    Title: Black Dialogue


    [Akrobatik]
    Yeah, it was written in the books of Europeans we were savage
    That our history was insignificant and minds below average
    But how can one diminish the work
    Of the most imitated culture on this earth
    Fast foward to 2000 and now
    You see it everywhere you look, speech, music, fasion and style
    It's black dialogue
    Go ahead kid, try it on
    It's much harder to master than precision with firearms
    Corny niggaz switch it up and rent it to Viacom
    But it was taught to me early on by my mom
    Master yourself, for maximum outreach potential
    Respect that you get from that will roll exponential
    Preferential treatment, brings us heat when
    It only goes to those who rock the diamonds and sequence
    They invite the kiddies to the video show
    To watch the fake titty models all act like hoes
    I guessed it goes the more ignorants the more pressed
    But everywhere I look I see black people with more stress
    But does that mean we should be shucking and jiving
    Fucking and kniving just to keep our bank accounts thriving
    See I walked the path my elder laid out
    Cause acting like a monkey for white folks is played out
    I get my own money, on my own turn
    Got heat for everybody, watch the microphone burn

    [Mr. Lif]
    let me tell you about my niggaz nowadays
    Nowadays niggaz acting like slaves because it pays many ways
    A, to get the pussy - B, to get the cars
    C, the jewels around their neck
    But their demise is not farfetched
    Step with that Uncle Tom, fucking palm action
    And my TV's always off because I see something truely black then

    Aww shit, got a call from Brother Malcolm
    Awakening from the grave, he's asking "what the fuck happened"
    I said these niggaz all want homes in the Hamptons
    It's Dimension shows so they do what white man asks them
    Throwing money at the screen that other brother ain't catching
    Yes, hellish foes, and now they rest in peace, thanks for asking
    They rather teach eachother how to fire chrome than to buy a home
    There's power in the land that we own
    You need capital to start to win the capitialism
    Take the money from the sales and find a place to be living
    Rather black landlords than white chalk on the floor
    Our mentalities for casualites are keeping us poor
    And the poor teach the rich how to work
    Rich teach the kids how to invest
    Hence we dying from stress
    And the rhythm from the drums shine its own sun
    My father said, "you think a brighter day ever gon' come"
    I said, "pop, rock the beat box
    and I'm a empty out my mind cause I'm around till I drop"

    Yo, Martin and Malcolm knew it
    Black dialogue
    Grandma Moses drew it
    Black dialogue
    Stevie Wonder seen it
    Black dialogue
    Many games to steam with
    Black dialogue
    Jim Brown, ran with
    Black dialogue
    Cubie Nukem ??? had a plan with
    Black dialogue
    Chuck D took a stand for

    KRS is the man with
    Black dialogue
    The whole world is after
    Black dialogue
    The whole world is after
    Black dialogue
    The whole world is after
    Black dialogue
