[intro]
(man they’re really not trying to talk about this one huh
i guess somebody’s gotta speak up right
hipe the nomad
menace soldiers
listen)
[chorus 1]
400 years
they tell me forget my ancestors tears for
400 years
tell me close my eyes to the looks and the stares for
400 years
they’ve had us believing n0body cares for
400 years for
400 years
[verse 1]
no longer the whips and chains that burden the victim’s brains
it’s more that the systems ways seek to keep our struggle in place
why you think that they keep us at bey
theres a god in our d.n.a
we get treated in different ways
just because of our skin and our face
how the f-ck can you say they ain’t racist
(who?)
the govern that apparently provides for us
is the one that’s dividing us
consistently supplying us
with lies and us
people will still decide to trust
what kinda idiot ting
man they got us believing in
competing with our people in
seeking equals in the evil things
man they got us weakening
(mmm)
[chorus 2]
400 years
they tell me forget my ancestors tears for
400 years
tell me close my eyes to the looks and the stares for
400 years
they’ve had us believing n0body cares for
400 years for
400 years
[verse 2]
we were kings and queens of our kingdom
of a melanated wisdom
you can’t take a king to his own court
for to many reasons to list em
we tried to teach them love and spirit but they wouldn’t listen
they stole our knowledge and ran with it
and said it was theirs to begin with
history’s not mine
his story’s not right
nah
he’s telling lies
history’s not truth
history’s not fact
it depends who writes it
his story’s not ours
that story’s all theirs but still they deny it
history’s all fake, how long do we take it
it’s still them that supplies it
uh
words of a worldwide wisdom
i’ve missed them
wisdom, my words on my mind
tryna speak of the gifts of the kingdom
i’ve lived them
i’ve lived them on worlds left behind
walls painted in gold where the ashes of where
yeah they smoulder, they smoulder in gold
where the light of the sun poured down, shone brightly and melted the king of the cold
[chorus 3]
400 years
they tell me forget my ancestors tears for
400 years
tell me close my eyes to the looks and the stares for
400 years
they’ve had us believing n0body cares for
400 years for
400 years
[verse 3]
i will never sell my soul for a price
i will never settle just because it seems nice
you can never tell me i am not free
knowledge is power, best learn how to read
i control myself, i control me
you use your two eyes
i withhold three
i am thrice great, you can call me hermes
you believe outside, i believe in
you reject love, well i reject sin
you reject nonsense, i reject hate
when a man speaks truth you know you gotta rate it
[outro]
400 years for
400 years
for
400 years
400 years man
