[Kanye West - Slavery Was a Choice Pt. 2 May 1, 2018 lyrics]
We need to have open discussions
And ideas on unsettled pain
To make myself clear of course I
Know that slaves did not
Get shackled and put on a boat by free will
My point is for us to have
Stayed in that position even though
The numbers were on our side means
That we were mentally enslaved
They cut out our tongues so
We couldn't communicate to each
Other i will not allow my tongue to be cut
Kanye vs the media is modern
Day Willie Linch theory
They hung the most powerful in order
To force fear into the others
They can no longer stop our voice
The Nat Turner movie never made it
Anywhere because it showed slaves revolting
I understand why my god brother
Puff calls his network revolt
If this was 148 years ago I would
Have been more like Harriet or Nat
The universe has a plan i knew
That TMZ would be awesome
We are programmed to always
Talk and fight race
Issues we need to update our conversation
The reason why I brought up
The 400 years point is
Because we can't be mentally imprisoned
For another 400 years
We need free thought now even
The statement was an
Example of free thought It was just an idea
Once again I am being attacked
For presenting new ideas
In school we need to learn how magic Johnson
Built his business not always about the past
Matter fact I've never even heard of a
High school class that presents future ideas
When the media masses and scholars talk about
What started today here's a title
The overground hell road
I freed a thousand slaves I could
Have freed a thousand more
If only they knew they were
Slaves - Harriet Tubman
And ideas on unsettled pain
To make myself clear of course I
Know that slaves did not
Get shackled and put on a boat by free will
My point is for us to have
Stayed in that position even though
The numbers were on our side means
That we were mentally enslaved
They cut out our tongues so
We couldn't communicate to each
Other i will not allow my tongue to be cut
Kanye vs the media is modern
Day Willie Linch theory
They hung the most powerful in order
To force fear into the others
They can no longer stop our voice
The Nat Turner movie never made it
Anywhere because it showed slaves revolting
I understand why my god brother
Puff calls his network revolt
If this was 148 years ago I would
Have been more like Harriet or Nat
The universe has a plan i knew
That TMZ would be awesome
We are programmed to always
Talk and fight race
Issues we need to update our conversation
The reason why I brought up

Because we can't be mentally imprisoned
For another 400 years
