You give me something worth fighting for.  
Something to look forward to.  
And in exchange...  
You get 5 busted nuts you didn't even know you had left in you
Fuck yeah I was counting
after a late night of shit talking uno and a couple of drinks to push us further from our pasts
You get free labor  
A sounding board  
And HOPE
because you didn't always have it.
And the world loved making a statistic out of you just for the fuck of it
and that seemed more real than you owning a successful business.
But you here now baby. Praise Yah!
It just took a little bit of encouragement because yes black men still need that  
It may come as a shocker that I'm willing to get in a cage and throw on a few shackles and chains for you because in your life time imprisonment had never been a positive thing,
But Yahuah did it for me.
And back then I would have   
I’d just rather been a slave to your cause  
Than to the "white Jesus" I thought kept taking money out of my motherfucking community  
Or hustling on the street where the competition is so tough my life has not value and I look just like you we share the same struggles and have the same enemy  
Or to music that makes me pump hate into my mind and back out to our people  
Yes, I guess I get a little kinky for black prosperity  
Watch what I do with a righteous leader with an influential testimony  
I got trained to like pain  
so when the devil comes back around to knock me on my ass  
this time I'm ready for war  
and I'm not afraid to get hurt a little  
at least I'm not another casualty just because my discernment is poor and I'm oblivious and ignorant
This black man will win
with me at his feet being only one example amongst many other women
And shit that's the best seat in the house  
to sit back and watch people submitting to him just because I did.
