Black
[Intro]
Hi blackie, hi hi darkskin negro
Dumb black ass (You black ain't yah?)
Hi, killing your selves n***a
I love to see that
Dumb n***a
Dumb n***a

[Verse 1]
Shit ain't right fighting for rights, Did we all deserve it?, no
Come and n***a serve it, pick it or get hit with whips
I just don't understand, the none colored man
Thanks to those who took a stand still
Justice ain't served and never will be word
Sets us back like rats, slash marks [?] for being black
Abducted taken to who knows where
Chained up with names like Toby
Still don't even know the true origins of our past
Mixed with a little bit of this and that
The always true black, I don't think so
Oprеssed at birth, how much was my true peoplе worth?
Probably fifthy dollars or less, straight stress, madness
But what can I do? I'm just one of the few whos trying to get a point across
No matter if we make it or not, we still at loss
Always loyal to some boss, toss [?] in the trash
If they had their way, they still do
Things like in the past
How long pass
How long will the devil system last?
[Chorus]
How long will the devil system last?
How long will the devil system last?
How long will the devil system last?
How long will the devil system last?
How long will the devil system last?
(You black ain't yah?)

[Verse 2]
Mixing of races, I think that shit is wrong
We don't sing the same song, that shit is wrong
My skin is black and I'm proud of that, can't nonody say I'm wrong
For not being polite to the white
Back in the days during the night they would ignite
Our paths, stringing up little brothers dads
Raping sisters as if it were a sport, no justice in court
Still to this day we still have to pay to live in peace
Will it ever cease (no) racsim is at a crease
But in a minor mold, brothers still do what they told
I feel the wrath of an ass whooping
From the one time if they catch us slipping
Trying to get whats through to us
Head rush when I think about the past
No different from the present
Probably on to the future
I guess I have to get used to
Being the underdog who gets robbed of all humanity
But still the black man in me tell me different
I'm black and heaven sent, that cause devil some grief
Cause devil some grief
[Interlude]
Listen this country has tried to [?] and was supposed to convice us that our past. We have accpeted our probation. To try convice us we accpeted slavery, slavery, slavery, slavery

[Verse 3]
I see things from a black point of view, staying true
Tripping off of what we go through
Ropes around our throat, history was wrote by
The hand of the white man, leaving out their real plan
Insecurity made them kill the black man, the real man
The first people of the planet and, they just couldn't understand
Why were so gifted, through without flaw
So they lay laws to treat n***as like dogs
Make us come when they call out the names they gave us
Only our hopes can save us, hope that one day we'll be free
Man it will never happen til we rest underneth blessed land
So I stand with all my might and fight for what I know is right
Shed light on all the sleepers, the sellouts, the ones who opt out
Trying to fit in but in the end, the devil wins again

[Chorus]
How long will the devil system last?
How long will the devil system last?
How long will the devil system last? (King of the n***as)
How long will the devil system last?
How long will the devil system last? (King of the n***as)
How long will the devil system last?
How long will the devil system last? (King of the n***as)
How long will the devil system last?
How long will the devil system last? (King of the n***as)
How long will the devil system last?
[Outro]
N***a, n***a, n***a, n***a, n***a, n***a, n***a, n***a, n***a
N***a, n***a, n***a, n***a, n***a, n***a, n***a, n***a, n***a
N***a, n***a, n***a, n***a, n***a, n***a, n***a, n***a, n***a
