"The Foundation" Lyrics:
(Ah, yeah)
(Check it, look)
Vigilance
(Verse 1)
Wakin' up to sirens, the same old drum beat
They playin' chess with lives out here in the street (In the street)
See the patterns clear now, etched in the timeline
You focused on one drama, but missin' the gold mine
Another group's fight, that's what keeps the sight off us (Off us)
They pushin' the narrative, makin' us nervous
'Bout who's up next, who's standin' on the block line
But we been the target, since way back, ain't no crime
(Look)
(Verse 2)
The game is subtle, but the history's loud, y'all
Four centuries deep, we been fightin' through the downfall (Downfall)
Livin' in separate lands, ain't that the question?
Why the prophecy's always got us as the next victim's lesson?
When they been sittin' on our necks, since way before the census
Underminin' your struggle, behind the high fences (That's right)
They mess with your health, they touch your land title
Every single dream you hold, they make it vital
(Vital, uh huh)
(Chorus)
They want you separate, they want the blood washed out
But the first step to freedom is knowin' what it's all about (Know your truth)
Stop chasin' the illusion, that proximity to power
That fantasy of whiteness, crumbles in an hour
They want the friction, keep the focus on the filler
But we been the heart of the fight, the undisputed pillar
Don't be the punchline of a joke made to divide
Break the cycle, stand strong, nowhere left to hide.
(Uh!)
(Verse 3/Bridge/Chorus)
Used to be the unity, a bond unbreakable (Unbreakable)
The struggle intertwined, that's undeniably traceable
They were there in the movement, showin' that real love
Part of the liberation, a blessing from above
But the new way's toxic, chasin' a ghost, look
Talkin' 'bout your own kin, readin' from their book
Sayin' you're "better," for tryin' to lighten your hue
Betterin' the race? That's what the oppressor told you! (Told you!)
You gotta look in the mirror, see the strength you possess
Before your heritage fades, a calculated mess
There's a reason for the texture, the nose on your face
You can't erase the history, can't quit the human race!
(Yeah, c'mon)
(Chorus)
They want you separate, they want the blood washed out
But the first step to freedom is knowin' what it's all about (Know your truth)
Stop chasin' the illusion, that proximity to power
That fantasy of whiteness, crumbles in an hour
They want the friction, keep the focus on the filler
But we been the heart of the fight, the undisputed pillar
Don't be the punchline of a joke made to divide
Break the cycle, stand strong, nowhere left to hide.
(That's the liberation)
(Outro)
We ain't next, homie, we the first, the foundation (The foundation)
The main fixation, of this entire nation
So drop the act, stop the chase for a false friend
The power's in the knowledge, right up 'til the end.
(It's on you)
(Word up)
(Break the chain)
