Damn
Even while he was struggling and all that type of stuff
And his strength
That was some shit that a lot of black America
Could really identify with as a father figure
You gotta listen
Mr. Evans was a good father (good father)
He loved his wife, plus his two sons and his daughter
He loved his life and plus his public persona
That's why they had to kill him off, by season three was a goner
And the city went
Damn, damn, damn, damn
Yeah, the whole street was going
Damn, damn, damn, damn
Yeah, yeah, the whole block was going
Damn, damn, damn, damn
Yeah, yeah, the neighborhood was going
Damn, damn, damn, damn
Yeah, yo, yo
The devil planted fear inside the black babies
50 Cent sold his granny's pay to Jehovah
Top of that, Florida, she never made it to the coroner
Nobody was mourning her, somebody call the coroner
It's crazy how the time flies, but I can still remember
Still what they televise, was part of their agenda
To conquer and divide, to make us all surrender
Destroy the head of the home, so they could apprehend us
And them layoffs were never temporary
Just chaos until the cemetery
Every child needs a hero, take that hero out the picture
That's how they paralyze you, slide in and hit ya
Control the images and dialogue
Now check the symbols, watch your Viacom
But I'm like Ice Cube in Ride Along
And Nat Turner once he realized he read the Bible wrong
I got 'em saying
Damn, damn, damn, damn
Yeah, the whole street is going
Damn, damn, damn, damn
Yeah, yeah, the whole block is going
Damn, damn, damn, damn
Yeah, yeah, the neighborhood is going
Damn, damn, damn, damn
Yeah, yo, yo
They start wars, then call us the savages
Rich manipulate our basic needs just to manage us
Sell weapons to both sides, taking advantage
And justify who dies, collateral damage
Life in prison for smoking natural cannabis
Politicians pollute for profit, our planet vanishes
The future of Los Angeles is Atlantis
Antarctica's melting, the sea level rises
Sicily is sinking, Florida's flooding, crisis
Religious rightists, really the Antichrist
Government's xenophobic so I'm becoming an anarchist
Trump's America to North Korea
Stupid hairdo having, moronic ass leaders
They'd rather save animals than families, fuck PETA
Planet of the Apes was metaphor for Civil Rights movement
The black man is Caesar, but suffering from amnesia
Damn, damn, damn, damn
Yeah, the whole street is going
Damn, damn, damn, damn
Yeah, yeah, the whole block is going
Damn, damn, damn, damn
Yeah, yeah, the neighborhood is going
Damn, damn, damn, damn
Yeah, yo, yo
They're popping mollies at the Sugar Shack, kids they're going crazy
Their goal is genocide, they out to murder seven tribes
They're watching what you purchasing, watching who you worshipping
Close the door when you walk in, don't let the serpents in
It's crazy when the soul cries, the sound can make you tremble
Just like when hope dies, that fear can overwhelm you
You know they told lies, still trying to convince you
Prison's a billion dollar business, they trying to convict you
Sometimes it's hard to keep us elevated
Eugenics hatred keep us regulated
Most of the melanated never made it
Since they invaded, they pray that we all stay miseducated
Never reperated, segregated in Jim Crow
But you reap what you sow, it's tenfold
Tell us good times come when you die and go to heaven
Tell that to Florida Evans, damn
Damn, damn, damn, damn
Yeah, the whole street is going
Damn, damn, damn, damn
Yeah, yeah, the whole block is going
Damn, damn, damn, damn
Yeah, yeah, the neighborhood is going
Damn, damn, damn, damn
Yeah, yo, yo
Damn
