Once again this is it, turn it up
Here we go, but this time the rhyme
Gonna ask who did the crime
Then let's get down to the nitty-gritty
I wanna know who picked Wilson's pocket
After he rocket it, fact, he shocked it
Same kinda thing they threw at James
And what did to Redd was a shame
The bigger the Black get, the bigger the feds want
A piece of that booty
Intentional rape system, like we ain't
Payed enough in this bitch, that's why I dissed them
I learned we earned, got no concern
Instead we burned so where the hell is our return?
Plain and simp the system's a pimp
But I refuse to be a ho
Who stole the soul?
Who stole the soul?
Who stole the soul?
Who stole the soul? Yeah
Ain't no different than in South Africa
Over here they'll go
After ya to steal your soul
Like over there they stole our gold
Yo, they say the Black don't know how to act
'Cause we're waitin' for the big payback
But we know it'll never come
That's why I say come and get some
Why when the Black move it, Jack moves out
Come to stay Jack moves away
Ain't we all people?
How the hell can a color be no good to a neighborhood?
Help, straight me out
'Cause my tribe gets a funny vibe
Sayin' I'm wrong for singin' a song
Without solutions all the dancers answer questions
Try to be the best and
Let everybody know before I blow
'Cause I wanna know
What sucker stole the soul?
Who stole the soul?
Who stole the soul?
Who stole the soul?
We choose to use their ways and holidays
Notice some of them are heller days
Invented by those who never repented
For the sins within that killed my kin
That's alright, I try do what a brother does
But I'll never know if you're my cause
That's why I try my best to unite
Damn the rest if they don't like it
Banned from many arenas
Word from the motherland has anybody seen her
Jack was nimble, Jack was quick
Got a question for Jack, ask him
40 acres and a mule Jack
Where is it? Why'd you try to fool the Black?
It wasn't you but you pledge allegiance
To the red, white and blue
Sucker that stole the soul
Here we go, but this time the rhyme
Gonna ask who did the crime
Then let's get down to the nitty-gritty
I wanna know who picked Wilson's pocket
After he rocket it, fact, he shocked it
Same kinda thing they threw at James
And what did to Redd was a shame
The bigger the Black get, the bigger the feds want
A piece of that booty
Intentional rape system, like we ain't
Payed enough in this bitch, that's why I dissed them
I learned we earned, got no concern
Instead we burned so where the hell is our return?
Plain and simp the system's a pimp
But I refuse to be a ho
Who stole the soul?
Who stole the soul?
Who stole the soul?
Who stole the soul? Yeah
Ain't no different than in South Africa
Over here they'll go
After ya to steal your soul
Like over there they stole our gold
Yo, they say the Black don't know how to act
'Cause we're waitin' for the big payback
