KRS-One - Boom Bye Bye lyrics
[KRS-One - Boom Bye Bye lyrics]
Yo blackness, it's not just February
It's everyday from your birth to the cemetery
Revolutionary, they could never ever get me
They couldn't tempt me with the
Maybach or the Bentley
They couldn't shut me up my
Soul is never empty
I've been spitting this game since
By All Means Necessary
They asking for more but giving
So much less today
This is what our ancestors got to say
Yo
Look at the media, they all on some new shit
Black lives matter now
They all want to use it
It's all in the news and the music
What we seeing is the corporate
Co-opting of another black movement
They whole economy, they now about to lose it
How can a black life matter
When you already abused it?
(Black life is the economy)
It's been that way since black
Ancestors were white property
That's why they ain't liking me
I'm not the soldier getting paid
I'm a warrior fighting for free
They type you don't see on TV
The real revolution will not be
Televised for all to see you know me
Let me get my voice on
What they pushing as hip-hop is soft porn
They asking for more but giving less today
This is what the ancestors got to say
Watch them (Watch them) they all tell lie
Run up in their office with that boom bye bye
Social injustice, they the reason why
Hit these corporate thieves with
That boom bye bye
Now you want to come and act like you my guy
I stay woke with that boom bye bye
I'm taking aim with my one third eye
Let my words fly, boom bye bye
It's everyday from your birth to the cemetery
Revolutionary, they could never ever get me
They couldn't tempt me with the
Maybach or the Bentley
They couldn't shut me up my
Soul is never empty
I've been spitting this game since
By All Means Necessary
They asking for more but giving
So much less today
This is what our ancestors got to say
Yo
Look at the media, they all on some new shit
Black lives matter now
They all want to use it
It's all in the news and the music
What we seeing is the corporate
Co-opting of another black movement
They whole economy, they now about to lose it
How can a black life matter
When you already abused it?
(Black life is the economy)
It's been that way since black
Ancestors were white property
That's why they ain't liking me
I'm not the soldier getting paid
I'm a warrior fighting for free
They type you don't see on TV

Televised for all to see you know me
