Kemba - Caesar's Rise lyrics

[Hook] Does this sh** make you intimidated? Does this sh** make you intimidated? [Verse 1] Please don't call me conscious Don't call it political Please don't deem this lyrical These are negro spirituals That's the generation raising guns against they General Raisin in the sun, I'll raise my son to be less cynical Raised on a steady diet of Chef Boyardee Beef-a-roni cup, a slice of bread, and Hi-C I took the shackles off my feet like Mary Mary Now I'm more marionettist Pulling strings, you're merely Miri Ben-Ari Please, n***a Woah I know you want to flaunt I want to flaunt too But it ain't been that long Since there was n***as in the Bronx Zoo So imma pour some out for Ota Benga Jury said I been resistant Mama said say no to strangers and I listened, uh Picture God grabbing Adam by the Adam's Apple Just as Adam's having at the apple Now those atoms got you grabbing at your f**in' Apple tablet Packing up, cause there's a black man in all black tats and [Hook] Does this sh** make you intimidated? Does this sh** make you intimidated? [Verse 2] Aquemini and some Idlewild in my tidal I see you Ruben Studdards been idle while I been idol I notice when I walked in you n***as got quiet I gave you three days grace, now I'm about to start a riot Hold up I was raised off a three-piece, only dark meat Strangers call us n***as and darky Like that's gon' hurt us and sh** Like I ain't say worse to my brothers during the dozens And those same brothers Ain't out here getting murdered and sh** f** I'm not naive, I see your micro-aggression You may think you're hard to read You're really hyper-expressive You may think we'll let you slide cause you described as satire But even with that slack, nah your sh** is not that impressive We're like the Haley Joel Osments of the undertones Reading through your flag, and your skull and bones Now the chickens coming home Roosting on the roof of f**ing Fox and CNN Send reporters to the war so you can watch and see us win Hoe [Hook] w/ Nina Simone's To Be Young, Gifted and Black Does this sh** make you intimidated? Does this sh** make you intimidated? [Bridge] When I looked at you Yes, I knew that you can shoot me down A sudden move will have me six feet in the ground Well please don't be surprised If I don't compromise With a knife stuck in my back, cause this is Caesar's rise [Instrumental Pause] [Verse 3] Shoutout to them n***as I don't f** with I hope you see me glowing Grown men doing f** sh** and hopefully you know it Mama sorry if you're listening, I don't cause no conflict My conscience is calmness is cognitive dissonance I been told it's a slippery slope, well I'm Cool Runnings My n***as pulling strings like B.B. King when the blues coming Viewers ride the fence, tryna prove something Choose something You ain't even eating, n***a chew something Do something Shawty called and told me I done changed since I been in it Like, since I been kinda winning, I been condescending I been spending Earth, Wind and Fire Earth, Wind, and Firebending I been screaming "n***a" at n***as so much that I'm offended Albeit, I'm being heartless Done fought so many demons, I'm exhausted Had the city on my back, now there's a target Your battle is uphill, you're doing crossfit Cause you're sh** Your feeble chatter is fecal matter, you only talk sh** [Snippet from Karen Hunter on Donald Trump (MSNBC)]
