Legal Alien (Remastered 2021) Lyrics

Why are you an alien?

Because I'm treated like a Klingon

I get stabbed in the back as I'm beat on

By these non-natives, they call me a trespasser

I was first on the planet but now I'm last

On the polls of progress

Check the latest figures

The average Black, nothing but a house nigga

In a permanent underclass - yes the lowest

One paycheck away from being the homeless

Kept like a pet, don't bite that white hand that feeds you

That's exactly what I'm gonna do

Straight going for self like a pitbull

Cause I'm so fed up, my stomach is full of these

Lies, stereotypes keep us weak

We're taught how to look, how to act and even speak

By another man, or should I say a true preacher

The devil in uniform, he's posing as teacher

But let's not talk about him, let's talk about us

Cause they won't change so we just must

Take a look around, we're programmed to keep on failin'

In their eyes, we're the legal aliens

What about the ways we alienate each other?

Using the term but rarely do we act as brothers

'Cause brothers are down for each other through all types of grit

Even 400 years on the wrong continent

Speakin' through a bastard language

I came to express to you my mental anguish

Brothers never actin' in accord with the times

It's not just Black on Black crime

But Black on Black racism, Black on Black on jealousness

A Black on another Black's back so he can benefit

One's in a mansion while his cousin's in the street

We all have rhythm so why are we all offbeat?

Trying to compete to get the light man's affections

He only wants to see us in his correction facilities

And take advantage of our abilities

I'm speaking so the next man can see

How the world turns and why society wants to do us in

'Cause I'm a legal alien

I call us legal cause we're allowed to be here

Just as long as we give these laws of the land programmed

To a slant towards light man, specifically the white man

And everywhere you look the Blacks are labelled as crooks

When we're actually objects that got took

A little fact that's never enough mentioned

Inside any type of school system

But the negative is pumped like a curse

Until the Black situation only gets worse

'Cause being ignorant of self, just leads to failure

There's so many facts they don't tell 'ya

You can't always believe what you read, hear, and see

When its benefit is not for you or me

But for them with the power in the light skin

All in all it's a system of racism

And that's what outsiders don't wanna see

They thinkin' Blacks should shut up and be happy

In a land where opportunities come in mobs

Yet we seem to be locked out of decent jobs

Why? - because of indecent education

False facts will never raise the nubian nation

Until we realize all of these troubles, we're locked in

With title of legal aliens
