lyrics

he year is 2020 and my mind is still vexed
Greg on the bass no.s.t.r.e.s.s. in effect
World that we living in looking kinda dim
Dim like the lights down in ya mother's den
Blue light red light parties all the same
Fresh J's and a fade trying to get off in the game
All off the path let me get back to the math rules to this theory so don't you dare laugh, but everything is fair when you living in the city, tax sky high they vote you out by committee, it's a thin line like Darnell and Smitty,
Sounds of the Natives,
Words get creative
Bigger than your Thomas
Blue trains couldn't fade us
Catch the locomotion
That's love in her potion
Skin dark like magic
DNA is the fabric


Hook
These are the Notes From Native Sons, yeah, we gonna rock til the day is done, (yeeaaah)

These are the Notes From Native Sons, yeah, we gonna rock til the day is done, (yeeaaah)

These are the Notes From Native Sons, yeah, we gonna rock til the day is done (yeeaaah)

These are the Notes From Native Sons, yeah, we gonna rock til the day is done, (yeeaaah)

Verse 2
I don't know what to say, but here I go freak it
If the papes come, then you'll know I seek it
Young Native Brotha from the 6 one 5,
Build on the mic while the others do divide
Gone are the days of st. Ides and a Mickey
They want the seltzer beer for about $7.50,
Summer lights blazing on cool summer night, sounds from the riverfront make it alright,
A spin through the park candy paint with the vogue's, Girls with smiles and my Bros with the gold, new skypager comes in the latest styles, if you want the best gotta pick it up from Miles, way before a tik tok, Twitter or the gram, if wanted 7 digits had to write it on your hand, damn I miss the days when the Sun did linger,
flex real hard pinky ring on your finger

Hook

Verse 3
Do it for the strong and we do it for the meek,
marching in the, marching in the marching in the streets, all on the plaza Ms. Ida B Wells,
Black and I'm proud and my soul I'll never sale, Black fist raised and I'm doing it well
Just like James Todd and we posting the bail of all the freedom chasers who stay catching the hell power to the people and the truth prevail
