KRS-One - Black Black Black lyrics

This is not the regular, this
Is that boom bap, bap, bap
Some, they call it secular, I
Just call it Black, Black, black
Marcus Garvey, Boukman Dutty, bring
That army back, back, back
Malcolm X and Kwame Ture, this
Is where I'm at, at, at
If you wanna talk to me, talk
To me about Black, Black, black
Haile Selassie The First, Negus Nagast
Let's talk about that, that, that
Kaboom, Nanny Maroon and all the Maroons
Let's talk about that, that, that
The real Underground Railroad, the first
Subway for Black, Black, black
The freedom train begets what you
Bring, getting on track, track, track
Whether justice or injustice
How do you react-act-act?
Can you stand there laughing while they
Shoot us in the back, back, back?
This is what some rappers sound like
Every time they rap, rap, rap
I'm raising up the red and the
Green and the black, black, black
Even with no cops in the
Hood, we still hear, "Click-click
Clack-clack-clack"
I cannot forget my ancestors just
Because I rap, rap, rap
Look at me from top to
Bottom, KRS is Black, Black, black

Get up, get out speak up, speak out
Reach up, reach out this is what Black about
Get up, get out speak up, speak out
Reach up, reach out this is what I rap about
Get up, get out speak up, speak out
Reach up, reach out too many selling out
Get up, get out reach up, reach out
Lift up, lift out get out

Time to ask the question now
Are you really Black, Black, black?
It is not a mystery
We under attack tack tack
If you chatting fuckery, you hold
Our people back, back, back
Time to put aside the fantasy
And deal with fact, fact, fact
This is not the time to be
Talking all that crap, crap, crap
Those that talk that crap, crap, crap are
Those that don't fight back, back, back
You can say what you like, but
Real skill, I never lack, lack, lack
Black is more a consciousness, the way
You think and act, act, act
(Yo)

Get up, get out speak up, speak out
Reach up, reach out this is what Black about
Get up, get out speak up, speak out
Reach up, reach out this is what I rap about
Get up, get out speak up, speak out
Reach up, reach out too many selling out
Get up, get out reach up, reach out
Lift up, lift out get out, lights out
