Wa-da-da, wa-da-da-da-da Cassius Clay in a ??? Shake my mind and shake the things that trap the grind Escape the dream, shooting star my aim is supreme
Pac said if you´re gon´ aim for king, claim a king My brainstorm reign supreme Black superhero with a cape and wings Still, I´m a G like a mason ring Built with gods and gangstas whose scars in faces Traces of racist snakes that debased us Tried to freebase us, mark of the beast erase us But we raised up from East Asia Children of Mother Nature The minority the courts said that we major and we major I see greater to the fire next time It´s burning down, there´s a riot in my mind
[Lenny Kravitz] It´s a war outside When it´s quiet, it´s a riot in my mind
It´s a war outside Won´t be quiet, it´s a riot in my mind
Gotta get it in, saddle up If you really about it, we gon´ see, oh yeah Gotta get it in, time is up If you been about it, we gon´ see, oh yeah
It´s a war outside Can´t be quiet, it´s a riot in my mind
Paraphernalia, aware like songs by Mahalia Soldier, buffalo, Griselda Held the scolded, told us every ??? is in seven plagues Babylon Treated days were the Gatorades Escapades of the everlasting Where the ghetto praise, fuck compassion, no longer masking
Where Black men and Black women have been art, culture, fashion The science and mad bling, dramatic attraction, we live for action Moral arc backbend, our spirits attacking To the, to the, tick-tick-tick top You can lick shots, strange fruit get cropped Get land, get stores, kick doors and sure your family is good Plus the people next door Some are tired about the times, some are inspired about the times Is what power is refined, it´s a riot in my mind
[Lenny Kravitz] It´s a war outside When it´s quiet, it´s a riot in my mind It´s a war outside
Won´t be quiet, it´s a riot in my mind
Gotta get it in, saddle up If you really about it, we gon´ see, oh yeah Gotta get it in, time is up If you been about it, we gon´ see, oh yeah
It´s a war outside Can´t be quiet, it´s a riot in my mind
