Take it back, take it way back, take it way way [Gm] back to the first black man.
Long ago before the white man could paint the black man with a gun in his hand.
Take it back, take it way back, take it way way back to the first white man.
At the very moment when he looked around and said, fuck it, I'ma steal this land.
Take it back, take it way back, take it way way back to the first black man.
Long ago before the white man could paint the black man with a gun in his hand.
Take it back, take it way back, take it way way back to the first white man.
At the very moment when he looked around and said, fuck it, I'ma steal this land.
Probably they wanna tell me what I am, but I am not.
You ain't black, you a motherfuckin' white boy.
Shut your mouth, you a ripe boy.
Aight boy, man, why you such a hype boy?
You always talk about being black, skin too white.
Nigga, fuck that.
Everything you talk about, cut that.
Everything you do, you do, you do.
That door you tryna open, you can shut that.
Grip the gat, yeah, that's how I'ma buck back.
Tell me what I am and what I know now.
All this prejudice has got to go.
Life is moving fast, I need to slow down.
Come and see me when I am in your town.
Practice what we preach before it go down.
Practice what we preach before it go.
Yes, I got to get the gat for sure.
Will I have to get the gat?
No, no.
Yes, I got to get the gat for sure.
But will I have to get the gat, get the gat, get the gat?
The acid deep down inside of me.
The plantation deep down inside of me.
Every motherfucker like side of me.
Cause one of the other one ain't got to be.
Tell me why my mama gotta lie to me.
You ain't ever wanna lie to me.
When I'm on the loose on earth, what I try to be.
I just wanna spread a message of equality.
And yes, I got to get the gat for sure.
Will I have to get the gat?
No, no.
Yes, I got to get the gat [Gm] for sure.
But will I have to get the gat, get the gat, get the gat?
Take it back, take it way back.
Take it way, way back to the first black man.
Long ago before the white man could paint a black man with a gun in his hand.
Take it back, take it way back.
Take it way, way back to the first white man.
After every moment when he looked around and said,
fuck it, I'ma steal this land.
Take it back, take it way back.
Take it way, way back to the first black man.
Long ago before the white man could paint a black man with a gun in his hand.
Take it back, take it way back.
Take it way, way back to the first white man.
After every moment when he looked around and said,
fuck it, I'ma steal this land.
Take it back, take it way back.
Take it way, way back to about 1990.
Shady Grove Hospital in Rockville, Maryland.
7.36 AM.
Where a biracial baby was born to a black father and a white mother.
Father that wasn't there.
Addicted to crack cocaine, alcohol, various other drugs.
Saying this is mom.
So I'm gonna tell you about that, right?
I'm gonna tell you about how all this young boy ever wanted was happiness.
All he wanted was positivity.
All he ever wanted to do was entertain.
And this boy went through hell.
You gotta understand, his mother was racist, which is crazy.
Because how in the fuck is you gonna have all these black babies with black men, but you racist?
Like, bitch, that don't make sense, but it is what it is.
You know, he grew up, her calling him a nigger.
The kids at school calling him a cracker.
Identifying as black, looking as white, being told what you can or can't be.
This kid went through everything.
He went through, he saw narcotics in the household, violence, murderers, drug dealers.
He was kidnapped.
There was crazy shit that happened to this kid.
And he persevered while the whole world said, what they said?
Said, you wouldn't be shit.
You ain't gonna be nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing.
And I, and he, he said, fuck that.
I'm gonna persevere.
And that's why the message is always peace, love, and positivity.
See, he always saw things from two sides.
He always saw things from two sides.
He always knew that the message, everybody was born equal, regardless of race, religion,
color, creed, and sexual orientation.
He knew that because he saw that.
Because he was stripped and torn down by his black brothers and sisters that were uneducated
and that did not know.
And he was stripped and he was torn down by his white side that did not know.
These people that are ignorant, that cannot see the bigger picture, that must fight and
kill and murder each other.
But once again, all he ever wanted to do was spread a message of equality for every man,
woman, and child, regardless of race, religion, color, creed, and sexual orientation.
Take it back, take it way back, way, way back to the first.
Now, imagine a child growing up and seeing the craziest shit, being a part of the craziest
shit, running around with the wrong people, running around with guns and knives and fighting
and stealing and all this because he didn't know.
He didn't know.
But he knew deep down in his heart that it wasn't right.
And he knew that he needed to get away from it.
Now, I want you to also imagine that at 17 years old, this child, okay, leaves home and
gets two jobs to support himself, two jobs that he works in the morning and the evenings.
And then he would then come home to about eight or nine hours of sleep, spend four,
five, six hours of that working on music, persevering, grabbing a remote control and
looking in the mirror and pretending to see thousands and thousands and thousands of people
just chanting his name, hoping that it would happen.
But the world said, no, motherfucker, little motherfucker, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
you nigga, you cracker, you white boy, you black motherfucker, no, no, take it back,
take it way back, take it way, way back to the first.
And he said, fuck that.
He said, peace, love, and positivity.
He said equality for all men, regardless of race, religion, color, creed, and sexual orientation.
Yeah.
Now I want you to also imagine people telling him that he did not live this life.
You're just a white boy.
You ain't never experienced that shit.
You from Gaithersburg, Maryland.
Nothing happens there.
Oh, no, no, we know we weren't there.
We didn't live with you.
We didn't live in your section eight household.
We didn't live with the narcotics and violence in your household.
You just saw from the outside, outside, outside, outside, outside, outside, outside, outside.
And since you're white, you got to have money, right?
Take it back, take it way back, take [Dm] it way, way back to the first black man.
[Gm] And this young man persevered in spite of what people told him that he was, wasn't,
would, and would never be.
Take it back, take it way back, take it way, way back to the first black.
And that man is here today.
Proud.
A lover of all human beings, regardless of race, religion, color, creed, sexual orientation.
Yeah.
And he's here to say.
[Bb] Even though we're all born and created equal, we're not treated equally.
There's extremists on every [B] side.
And you should just do your best to live life and let other people believe whatever they
want to believe.
As long as they're not hurting anybody.
[A] You can believe they're going to hell.
You can believe it's not right.
You can [B] believe you're superior.
Fine.
