Cee Lo Green on the Wakeup Show

In the beginning there was none

Other than the original people

Skin blacken from the sun

Somewhere along the line

I broke the laws of the divine

In this close place in this soul of mine

Pale became the color of face

Feeling out place amongst, the people of my race

Feel with hate! I move to a colder climate

Intercourse with animals and rare flesh was ate

Filth and disease, subzero degrees, satin blood in my veins didn’t freeze

This hatred that I have for you! Runs deeper than your skin

I hate the one who put me in this position that I’m in

Until I realize the power of evil

Anything I have to do, I will!

I still kill and destroy

I went home Africa for safety and employ

Blue eyes, Lies, smiles was my only decoy

Snatch you up from your roots

What good is a spear when I have this new invention that shoots

Brought you here and deceive you

I change, rearrange everything you had ever believed true

My soul is cold as ice is, I sold you for prices

You were hung from trees for sacrifices

Thru the blood, sweat, tears and pain god spirit in yall still remain

Which is actually more than I got, but I have mansion and yacht?

Pride making you think about what is but not

With precision! I tell you lies thru television

Distort your religion you wrap up in materialism!

How could you kill your own? Don’t you see? you learning to act just like me?

Be more aware!! The truth is there, I tell you all the time but N**** don’t care!

But not all you! Their are few of you who give unto themselves, book on shelves

And learn something new, Once they know! They become so powerful!

Many don’t have means or the inspiration to go! to school and I know the hate it!

But you can’t get a decent job unless you properly educated

Educated about what? Seems to me, thus far, you only learn about who we are?

Is that funny, you give a school all your money

On what think you need but it never guaranteed

The misled! Mislead you; your faith has been broken,

Provoking you to do whatever we feed you

I front you some cooked cocaine in plain plastic sags,

To sell to your fellow blacks

While the foundation of your people crack

You try to resist, I will stop until you N**** don’t exist;

You N**** strong though, I give that;

You must be stupid to be that strong and still be where you at   

And you still do not have a clue and I am, who I am, because N**** like you!!!!!!!!
