about

Produced by Raddiculous Productions

Whether its the sacrifice that Martin Luther King and many others made for the advancement and progress of this generation or the history Barack Obama made in becoming the first black president, it seems many of us are attempting to denigrate that progress instead of continuing to advance it. Seeing flyer's with MLK's image on it throwing up gang signs with gold chains around his neck this past weekend was it for me.. That frustration led to this track and visual.

lyrics

Martin Luther King didn't die for this
Teenage gangsters loading iron with clips/
Worldstar rappers, girls gone ratchet
Men dressing girls it's like the whole worlds backwards/
Everybody wanna rap man you must be joking
Pregnant girls twerking in the club and they smoking/
Martin Luther King didn't die for this
Your kid starving while you riding in a brand new whip/
My home boy calls the woman he loves a bitch
And the hottest song out in the club is called Shit/
Martin Luther King didn't die for this, to put his face on a flyer
Next dimes with tits/ you still fighting in the club and you almost 36
Gas tank on e, but a fully loaded clip/
You a queens why you chucking them idle finger in your pics
Man Martin Luther king didn't die for this/


Malcolm took about 21 shots to his temple
So the least you could do is try and elevate your mental/
We use to get sprayed the hose in street
In America they would hanging us in the Forrest from a tree/
Emmett Till got killed for whistling at white girl
And killers were found innocent, we victims in a white world/
We went to Vietnam fought in a war with no purpose
Then came home only to be treated like we was worthless/
Many people fought and died on this conquest
So the least we could is continue our peoples progress/
Stripping on Instagram cooning for some likes
Your kids lost in the darkness where they moon for the light/
Martin took fire on the balcony from arms
While living with your moms and refuse to get job/
Sexing multiple partners and now the doc says you sick
Man Martin Luther King didn't die for this....
