[03:56.11]
[04:11.46]Yeah
[04:14.20]Yeah, Let's flip it
[04:15.67]I don't think they understand what I'm trying to say
[04:22.75]
[04:23.70]I asked a question like this
[04:25.26]"Are we a lost generation of our people?
[04:27.32]Add us to equations but they'll never make us equal.
[04:29.56]She who writes the movie owns the script and the sequel.
[04:31.75]So why ain't the stealing of my rights made illegal?
[04:33.56]
[04:34.07]They keep us underground working hard for the greedy,
[04:36.25]But when it's time pay they turn around
[04:37.81]and call us needy.
[04:38.62]My crown too heavy like the Queen Nefertiti
[04:40.81]Gimme back my pyramid, I'm trying to free Kansas City.
[04:43.36]Mixing masterminds like your name Bernie Grundman.
[04:45.36]Well I'm gonna keep leading like a young Harriet Tubman
[04:47.61]You can take my wings but I'm still goin' fly
[04:49.86]And even when you edit me the booty don't lie
[04:52.29]Yeah, keep singing and I'mma keep writing songs
[04:54.41]I'm tired of Marvin asking me, "What's Going On?
[04:56.92]March to the streets 'cuz I'm willing and I'm able
[04:58.98]Categorize me, I defy every label
[05:01.41]And while you're selling ****,
[05:02.41]we're gonna keep selling hope
[05:03.47]We rising up now, you gotta deal you gotta cope
[05:05.84]Will you be electric sheep?
[05:06.84]Electric ladies, will you sleep?
[05:09.40]Or will you preach?"
