Abm _ _ It started in slave ships.
They were not slave ships.
Gm There are more records of slave ships than one would dream.
It seems inconceivable.
_ Until you reflect it, for 200 years,
N ships sailed carrying cargo
Abm from slaves.
Non _ -violent.
In the face of the violence that we've been experiencing for the past
Cm 400 years,.
it's actually doing our people a disservice.
In fact,
N it's a crime.
It's a crime.

Now I grit my teeth, so here's a song to this song.
About the shape of a snake and a smile that went along with
N that.
Can't trust it!.
_ Can't trust it!.
No, no,
Bbm no, no!.
Can't trust it!.
_ No, no, no, no!.
Can't trust it!.
No, no, no, no!.

D trust it!.
Kick
A it, wick it, round back and forth.
You tell her cause the
Eb wickedness
Dbm done bite.
Jack with everybody at the
Eb body that
Dbm sold.
For the liquor and the gold.
D Smacked in the back for the other man
Dbm to make What.
_ _ Wicked _ .
Wicked man.
_ That man That man Kick
Eb it.
Now the story of chicken
E is gory.
No
C more rock where they be
Dbm docking this boat.
Gb No hope of shackle.
E Lost gang talk about the other hand swinging the rope.
Bb Ten red, white, and blue.
Jack and his crew.
The guys hope to ride the beat down for the vile.
Man to the man, each one sought.
Each one for the terrorized sisters.
And every brother one loved who said it.
I know who Greeny's singing.
The hater taught hate, that's why we gang banging.
Ebm Beware of the hand
Dbm when it's coming
Ebm from the left side.
Just watch your step.
Can't trust it!.
_ No, no, no, no!.
Can't trust it!.
No, no, no, no!.

D Can't trust it!.
_ Can't trust it!

I don't.
Can't trust it!.
And I judge everyone,
N one by the one.
Look, here come the judge.
Watch the every twerk now.
No sentence me, judge, I ain't.
Hating nothing, nobody.
I
Gb can only guess what's happening.
Years ago, we would've
Bb been a ship's captain.
Keeping me bruised on the cruise.
While I got the loose husk.
All contact got me laying on my back.
Buried in my own leftover.
When I rolled over, I rolled
Ab over on somebody else.
Bloody
Bb damn days on the slave
B ship.
And I'm
Bb falling off.
One, two, three, four, hunnit, and a time.
Blood in a woman is mine.
I'm tripping on spit, feeling pain like my brain being chained.
Still gotta keep with what I got.
It's hot in the day, it's cold in the
Ebm night.
I fought, I
Bb thrived to survive.
I pray to God to stay alive, my attitude balls inside.
It's that A-T, you think I ever quit.
Still I
Gb pray to get my hands around
E the neck of the man with the whip.
Ebm Had three months,
Bb put the grander label on
B my ass.
The sicker
Bb farm owned, I'm on a
Gb microphone.
Dbm Say I'm 50-55, hard living, we were living here.
Living at the word I've been given.
Heaven's got classifiers and I have none.
I have
Bb cause it's all about money.
When
Gb it comes, I'mma get mean, I'm getting mine.
Here I am, turning over, Sam.
427 to the year, do you
Bb understand.
That's my heart for the building of the land.
Once again, they seen your face.
Got an A-track,
Eb getting it
G good to
E the woods.
So the people keep
Gb it, some of that reaction.
To
Bb the facts that I can't,
C and it's.
And it's stay around, point
Dbm to the joint, put the border down.
Go and go and get to the roots, and get
Gb it up.
So tell
Dbm me, Luke,
C then again I got a story.
That's
E hotter than a hardcore
Ab course.
That's a holocaust I'm talking about, but
B what's still going on.
I don't wear a bum, not some ditty.
Come from the
Bb basement of the land.
The place of the charm, invaded by the wack, shitty wack.
It
Ebm fooled the black,
G it looked so
C faded.
King and Chief probably
Bb had a big beef.
The cause of that now, I get my teeth sold.
Hear the song, toot it and stroll about the shake of the snake.
And a smile went along with that.

B we'll watch your step, boy.
N Get dressed in,
