What you know bout studio in the kitchen
Cooking up now who doing dishes
Mixing it up until it's finished
Drop another banger ooo just listen
Whole team G.I.F.T.E.D
Recordz spinning
Limitless vision
Tribe on a mission
Elevate children
Pot keep stirring
Tryna feed the village
Need to come together and raise these children
Nation divided
That ain't no accident
They keep on gassing it
That racism passing it
Down generations we inhabiting
A country built on genocide
A system much like Apartheid
And on our side
It's a far cry
From equal they don't care bout our lives
Wanna have a talk bout all lives
That's fine but can we please start with the small fries
There's a lot of us
But we don't got a voice like y'all guys
I been told
That I got the best of both worlds
Man where do I begin
Some told me that I was privileged cuz the color of my skin
But when the popo see me to them
I'm just another black man
Some call my pigment light
Others call it white
I don't really know what that analogy is
But you see the system would rather see me
Gradually
Make it
They want us to stay basic
Stay in our comfort zone
Got us scared to leave our home
Don't wanna see us make it on our own
So many black men blown away
For no reason system brainwashing us
Tryna find a way
To justify what they
Conducting is ok
Happening everyday
Take your breath away
So I gotta move rapidly
Got my crew right behind me
MRXM here to stay
Ouuu
We pave the way we pave the way
That racism is not ok
We ain't with that negativity
No
Negatives cuz we after way more than zeros
Really tryna be a leader to the people
King, Stokely, Mandela, X
Some of my heroes
Not picture perfect
But cinematic no b-roll
They was on main stage
Wasn't for fame's sake
Wasn't no save face
It was on God's grace
They done laid the groundwork
So imma just keep pursing
My people in bondage
Intangible chains they losing
The fight against oppression
The new Jim Crow depression
Suicide at all time rates
And police can kill us and keep profession
So what we tell them
Love yourself
And know yourself
Create your wealth
Sustain your wealth
Now build your health
Now check your health
Now speak your truth
Don't waste your breath
Positive thinking good vibes is the first step
Brothers stay dying over pride and what they rep
Grandma used to tell me go get the switch or the belt
It's up to you how you play with the cards you were dealt
Sometimes I get tired of us all singing the same song
Ay free my bro out the pen even though he did wrong
We bleed the same colors
So why we all can't get along
My honest opinion we all got keys to the throne
I see kings
I see queens
I see Martin with his dreams
I see Malcom giving his speech
Pressing how we all need to be in sync
Come here brothers love your sisters
Don't do it don't kill yourself
Lift up rise up
Do it for the culture
Only to excel
Ouuu
We pave the way we pave the way
That racism is not ok
We ain't with that negativity
