Prisoners Of War
-1st Verse- One love to Mother Earth killed by Father Time. Rhea and Cronos gave birth to Zeus, they erased it from our minds. Yeah, He carried a couple nicknames like we all do, called on by different names praying to him to see what he'll do. Listen, Every Culture seem to have their own Gods on their side, but the prisoners of war who got converted, they Cultures left behind. We all know that there's something wrong with this picture but we're told to keep it on the wall. Condemned for taking it down, stoned in the middle of town. We've been hung, Burned at the stake, drowned in their lakes, looked at with hate in the name of love they called it fate. Taught about rich and poor, what's it all for. Get thrown into school doing homework getting taught about War. Gettin thrown in dungeons for tryinna immate it. Education leaving us indoctrinated graduating. The wealthy doing their best to make sure we can't leave this Matrix except through death, already asleep all you can do is rest. Every since they took our family Crest we've been stressed. Doing our best for the pursuit of happiness in this mess. I make music for my people, let em know we Starchildren. My Ancient ancestors telling me they will come if you build it. -CHORUS- INSTILLED WITH AH ANCIENT SPIRIT, THEY COULD NEVER KILL IT. WALKS AROUND MY HOMETOWN, I STILL SEE THE VILLAGE. YEAH, IT'S BEEN PILLAGED, AH BUNCH OF HOUSES WITH BOARDS ON THE WINDOWS, CHURCHES ON EVER CORNER OF EVERY BLOCK REACHING OUT WITH THEY SYMBOLS. SOMETHING AIN'T RIGHT, CALL MY PEOPLE BLACK LIKE WE'LL NEVER SEE THE LIGHT, PLAYING WITH OUR SIGHT. INSTILLED WITH AH ANCIENT SPIRIT, THEY COULD NEVER KILL IT. WALKS AROUND MY HOMETOWN, I STILL SEE THE VILLAGE. -2nd Verse- Family Trees, falling leaves, what does it mean. Flashbacks of the past while I'm moving forward. Told to act right for they made up themes. Stage fright ain't in me fuck the script I'm improvin, producing. My home movie, my own movie, did the research, studied hard to make sure it belong to me. Tied to the land watching tourist as they come and go. Duel citizenship is something that we will never know. Blacked us out made us stamp it on our ID's. Keep tellin us we from Africa knowing that can't leave. That we won't leave, that we connected to this. Federal archeologist created tryinna hide our ancient ruins. Assassin's for the one's who bought the knowledge to you. Whether it was they character or they life just to try to prove ah fuckin point. Stay rooted to our families through the frustration. Smile for the kids stressed out tryinna hide the joint. Every since they took our family Crest we've been stressed. Doing our best for the pursuit of happiness in this mess. I make music for my people, let em know we Starchildren. My Ancient ancestors telling me they will come if you build it. -CHORUS- INSTILLED WITH AH ANCIENT SPIRIT, THEY COULD NEVER KILL IT.
