[00:20.81]Come look into the eyes of a man named Gucci
[00:23.07]Got me peepin' out the blinds like Malcolm with the Uzi
[00:25.98]The government the church and the world is so polluted
[00:28.50]They callin' me a criminal when I'm a revolution
[00:31.01]Woke up in a prison cell and I had a revelation
[00:33.51]That my life's a testimony I could be an inspiration
[00:36.05]From the 6 to the Chi got so much in Common
[00:38.64]Gucci Mane and Common did you see this comin'
[00:40.88]
[00:41.68]With an attitude a hundred miles and runnin'
[00:43.75]I done did some things so dirty that I wish I never done it
[00:46.41]All eyes on me America's most wanted
[00:48.90]It's so hard to be a black man in a white man country
[00:51.66]Product of the slums with rich white folks' money
[00:53.90]And the police got no love for me but I'm not scared of nothin'
[00:56.59]Mass incarcerate us man and then they call it justice

[01:28.20]Like Jeremiah and Jasper
[01:30.02]Children of Zimbabwe and Madagascar
[01:32.63]Africa unite we on the move like runaway slaves through the night
[01:36.06]I write freedom ain't far
[01:37.68]My North Star's more than a sports car
[01:39.80]Taught by the ancestors who fought for our
[01:42.18]Liberation army
[01:43.64]Islam palmed me and calmed me
[01:45.41]So the world couldn't blond me
[01:46.93]LecTures by Kwame Ture

[02:40.68]Trayvon'd be in his last year of college
[02:43.26]I still mourn for Christopher Wallace
