THEMPeople - Rags 2 Riches lyrics

[Produced by THEMPEOPLE and LZ] [Hook] [Verse 1: Ziyaad Luceō] Modern Utopia, a White Utopia But the darker your skin, you're considered a phobia Let's tour all the clocks back, let's reminisce our past If we turn far enough, I bet we have a scarred back I guess we still waiting for our acres and a mule When we're used like a tool and masta was so cruel Our shackles still live, they live past the grave Just remember each day, you're the dream of a slave (Slave) [Hook] [Verse 2: THEMPEOPLE] Highway Riding, Picking up mileage Speeding, post 9/11 dreams My mind on perfect Funny, ironic, I've been waking up and living like a king Everything diamond, Everything ego Everything shining Black Kings All of us shinning Black kings (Shine, Shine) [Hook] [Outro: Martin Luther King Jr's “I Have a Dream” Speech]
