someone tell my momma this my execution
Nail a n***a to a cross, this my execution
Can't [?] my back with all these nooses
Well I guess this is my execution
[Verse 4: Well$]
Looking back on everything that we have started here
This is T-Mac and Vince Carter in they hardest year
Me and Mez back-to-back with that truce
It's still black-on-black in his coupe
I send a pair of n***as to shoot
They screaming "execute, execute"
This is something I'm blessed to do
Only taking what I need
Then I leave the rest with you
I hope my words rest with you
Hope that you find peace
They eyein' me
My dogs in these streets
They trying to find a leash
[Verse 5: King Mez]
Cops want to execute me
School system want to execute me
World want to execute me
While I'm young, black and dreaming
Only the lord salute me
Women wanna execute me
Alcohol execute me
This purple might execute me
My pride might just execute me
Rollin around with my n***as
They rocking the blackest Uzi
[Verse 6: Well$]
They aim with no concious usually
You hold no weight around here truly
Better watch what you say dawg
4-50 and your face carved
Everybody got n***as in the graveyard
[Hook: King Mez & Well$]
When you are who you think you are
Feel like [?]
Voices of a generation
Start a revolution
Can't [?] my back with all these nooses
Well I guess this is my execution
Someone tell my momma this my execution
Nail a n***a to a cross, this my execution
Can't [?] my back with all these nooses
Well I guess this is my execution
[Outro: Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.]
I accept this award
On the behalf of the civil right movement
Which is moving with determination
And the majestic scorn for risk and danger
To establish a reign of freedom and a rule of justice
I am mindful that only yesterday in Birmingham, Alabama
Our children, crying out for brotherhood, were answered with fire hoses
Snarling dogs and even d**h
I am mindful that only yesterday in Philadelphia, Mississippi
Young people seeking to secure the right to vote were brutalized and murdered
And only yesterday more than 40 houses of worship in the State of Mississippi alone
Were bombed or burned because they offered a sanctuary to those who would not accept segregation
I am mindful that debilitating and grinding poverty afflicts my people
And chains them to the lowest rung of the economic ladder
