Black Zombie Lyrics – Nas
Singer: Nas
Title: Black Zombie
Uhh
Yo, you believe when they say we ain’t sh#t, we can’t grow?
All we are is dope dealers, and gangstas and hoes?
And you believe when they be telling you lie, all on the media?
They make the world look crazy to keep you inside?
Why you listen when the teachers at school
Know you a young single parent out struggling, they think you a fool
Give your kids bad grades and put ’em in dumber classes
Killing shorty future, I wonder how do we last it
Underground in they casket? Ancestors turning
I’m learning something every day, there is no Lazareth
Words like God is Greek or Latin
So if you study Egypt, you’ll see the truth written by the masters
My n#gg#s is chilling, getting high, relaxing
Envisioning, owning sh#t, yo it can happen
What do we own? Not enough land, not enough homes
Not enough banks, to give a brother a loan
What do we own? The skin on our backs, we run and we ask
For reparations, then they hit us with tax
And insurance if we live to be old, what about now?
So stop being controlled, we black zombies
Walking talking dead, though we think we’re living (black zombies)
We just copy-cat, following the system (black zombies)
Walking talking dead, though we think we’re living (black zombies)
We just copy-cat, following the system (black zombies)
Aiyyo we trapped in our own brain, f*ck behind bars
We’ve already gone insane
They’ve already gave up, cut our own heads offs
Stab our own backs and dream too much
Without fulfilling reality; too greedy and
Can’t have one or two chains, we need three of them
Can’t have one or two guns without squeezin ’em
On our own people and, f*ck black leaders
Cause whites ain’t got none leading them, the rhythm is cosmic
All get down and get up
Victims walking ’round with Down’s Syndrome, all stuck
Fainting, shouting, catching Holy Ghost in church
Scared to do it for ourselves ‘less we see somebody doing it first
We begged, we prayed, petitioned and demonstrated
Just to make another generation, black zombies
You scared to be yourself, cause you in a trance
Feel free, hear the music and dance
If you cared what they think, why wear what they wear, just for you
Dumb n#gg#z with long beards like they Arabs or Jews
Or from Israel, (?)bish’meal Allah, el-rachman, el-Rahim (?)
Islam’s a beautiful thing
And Christian and Rastafari, helps us to bring
Peace against the darkness, which is unGodly
So what’s the black man’s true religion, who should we follow?
Use your own intuition, you are tomorrow
That’s the sound of the beast
I’m a Columbia record slave, so get paid
Control your own destiny, you are a genius
Don’t let it happen to you like it did to me, I was a black zombie
Wake up! Black zombies in a spell for more than fo’-hundred years
Ghetto n#gg#s won’t have it no mo’, can I get a witness?
Why listen to somebody else tell you how to do it
When you can do it yourself; it’s all in you, do it, do it
Do it n#gg#s
