Uh

Yo you believe when they say we ain't shit we can't grow?

All we are is dope dealers and gangstas and hoes?

And you believe when they be tellin' you lie all on the media?

They make the world look crazy to keep you inside?

Why you listen when the teachers at school?

Know you a young single parent out strugglin' they think you a fool

Give your kids bad grades and put 'em in dumber classes

Killin' shorty future i wonder how do we last it

Underground in they casket? ancestors turnin'

I'm learnin' somethin' every day there is no lazareth

Words like god is greek or latin

So if you study egypt you'll see the truth written by the masters

My niggaz is chillin' gettin' high relaxin'

Envisionin' ownin' shit yo it can happen

What do we own? not enough land not enough homes

Not enough banks to give a brother a loan

What do we own? the skin on our backs we run and we ask

For reparations then they hit us with tax

And insurance if we live to be old what about now?

So stop bein' controlled we black zombies

Walkin' talkin' dead though we think we're livin'

(black zombies)

We just copy cat followin' the system

(black zombies)

Walkin' talkin' dead though we think we're livin

(black zombies)

We just copy-cat followin' the system

(black zombies)

Aiyo we trapped in our own brain fuck behind bars

We've already gone insane

They've already gave up cut our own heads offs

Stab our own backs and dream too much

Without fulfillin' reality too greedy and

Can't have one or two chains we need three of dem

Can't have one or two guns without squeezin' 'em

On our own people and fuck black leaders

'cause whites ain't got none leadin' them the rhythm is cosmic

Nas is divinity the deity's prophetless

All get down and get up

Victims walkin' 'round with down's syndrome all stuck

Faintin' shoutin' catchin' holy ghost in church

Scared to do it for ourselves 'less we see somebody doin' it first

We begged we prayed petitioned and demonstrated

Just to make another generation black zombies

Walkin' talkin' dead though we think we're livin'

(black zombies)

We just copy cat followin' the system

(black zombies)

Walkin' talkin' dead though we think we're livin

(black zombies)

We just copy-cat followin' the system

(black zombies)

You scared to be yourself 'cause you in a trance

Feel free hear the music and dance

If you cared what they think why wear what they wear just for you

Dumb niggaz with long beards like they arabs or jews

Or from israel bismi-allah al-rahman al-raheem

Islam's a beautiful thing

And christian and rastafari helps us to bring

Peace against the darkness which is un-godly

So what's the black man's true religion who should we follow?

Use your own intuition you are tomorrow

That's the sound of the beast i'm a columbia record slave so get paid

Control your own destiny you are a genius

Don't let it happen to you like it did to me i was a black zombie

Walkin' talkin' dead though we think we're livin'

(black zombies)

We just copy cat followin' the system

(black zombies)

Walkin' talkin' dead though we think we're livin

(black zombies)

We just copy-cat followin' the system

(black zombies)

Wake up black zombies in a spell for more than fo'-hundred years

Ghetto niggaz won't have it no mo' can i get a witness?

Why listen to somebody else tell you how to do it?

When you can do it yourself? it's all in you do it do it

Do it niggaz
