Cut From A Different Cloth

Cut From A Different Cloth
Written by Malik Curtis

I'm cut from a different cloth but the love is what I captured
The love is lost now were sucking up to the masses
lost our leaders now we consuming false chapters
I once called myself African but then I heard laughter
I started making jokes calling my friends
The African booty scratcher
It was funny back then but now it's a disaster
I finally came back and realized
this isn't home and were caught in tight capsule
This isn't life and I swear it's not natural
We was brought from the boat 400 years ago
Our ancestors were blind and they didn't know where to go
We were shipped from plantations
A lot of masters were dangerous and straight rapist
Changed our names and then we lost our language
New slaves names on slave printed on slave papers
My last name isn't really Curtis but it was worded

You remember the light skin vs dark skin
Blended in movies Lion King
Lion king that was a good ass movie but see
Mufasa was the light then scar was the Black
A light skin vs darks kin mentality trapped in that
I bet a lot of you 90s babies never realized that
How if you look at black cat and it was supposed to be bad
Brainwashed from the master were not thinking with our jawn
Jail is the new plantation and slavery is still going on
I write these verses till the morn
I gotta be the rebirth of impactful legends
I'm not the greatest in school but I am intelligent
Preaching to the youth that's blind to these words
trust me they are relevant it has to be acknowledged
I don't know the tribe i'm from but I am polished
I'm taught from great minds
I'm taught from great spirits
My roots are from Africa and I don't give a fuck
if you don't want to hear it
I'm cut from a different cloth, i'm cut from a different cloth.
