lyrics

(Dr. Cornel West, 11-7-15 @ Columbia University, NY)
- Precious black and brown folk, shot down like dogs every 28 hours for 10 years and not one police man goes to jail or in the federal prison. We did send one to jail in Oakland that was community prison over Oscar Grant. You let him out quick.

Pruven verse

N.Y.C.
At Columbia University thinking deep and free I'm me
Listen to sounds of diversity
Care about someone else besides yourself
Revolutionary knowledge
Make the demons not profit
Ida B. Well's logic
More to belief
I make you think more thank you brush your teeth
But can you see?
Find true love without the streets
Rest in peace
Better show love to your family before they decease
Dialogue devastates demeaning distress damn this
Diabolical breaking out handcuff for tomorrow
Whiskey bottles & bibles
Virgins with the rifle beside you
Can you find truth in you?
Get a clue unruly
His nature is noble truly
Who is he?
I'm speaking dark and light with degrees
Set the oppressed people free
You got to see
There is a reason Jerry Springer still on the T.V.
Got to grow
Tornado's of change will blow
Tattoo souls on the low
Wearing no bar-code
Frustrated
They rather see you dead than educated
Hesitated
Is your knowledge of self vacated?
We got cell phones but barely read though
Parable provocative
Pit of panthers I'm rocking it
Non stopping spit freedom of speech passionate
Obtaining God's consciousness find eternal bliss and still live
What's happening?
They ruined the magic with your rapping
Gain clues no acting
Who's truth is lacking?
Chess moves of entrapment
The blood pool is splashing
Who's stagnant?
Got to chose the consciousness over what's ratchet.

(Dr. Cornel West)
- & we got a black president, black attorney general, black homeland security that don't deliver justice police still getting off "scott free". And if you don't allow the suffering to speak of the folk we talking about, then your not serious about education.... You playing games.


I literally was in the crowd for this speech at Columbia University on 11-7-15 listening to Dr. Cornel West. I recorded the audio on a older cellphone I had at the time. This speech inspired the writing and this song. Powerful crowd and speakers that night. Uplifting now lets take actions. #777 (pruven)
