(+) Logic - Take It Back
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"
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?
Take it back, take it way back

Take it back, take it way back
Take it way,
way back to about 1990
Shady Grove Hospital
in Rockville, Maryland
7:36 a.m.,
where a biracial baby was born
To a black father
and a white mother
Father that wasn’t there
Addicted to crack cocaine,
alcohol, and various other drugs
Same as his mom
(Way, way back)
So I’m gonna tell you
about that, right?
And I’m gonna tell you
about how
All this young boy ever
wanted was happiness
All he ever wanted was positivity
All he ever wanted to
do was entertain
And this boy went through hell
You gotta understand,
his mother was racist,
which is crazy
'Cause how in the fuck is
you gonna have
All these black babies
with black men but you racist
Like bitch,
that don’t make no sense,
but it is what it is
You know, he grew up,
her callin' him a nigger
The kids at school callin'
him a cracker
Identifying as black,
looking as white
Being told what you can
or can’t be
This kid went through everything
He went through...
He saw narcotics
in the household
Violence, murderers,
drug dealers, he was kidnapped
There was crazy shit that
happened to this kid
And he persevered
while the whole world said
What they said?
Said you wouldn’t be shit!
You ain’t gon' be nothin',
nothin', nothin', nothin'
Nothin', nothin', nothin', nothin',
nothin', nothin', nothing
And I, and he, he said fuck that,
I’ma persevere
And that’s why the message
is always peace,
love and positivity
See, he always saw things
from two sides
He always saw things
from two sides
He always knew
that the message
Everybody was born equal
Regardless of race, religion,
color, creed,
and sexual orientation
He knew that
because he saw that
(Take it back, take it way back
Take it way)
Because he was stripped
and torn down
By his black brothers
and sisters that were uneducated
And that did not know
And he was stripped and
he was torn down
By his white side that did not know
These people that are ignorant
That cannot see the bigger picture
That must fight and kill
and murder each other
But once again,
all he ever wanted to do
Was spread a message
of equality
For every man, woman,
and child
Regardless of race, religion,
color, creed,
and sexual orientation
(Take it back, take it way back
Take it way, way back to the first)
Now imagine this child
growing up
And seeing the craziest shit
Being a part of the craziest shit
Running around
with the wrong people
Running around
with guns and knives
And fighting and stealing and,
and all this
Because he didn’t know,
he didn’t know!
But he knew deep down in
his heart that it wasn’t right
And he knew that
he needed to get away from it
Now I want you to also imagine,
that at 17 years old
This child, okay, leaves home
and gets two jobs
to support himself
Two jobs that he works
in the morning and the evenings
And then he would
then come home
To about eight
or nine hours of sleep
But spend four,
five, six hours of that
Working on music, persevering
Grabbing the remote control
and looking in the mirror
And pretending to see thousands
and thousands
and thousands of people
Just chanting his name
Hoping that it would happen
But the, but the,
but the world said no!
Mothafucka, little mothafucka
no-no, no-no, no-no, no-no
Ya nigga, ya cracka,
ya white boy,
ya black mothafucka
No-no!
(Take it back, take it way back
Take it way, way back to the first)
And he said fuck that
He said peace, love,
and positivity
He said equality for all man
Regardless of race, religion,
color, creed,
and sexual orientation, yeah
Now I want you to also imagine
People telling him that
he did not live this life
“You just a white boy
You ain’t never
experienced that shit
You from Gaithersburg,
Maryland,
nothing happens there
Oh no, no, we know,
we weren’t there
We didn’t live with you,
we didn't live in
your Section 8 household
We didn’t live with
the narcotics and violence
in your household
We just saw it from the outside,
outside, outside, outside
Outside, outside,
outside, outside
And since you white,
you gotta have money, right?”
(Take it back, take it way back
Take it way,
way back to the first black man)
And this young man
persevered in spite
Of what people told him he was,
wasn’t, and would never be
(Take it back, take it way back
Take it way,
way back to the first black)
And that man is here today,
proud
A lover of all human beings
Regardless of race, religion,
color, creed,
sexual orientation, yeah, yeah
And he’s here to say:
Even though
we’re all born and created equal
We are not treated equally
There’s extremists on every side
And you should just do
your best to live life
And let other people believe
whatever they wanna believe
As long as they’re not
hurtin' anybody
You can believe
they’re going to hell
You can believe it’s not right
You can believe
you’re superior, fine
Just stop killing each other
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

Long ago before the white man
