lirik lagu mlk day – ras kass
[chorus: eric jaye]
its all for the culture, that’s what you see
and i’mma rep it ’til i can’t no more
no matter where going ya best believe you gotta feel it in your soul for sure
[verse: ras kass]
i wonder what cats was thinking april 3rd, 1968
day before king’s murder occurred
probably optimistic, thinking ’bout driving down to memphis
now they name a street after him in low*income districts
not being negative, i’m realistic
speaking logistics in the process of keeping my wrist lit
the modern urban philosopher
rappers either make*believe kingpins or they gossipers
the dеvil traded polo shirts for swastikas
co*opted the cops, adoptеd the moniker of ‘evangelical christians’
same christians, 1960s, bombed churches and did the lynching
guess religion contradicting heaven
’cause terrorism’s homegrown, and these radical got a reverend
what is black steel? it’s that black mother with her back peeled
from whips cracking her flesh on a vast field
picking cotton, yeah, that yield
just so she could survive to protect her babies
it’s that real
black steel: the murder weapon in the hood where blacks k!ll one another
see every brother ain’t a brother
am i supposed to bleach my skin, buy blue contacts like sammy sosa
sisters strip in racist chat rooms, that cat is doja
told ya, self*hate is that ill
but you can’t change your genetics, family, you black still
[bridge: ras kass & children’s choir]

[chorus: eric jaye]
i don’t know, what you been told
but we been down for the fight my friend
marching roads, stay on your toes
’cause we gon’ celebrate this day on in
it’s all for the culture, that’s what you see
and i’mma rep it ’til i can’t no more
no matter where going ya best believe you gotta feel it in your soul for sure
[post*chorus: eric jaye & *ras kass*]
i’m on my way, can you hold my place?
i wanna do it for the king, you dig?
i wanna celebrate
ignore your hate, better fix your face
it don’t change anything he did
i wanna celebrate
keep your take if it ain’t your taste
’cause we gon’ run it ’til the day’s away
i wanna celebrate
its what you make, better know your place, or we gon’ check you on whatever you say
i wanna celebrate
*but until, just fake it motherf*cker*
*every 3rd monday of january, just fake it motherf*cker*
[bridge: ras kass & children’s choir]

[outro: news reporter]
good evening
the reverend dr. martin luther king
thirty*nine years old and a n0bel peace prize winner
and the leader of the non*violent civil rights movement in the united states was assassinated in memphis tonight
the sniper’s bullet cut down dr. king as he stood on a hotel balcony in memphis
