for those who chose the sea - nantes lyrics

[verse]
i pray these words i speak will heal the world
their weight is heavy like the shackles ofays place upon our wrists
our brown skin in silver chains and wounded by threaded whips
captivity causes caution but the ocean now speaks
her utterance is the cadence for rebellion that i hope will reach my brothers
enemies in arm’s reach, i gotta act now
for my woman, for my son
as i take this cracker’s life, his hands loosen the rifle and i grab it
rushin’ to the upper deck
i’m gunnin’ for liberation
the savagery that they painted is now mines to behold
can this power in my palms reclaim what they have stole?
it wasn’t the ocean talking but i fear i’ve always known
it seem pensive on paper when the ancestors speak
their transmission is never clear
it lies in signs i can’t read
i bet they think twice before placin’ faith in delinquents
i bet their pleonasm could be whittled to a word
it’ll fall on deaf ears like the silence of a thousand screams
it’s plenty dreams we hold in our palms that scared dr. king
they raped our land and hate our women
string us up and preach forgiveness?
now, i’m petrified by the white folks i might know
on the west, we bang the set but they gentrifyin’ the coast
hood documentaries on enemies in hoods i can’t step in
in contrast, notice welcomes are extended to a white man with a camera
you ain’t learn from the cointelpro?
you ain’t learn from the dreams of the ships where we had suffered?
you ain’t learn from them colors causin’ damage to our brothers?
and my sisters, s*xualized by the shapes that they were given
no, yo baby ain’t fast, he shouldn’t be in there wit her
call us savage but we get from the rapes y’all know had happened
figure if you shroud it through secrecy then the image is currently convincin’
and its convenient if you spin it
the sea is callin’ to us, we descended from the depths
but if you listen closely, they inform us of the future
so i dream of my descendant who wrestle with being good enough
he wanna change the world wit six strings and one goal
may this rifle in my hand resemble his les paul
may these weapons i been given offer safety for my woman and my son
an example of our power and the choice to stand up, break these m*th*f*ckin’ chains
so if you descended from slaves, you better do the same f*ckin’ thing
don’t run away
[hook]
i run away
i run away
i run away
i run away
but they say “you can’t escape”
you can’t escape
you can’t escape
you can’t escape
then i think it won’t change
it won’t change
it won’t change
it won’t change
i run away, i
i run away, i
i run away
i run away
i run away
i run away (you can’t keep on runnin’)
but they say “you can’t escape”
you can’t escape
you can’t escape
you can’t escape
then i think it won’t change
it won’t change
it won’t change (it won’t change)
it won’t change
i run away, i
i run away, i
[outro: 1*800*40*acres commercial]
them ofays got you down?
workin’ that b*tch ass 9 to 5, knowin’ they still got the power to end you and yo babies life wit one phone call to the pigs?
well, call 1*800*40*acres!
we got ways to make them crackers pay! and they called reparations!!

and now, back to the noogy adams show on the wb…
