Lyrics

Pen touch the paper awaken spirits thats dormant or vacant I hesitate when I breathe I suffocate when not paintin a portrait people can take in achin when I write I bleed My Antebellum is nothin Compared to the pain and sufferin and stressin of the ancestors the best of they strength I covet Nat Turner and Moe revolted and I'm convinced Jesus loved it slave blood was spilt in the public just like his own So call it all as a felony Malcolm, Martin, and Medgar were treasures to heaven seperately evidently, Antebellum was developed to remedy the idea that racism is dead makes it more deadily steadily weeping words with this pen while this paper remedies centuries of oppression and testin a false progression of black folk crack smoke toke the gun tote boom promote by rap note so I wrote... I wrote Antebellum for ya War in the hood ensues put on the armor of God and Harriet Tubman shoes and I see nooses on the news so I don't watch the news my people paid their dues and I just want us to be free Crack the concrete of the ghetto rose grew, Amaru knew well of the beauty hiding in pain Relative sanity level relatives dying unsettle relevance why we insane And i'm no better i'm nothin the storyteller puts up with hallucinations and lack of patience to end pain and sufferin the slaves revolted I'm told that Moses was on it he hold his staff at opponents and flaunt it and shout out from the projects to let my people go it's crack in the shackles black on black nooses around your throat the system acidic sitting observing the city sinning and seeing all of the murder she wrote I wonder if I could tote a pistol and punish the people put this upon us pass heaters to Jesus he see the evil white people brought us and use his name to distort us but still we got peaceful orders King taught us of other sources of weapons I learned my lesson so I I wrote Antebellum for ya.
