He's a man about his steez
People walk across the street when they see him coming
He's known to cut a muthafucka quick
For his clients he's got that fix
Devil in human form since the day he was born
In and Out of jail - got his moms and pops in debt for his bail
God knows to himself he comes first
He wants Gold - Mansa Musa type gold
He wants Gold - Mansa Musa type gold
He wants Gold - Mansa Musa type gold
He wants Gold - Mansa Musa type gold
She runs in circles her papa don't know about
His baby girl with her dead mamas eyes
He can't afford her college tuition
She got a sugar daddy - wants to see her succeed
Take her out the trailer park by any means necessary - even on her knees
She wants Gold - Mansa Musa type gold
She wants Gold - Mansa Musa type gold
She wants Gold - Mansa Musa type gold
She wants Gold - Mansa Musa type gold
It's the game of life
Will it be televised
All y'all got to do is act right
Will the world see us rise
I just what I deserve, what I know is mine
What is meant for me
Can't you see, brother
We've been waiting a long time
People dying in the streets
Ain't Nobody got food to eat
People digging in the garbage
Sleeping under bridges - you been holding it a long time
Ain't no way we can't make it know, ah
42 million black Americans
All we want is our share
Trying to make it from here to there
I've been around the world and I've finally made it back home
And where is home you ask
In the mind, in the soul, in the divine spirit that resides inside me
We know our worth today
We ain't just takin what we've been given
We gonna get what we've got coming, huh
Unity is the way to be free
Can't nobody take your power unless you give it away - I believe together we can do great, great things
Stay tuned world - can we do it
Is it in us
