Kemba - The New Black Theory Lyrics

I can walk outside now and get shot down (shot down)
If you ever wondered why I'm hostile
You can see the chief sending orders from the top down (top down)
All the civil leaders looking docile
Lord forgive him, maybe it's the dark forces in him
Or the Medicaid cost just hit him
Or the evidence that all our history is getting washed out (washed out)
But everybody taking our style

Who the new black now?
And even though they sold drugs
They showed a young brother love
Who the new black now?
And even though they sold drugs
They showed a young brother love
Who the new black now?
And even though they sold drugs
They showed a young brother love
Who the new black now?
And even though they sold drugs
They showed a young brother love

Now, now, now
The most feared and most imitated
Granddaughter love it, granddaddy hate it
Brands pay top dollar to legally take it
They strip it naked
We recreate it
Bitch this is basic.
This came from love
We made a civilization from mud
We made a culture to break out the hood
All niggas gave us was pistols and drugs, what

Who the new black now?
And even though they sold drugs
They showed a young brother love
Who the new black now?
And even though they sold drugs
They showed a young brother love
Who the new black now?
And even though they sold drugs
They showed a young brother love
Who the new black now?
And even though they sold drugs
They showed a young brother love

College professor gets locked up
Student gets locked up
What is the difference
What am I missing
If we all get looked at as monsters
The guilty and innocent
End up in prison
Why are we divided
Why are we divided
I can't see the logic
Why are we divided
And even though they sold drugs
They showed a young brother love
