State Of The Union 444 // BLK2THEFUTURE Songtext
von Theo Croker feat. Wyclef Jean

Black 2 the future where the uber drives itself
If you really wanna help build generational wealth
The best help is to help the people help themself
We don′t wanna be an album shelved in the shelf
State of the Union let me begin
Justice for all through Spike Lee lens
Revolutionary arms built for the truth
Meaning I can take a lie and expose it in the booth
My DNA trace back to Lagos
Long before narcos chase the Migos
Long beef my twitter feed came with a repost
Fela Kuti on my headphone at the airport
She all in my vinyl man diggin' the selection
Ima renaissance man wanna see the wine section
Basquiat on the wall, what we got in common


We both Haitian but he mixed with Puerto Rican
And this ain′t Jamie Foxx back to the future
It's more super fly BLACK-2-THE-FUTURE
I was raised with the dealers and the killers and the pimps
Where many men end up in the basement with the gimp
Then the preacher said the devil is a lie of events
Then he passed the collection plate for the ten percent
But I rather have Mephistopheles watch my back
Cause I know God ain't comin′ in a trap in the trap
Man it′s all by design man think about it
You don't think they gotta rocket that could hit Los Angeles
Yup Yup Yup
When they pull up with the straps
Snoop in the wheelchair
You gonna swallow the crack
And the fiend and the politicians same in my book
They do whatever it takes for a hit or a vote
And my sis say the whole game rigged on the floor
So she headed out to Cuba like Assata Shakur
Dot dot dot that′s the sound of the Tambo
Serpent in the rainbow
Fake voodoo
Remember Hollywood had us eating watermelon
And the propaganda films were created for perception
They came with armor we came with powder
They came with violence we came with science
They came with cannons we stayed defiant
That's how we got our independence
This ain′t Jamie Foxx Back to the Future
This is more super fly BLACK 2 the future
Let your hair out
She said she love the vibe
Asked me what tribe I'm from
Told her the tribe of Levi
She love Jazz
Say she feelin′ CROKER
That's my shhhh
BLACK 2 THE FUTURE
In this time machine
We were meant to be
Long before we were a thought
In this galaxy
C'est non, C′est non, C′est non C'est non, C′est non, C'est non
C′est non, C'est non, C′est non
Force la c'est nous
C'est non, C′est non, C′est non C'est non, C′est non, C'est non
C′est non, C'est non, C′est non
BLACK 2 THE FUTURE
