letra de abe lincoln - elohin
{produced by hollywood legend productions}
{verse 1: elohin}
they say a leopard don’t change his spots, can’t call it
if a man thirst, lead him to freshwater
show him how to fish if you see that he gets hungry
ignorance reigns where knowledge is not honored
confidence conquered, fighting against the monster
grew up in our hearts, but now he’s living among us
civil rights sons and daughters becoming martyrs
dying for liberty just to change and move forward
hard to know what we go through, what it’s like to be spit on
pulled over, profiled
judged ’cause of my skin tone
black ain’t no syndrome, being dark is not wrong
this ain’t no accident, no joke sitcoms
emanc-p-tion released us into the nation
independence day for us, didn’t erase the racist
got us fighting against each other, dark and the light faces
if men are created equal, then why are we still debating
{hook: calik}
on that abe lincoln, on that abe lincoln
on that abe lincoln, on that abe lincoln
trying to set em free while the boy still breathing
trying to set them free while the boy still breathing
{verse 2: elohin}
looking back at my lifetime, looking back at my life crimes
thank god that i cleaned up, finally in my right mind
gunshots in the night sky, hit the town and i night ride
they grilling me as i ride by
malcolm x would roll over, dr king would do it too
on that abe lincoln, union soldier coming through
modern abolitionist, gettysburg in the booth
glorify the crime rate, homicidal black dude
used to be a slave but, now you’ve been delivered boy
mentally you still acting like you in a prison boy
calling women wh0r-s but look at the big picture boy
could have been your daughter or it could have been your sister boy hope u seeing the process, inferior concepts changing our mindset on how we should dress, how our hair should be processed
ashamed of ourselves, that ain’t nothing but nonsense
{hook: calik}
on that abe lincoln, on that abe lincoln
on that abe lincoln, on that abe lincoln
trying to set em free while the boy still breathing
trying to set em free while the boy still breathing
{verse 3: elohin}
some people might judge me and say i’m sounding racist
but mentally i’m trying to get my people off the slave ship
lead em to the promise land, showing their amazing
you are not inferior you stronger than a nation
we glorified them dope boys, demonize the rapist
glorify the murder that’s a twisted way of thinking
it’s all psychotic ain’t no better way to state it
we bought into the lie pray to god he replace it
{hook: calik}
on that abe lincoln, on that abe lincoln
on that abe lincoln, on that abe lincoln
trying to set em free while the boy still breathing
trying to set em free while the boy still breathing
