[Chorus]
GmTake it back, take it way back
DmTake it way, way back to the first black man
GmLong ago before the white man
DmCould paint the black man with a gun in his hand
GmTake it back, take it way back
DmTake it way, way back to the first white man
GmAt the very moment when they looked around and said
Dm"Fuck it, I’ma steal this land"
GmTake it back, take it way back
DmTake it way way back to the first black man
GmLong ago before the white man
DmCould paint the black man with a gun in his hand
GmTake it back, take it way back
DmTake it way, way back to the first white man
GmAt the very moment when they looked around and said
Dm"Fuck it, I’ma steal this land"
[Verse 1]
GmEverybody wanna tell me what I am, what I am not
Dm"You ain't black, you a mothafuckin' white boy
GmShut ya mouth, do it right boy, a'ight boy?
DmMan, why you such a hype boy?"
Gm"Why you always talk about being black?
DmSkin too white, nigga fuck that"
GmEverything you talk about, cut that
GmThat door you trying to open, you could shut that
DmGrip the gat, yeah that’s how I’ma buck back
GmTell me what I am and what I know now
DmAll this prejudice has got to go
GmLife is moving fast, it need to slow down
DmCome and see me when I am in yo' town
GmPractice what we preach before it go down
DmPractice what we preach before it go
GmYes, I got the gift to gab fo sho
DmWill I have to get the gat? No, no
GmYes, I got to gift to gab fo sho
DmBut will have to get the gat, get the gat, get the, get the?
GmMasta deep down inside of me
DmThe plantation deep down inside of me
GmEverybody fuck like sodomy
Dm'Cause one or the other what it gotta be
GmTell me why my momma gotta lie to me
DmUnity for everyone that lied to me
GmPeace on Earth what I try to be
DmI just wanna spread the message of equality
GmAnd yes, I got to gift to gab fo sho
DmWill I have to get the gat? No, no
GmYes, I got to gift to gab fo sho
DmBut will have to get the gat, get the gat, get the, get the gat?
[Chorus]
GmTake it back, take it way back
DmTake it way, way back to the first black man
GmLong ago before the white man
DmCould paint the black man with a gun in his hand
GmTake it back, take it way back
DmTake it way, way back to the first white man
GmAt the very moment when they looked around and said
Dm"Fuck it, I’ma steal this land"
GmTake it back, take it way back
DmTake it way way back to the first black man
GmLong ago before the white man
DmCould paint the black man with a gun in his hand
GmTake it back, take it way back
DmTake it way way back to the first white man

[Chorus]

Take it back, take it way back

Take it way, way back to the first black man

Long ago before the white man

Could paint the black man with a gun in his hand

Take it back, take it way back

Take it way, way back to the first white man

At the very moment when they looked around and said

"Fuck it, I’ma steal this land"

Take it back, take it way back

Take it way way back to the first black man

Long ago before the white man

Could paint the black man with a gun in his hand

Take it back, take it way back

Take it way, way back to the first white man

At the very moment when they looked around and said

"Fuck it, I’ma steal this land"

[Verse 1]

Everybody wanna tell me what I am, what I am not

"You ain't black, you a mothafuckin' white boy

Shut ya mouth, do it right boy, a'ight boy?

Man, why you such a hype boy?"

"Why you always talk about being black?

Skin too white, nigga fuck that"

Everything you talk about, cut that

That door you trying to open, you could shut that

Grip the gat, yeah that’s how I’ma buck back

Tell me what I am and what I know now

All this prejudice has got to go

Life is moving fast, it need to slow down

Come and see me when I am in yo' town

Practice what we preach before it go down

Practice what we preach before it go

Yes, I got the gift to gab fo sho

Will I have to get the gat? No, no

Yes, I got to gift to gab fo sho

But will have to get the gat, get the gat, get the, get the?

Masta deep down inside of me

The plantation deep down inside of me

Everybody fuck like sodomy

'Cause one or the other what it gotta be

Tell me why my momma gotta lie to me

Unity for everyone that lied to me

Peace on Earth what I try to be

I just wanna spread the message of equality

And yes, I got to gift to gab fo sho

Will I have to get the gat? No, no

Yes, I got to gift to gab fo sho

But will have to get the gat, get the gat, get the, get the gat?

[Chorus]

Take it back, take it way back

Take it way, way back to the first black man

Long ago before the white man

Could paint the black man with a gun in his hand

Take it back, take it way back

Take it way, way back to the first white man

At the very moment when they looked around and said

"Fuck it, I’ma steal this land"

Take it back, take it way back

Take it way way back to the first black man

Long ago before the white man

Could paint the black man with a gun in his hand

Take it back, take it way back

Take it way way back to the first white man

At the very moment when they looked around and said

"Fuck it, I’ma steal this land"
