Seeds Of Change

You don’t want to hear a thing
But now you see the proof
Ya they gave you all a king
But then you went and shot him too
So we battle back with flames
So you can go and bring the troops
Throwing down the seeds of change
Ya Our blood will grow the roots
(Jam Young) (Verse One)
Need our message to be heard
Sometimes it can’t be peaceful
When we protest or use our words
News spins and spins it so deceitful
If they gon label us anyway
Do what they want and just get away
Might as well turn and the burn the tables
Don’t believe everything learned on the cable
Or the internet
Don’t interject
Unless you in the ‘jects
Where 911 is the biggest threat
When racism still in effect
How pigment leads to pigs lack of respect
Scared of your skin
Not the black of a tek
Scared for their life
Not the blank of a check
Forget a suspension
We need the pensions
Not a at mention
(PIKE) (Chorus)
You don’t want to hear a thing
But now you see the proof
Ya they gave you all a king
But then you went and shot him too
So we battle back with flames
So you can go and bring the troops
Throwing down the seeds of change
Ya Our blood will grow the roots
(Jam Young) (Verse 2)
DR. KING had a dream
Not yet visualized
Malcom X even switched teams
Now they both resting from pride
As brown people are we destined to die
Before 35
Before our potential is realized
Real eyes see you vandalize our lives-
All of the time
Can’t get a blue face
So we get blue in the face
Taste of blue in our face
Could lead to led blew in your face
DAMN
Singing the blues
What else can do
Find local orgs. sign petitions
Instead of reading the news
(PIKE) (Chorus)
You don’t want to hear a thing
But now you see the proof
Ya they gave you all a king
But then you went and shot him too
So we battle back with flames
So you can go and bring the troops
Throwing down the seeds of change
Ya Our blood will grow the roots
