Bea$t of a nation

O.G. Tone

I behold the chalice of our great truths

In my two hands

As I stand before you I can only

Tell you my greatest truths

Or

I can just tell you my friends

How I feel inside my head

I am simply guilty

What more can I say

I took all of what you were telling me

In I just gave it all away to some one who cares?

I don't need no more bullshit

You have fed me too many lies to live with

I am full of shit!

I am brave but I don't want to be

In graved with a slave ship mentality

Thousands of people have died to keep quiet about nothing

Something kept those quite

In running with shackles on from a slave ship

Wasn't in option!

Indeed? ...the ship was packed with gold fragments

We never spoke about our long journey from Eden

My mothers, great grand mother

Never told she was rapped in sold

The same gold you stole

Bought her freedom one day

My mothers, great grand mother was a proud women

Not a slave!

I have a very rare keepsake of her smiling

Looking the same beautiful way

After she was sold in slave

We are all a mixed race today in gold paved the way

Their are those that are ignorant

In have said to me return back to Africa

I was never born a slave you bastards

I am a Black man yes!

I am not a fucken actor I can't pretend to be a human slave

Its 2017 what does all this slave mentality thinking mean

I didn't vote for our president

So excuse me for faking the love

We have a legitimate grudge

For any of you that think you are above

The legal ramifications

There is not a single human being that can't be judged

Its the attitude one partakes

That separates mankind in everyday thugs

I can't close one eye if I can't see the love in the sky

Nor feel its present by

So where is the true love my brotha above

Do we all take a oath to die first

To show our loyalty to whom we love

Today I stand before you my people holding the chalice of truth

I speak for you

When I say out of pain

This is a beast of a nation
