Malcolm X.X.X.

(album: Dying To Live - 2018)

Minister Malcolm, the thing that I thought might be good for starting it off is to talk about one of the most pervasive beliefs in the general society about the Nation of Islam.

Talking to you like talking to myself
'Cause it ain't no getting through to you, with all I swear
And I've been thinking 'bout you since I came to jail
I've tried to reach out to you, but it was to no avail
Guess it ain't nothing else to do when we outgrew each other
We hard down beefing like we never knew each other
Top off the coupe, no bikini, we came out life now
I'm sipping Bellini, living that lifestyle

And that is that it is an organization dedicated to the use of violent means to attain its goals. The question I have is, how true is this, and why do you think it persists in society?

Popping pills, popping pistols, I put my mic down
I almost lost my life that night, I was on a bloodhound
They tryna tell us put the bikes up and the guns down
X was tryna buy a bike and he got gunned down
X was tryna change his life, but he got burned down
X wasn't riding with no pipe so he got gunned down
Listen, do as I say, don't do as I do
Nine out of ten, it ain't gon' end up looking good for you

Have never at any time been guilty of initiating any aggressive acts of violence during the entire 33 years or more that the honorable Elijah Mohammed has been teaching us. The—

If I wasn't rich, you wouldn't be pulling up to my funeral
First they kissing you, hugging you, then they suing you
If it was me, it was you, I'm wondering what you would do
I just pulled up on your mama, homie, she beautiful
Yeah, gotta keep the strap, can't let you, let y'all on me
I got married to the game, she put these racks all on me
Now I got diamonds on my ring, look like a matrimony
First they screaming my name, then file a lawsuit on me
You would hate to see me reach my full potential
You want me robbing, popping Mollies, popping pistols
I'm going to college 'cause to the youngins I'm influential
Thought it was Congress, they ain't know this was a Presidential
They ain't know that I was intellectual
You tryna change your life, but they won't let you
I know they know I'm special, why they playing with me?
You talking jewels, I'm dropping jewels, you see the difference
Copping jewels for your dawgs, they don't appreciate it
Everybody gon' say you fake when you make it
Back of the Maybach with the tints so you don't notice me
When the money bring the fame, you can't even roll in peace
Guess all the pain that I went through had to be the recipe
I stood tall through it all and brought out the best of me
Ayo, dismiss all them charges, that ain't my destiny
Everything I said, I stood on it, I got integrity
G.A., I put my hood on it, I bring the checks with me
You need security by your grave so you can rest in peace
Tired

Charge of violence against us actually stems from the guilt complex that exists in the conscious and subconscious minds of most white people in this country. They know that they've been violent in their brutality against negros and they feel that some day the negro is going to wake up and try and do unto as them as they have done—do unto the whites as the whites have done unto us.
