Cyne - Samura's Optic lyrics

rate me

[Cise Star:]

Afro-American, livin in the eyes of Aryan

Characteristics, contacts and hair extensions

And what we doin to ourselves just to fit in

They had us in the fields or slavin in the kitchen

It is my mission, to shed light to the subject

Confederate flags over the houses of the rednecks

American pride, or just evil in disguise

A close reminder of why many of my people died

To bring change in the midst of pain and oppression

We had to stand together and our hope was the weapon

Now we neglectin, important lessons from our forefathers

We need to stand tall and reclaim our lost honor

[Akin:]

Definin blackness, what's ghetto, and what's real

And what the fuck make a nigga wanna feel

That he gotta chase, dollars and fake

Pipe dreams and 38s, hate, wit the nickel plate

Within a arm's grasp, I'm marchin past

Them so called thugs waving arms to blast

Another black, ass

Destruct the masses, I'm Cassius Clay boxin bastards

Lyrically speaking I'm tryna touch the people and

Lyrically speaking I must critique the people and

I'm far from the likes of God

Though I am one wit self yo position is odd

Nigga, how the fuck you go knockin my style

If I'm not a real nigga than what's the profile

Is it, new shoes on my feet, every other week

Or carryin heat but niggaz just like me

I'd rather spend the most of my time

Writin in my composition note, book of rhymes

My mind's confined for now but it'll be free

When the fat lady sing from her soul to me

[Cise Star:]

We're quick to forget history's hardships

And ready to trade pride for money and bullshit

It's sick the way the media portrayin our people

Instead of motivatin change they're perpetuating evil

Negative outlooks make impressions on the youth

They try to ignorance synonymous with blackness

It's blasted, the way the images of acid

Burning into the soul, go give it guns and ratchets

[Akin:]

Yo, it's farewell to hell and, welcome in heaven

A new man is born divine like the number seven

Walk with me, if you will

Through the depths of a nigga's will it might feel

Kinda surreal

I woke up this morning smiling wit the rising sun

Like Robert Nesta Marley my day begun

One with the most high, I keep her close by

My heart when folks try

To bring me down now I'm knockin on heaven's door

Jump the gate ask for God on the seventh floor

Come holla at me see my people gotta hate complex with self

Til the point where we're numb to the pain that's dealt

Across the load, this bullshit we're not gonna know

About some brothers killin people in Sierra Leone

Over jewels that we cherish, here in America

Peace to Sorious Samura, thanks for helping the

World see the truth that they already know

So let's get free people all across the globe

From the great walls of China to France, to Johannesburg

Back to the land of Egu-Egu I recite the words

[Cise Star:]

I pledge allegiance only to those believing in me

My eyes steady on the prize til the people are free

Words to the wise so I always try to see

The things holdin me back so I can breathe

Thanks to Segun... for these lyrics
