Take it back, take it way it way, way back to about 1990 Shady Hospital in Rockville, Maryland 7:36 a.m., a biracial baby was born To a black father and a white Father that wasn't Addicted to crack cocaine, alcohol, and other drugs as his mom (Way, way back) So I'm gonna tell you that, right? And I'm gonna you about how All this boy ever wanted was happiness All he ever wanted was All he ever wanted to do was And this boy through hell You understand, his mother was racist, which is crazy 'Cause how in the fuck is you gonna All these black babies with black men but you Like bitch, that don't make no sense, but it is it is You know, he grew up, her callin' him a The kids at school callin' him a Identifying as black, as white Being what you can or can't be This kid went everything He through... He saw narcotics in the Violence, murderers, drug dealers, he was There was crazy shit happened to this kid And he persevered while the world said they said? Said you be shit! You gon' be nothin', nothin', nothin', nothin' Nothin', nothin', nothin', nothin', nothin', nothin', And I, and he, he said fuck that, persevere And that's why the message is peace, love and positivity See, he saw things from two sides He saw things from two sides He always that the message Everybody was equal Regardless of race, religion, color, creed, and orientation He knew because he saw that (Take it back, take it way it way) Because he was stripped and torn By his black brothers and sisters were uneducated And did not know And he was and he was torn down By his white side that did not people that are ignorant That cannot see the bigger That must fight and kill and each other But once again, all he ever to do Was spread a of equality For every man, woman, and of race, religion, color, creed, and sexual orientation (Take it back, take it way Take it way, way to the first) Now this child growing up And seeing the shit Being a of the craziest shit around with the wrong people Running around with guns and And fighting and stealing and, and all he didn't know, he didn't know! But he knew deep down in his that it wasn't right And he knew that he needed to get from it Now I want you to also imagine, that at 17 old child, okay, leaves home and gets two jobs to support himself Two that he works in the morning and the evenings And then he would then come To about eight or hours of sleep But spend four, five, six of that on music, persevering Grabbing the remote control and looking in the And pretending to see thousands and and thousands of people Just chanting his Hoping it would happen But the, but the, but the said no! Mothafucka, mothafucka no-no, no-no, no-no, no-no Ya nigga, ya cracka, ya boy, ya black mothafucka No-no! (Take it back, it way back it way, way back to the first) And he said fuck He peace, love, and positivity He said for all man Regardless of race, religion, color, creed, and sexual orientation, Now I want you to imagine People telling him that he did not live this "You just a boy You ain't never that shit You from Gaithersburg, Maryland, nothing happens Oh no, no, we know, we weren't We didn't with you, we didn't live in your Section 8 household We didn't live with the narcotics and in your household We just saw it the outside, outside, outside, outside Outside, outside, outside, And since you white, you have money, right?" And this young man in spite Of people told him he was, wasn't, and would never be (Take it back, take it way Take it way, way back to the black) And that man is today, proud A of all human beings Regardless of race, religion, color, creed, orientation, yeah, yeah And here to say: though we're all born and created equal We are not treated There's extremists on side And you should just do your best to live And let other people believe whatever they wanna As long as they're not anybody You can believe they're to hell You can believe it's not You can you're superior, fine Just stop killing other
