All Black Everything Lyrics

Lupe Fiasco

Sometimes you just gotta Go
You would never know if you could ever be If you never try, you would never see Stayed in Africa, we ain't never leave So there were no slaves in our history
Were no slave ships, were no misery Call me crazy, or isn't he See I fell asleep and I had a dream It was all black everything
Uh, and we ain't get exploited White man ain't fearless so he did not destroy it We ain't work for free, see they had to employ it Built it up together so we equally appointed
First 400 years, see we actually enjoyed it Constitution written by the W.E.B. Du Bois Were no reconstructions, civil war got avoided Little Black Sambo grows up to be a lawyer
Extra, extra on the newsstands Black woman voted head of Ku Klux Klan Malcolm Little dies as an old man Martin Luther King read the eulogy for him
Followed by Bill O'Reilly who read from the Quran President Bush sends condolences from Iran Where Fox News reports live That Ahmadinejad wins Mandela Peace Prize
You would never know if you could ever be If you never try, you would never see Stayed in Africa, we ain't never leave So there were no slaves in our history
Were no slave ships, were no misery Call me crazy, or isn't he See I fell asleep and I had a dream It was all black everything
Uh, and it ain't no projects Keepin' it real is not an understood concept Yeah, complexion's not a contest 'Cause racism has no context
Hip-hop ain't got a section called conscious Everybody rappin' like crack never happened Crips never occurred nor bloods to attack them Matter of fact, no hood to attack in
Somalia is a great place to relax in Fred Astaire was the first to do a backspin The Rat Pack was cool group of black men That inspired five white guys called The Jacksons
Eminem fitted in but then again He inspired a black rapper tryna mimic him And that's what really rose up out of Michigan The sign of white rapper by the name of 50 cent
You would never know if you could ever be If you never try, you would never see Stayed in Africa, we ain't never leave So there were no slaves in our history
Were no slave ships, were no misery Call me crazy, or isn't he See I fell asleep and I had a dream It was all black everything
Uh, and I know it's just a fantasy I cordially invite you to ask why can't it be Now we can do nothin' 'bout the past But we can do somethin' about the future that we have
We can make fast or we can make it last Every woman queenin' and every man a kingin' When those color lines come, we can't see between We just close our eyes 'til it's all black everything
You would never know if you could ever be If you never try, you would never see Stayed in Africa, we ain't never leave So there were no slaves in our history
Were no slave ships, were no misery Call me crazy, or isn't he See I fell asleep and I had a dream It was all black everything
You know, all black everything All black everything (All black everything) Yeah, all black everything
