Yeah, ooh
Mighty mighty Magnolia
THX
I was sittin' up under this tree, she was talkin' to me
She said, "Son, do you know who I am? Who I happen to be?"
And I told her, "The Mighty Magnolia that stand tall for the
Shoulders of slaves and soldiers when the days get colder"
I'm so older, but I'm young in my spirit from the blood I'd inherit
From Mr. Malcolm, Garvey, and Marley, then she started to tell me
How she was used in the lynching of blacks
Branch cracked, broke her arms just so his neck wouldn't snap
And if I wouldn't rap, I'd probably meet the same damn fate
From the same damn rope, I'm 'bout the same damn weight
I said, "Wait, man, wait", I still got the nooses
Just loosen and tighten that bitch up when I'm speakin' the truth
They need proof that God exist, so I gave The God Box
It ain't shit hard as this, it ain't shit hard as this
Flick a wrist, I flick a brick, an O, I still get this dough
These bitches know, everywhere we go, it's Mississippi, ho
Peace the dro, this some old outer space ballin', spacecraft callin'
Black George Jetson, Juice City jackjawin'
Charm paintin' pictures of scriptures, I know that y'all missed us
Crackers out here stackin' they army, tryna enlist us
You pissed us off enough to clique up on your ass
The last shall be first, and the first shall be last
No average, no savage, this King Ruler
Billion-dollar freedom fighter and I take it if I gotta, nigga
Cracker
Oh, Mother Magnolia
Your daughters and your sons
Made the sky start cryin'
As they hung lifeless from your arms
Please Mother Magnolia
Although the fruit is strange
It's been such a long time comin'
But will the seasons ever change?
Let me, let me try to offer y'all a whole 'nother perspective really quick
Now, this African American officer was an undercover
Who lost a little brother because of a gang color
Which eventually accelerated the cancer that killed his mother
And he was married to a white woman that they called a nigga lover
And it became a full time job not to kill a nigga
I wonder, does he still consider that he's still a nigga
We've all got choices, and the real recognize what's real and chose
But he's basically still undercover in his civilian clothes
All the right reasons, but he may not even get that love again
His salary's still not enough to be a Republican
Issues of growing up without a dad
Had one too many one night, and forgot his badge
A brawl ensued with a racist cop, didn't stop and ask
'Cause he was sure that he was a nigga when he shot his ass
Oh, Mother Magnolia
Your daughters and your sons
Made the sky start cryin'
As they hung lifeless from your arms
Please Mother Magnolia
Although the fruit is strange
It's been such a long time comin'
But will the seasons ever change?
If a tree could speak
It probably shed a tear and weep
For the skin like mines
For being there behind Confederate lines
Mighty Magnolia
