Story Behind The Song
Social media like world star hip hop, and facebook are constantly receiving praise from for displaying black on black violence on their websites. It is frustrating as a black man growing up in a rough environment I know what its like to be backed in a corner for the sake of entertainment of blood thirsty people. This song is about me taking out my own personal frustrations on my community across America.
Song Description
This song breaks down some of the history of black slavery and how some of the traits of blacks fighting each other for survival still exists today in the modern world when it doesnt have to. The song speaks of coming together instead of killing other blacks.

Lyrics
Shit is sickening out here B
Man we gotta do better folk
Verse 1
WORLDSTAR when we fighting
White man use ta box us
Now we still in box's
(Slaves)
It's uh endless saga
Blacks turn blue n red
We some crabs in lobsters
That won't help you stay black
(Nah)
You gon loose ya color
Heads get hit wit copper
My folks gettin clobbered
What it mean to stay Black?
Fill yo head wit knowledge
Instead of all them toxins
These street need some washing
Instead of oxy cotton
*hook*
Wicked still picking cotton
(Slaves)
Killa Brotha you uh Possum
(Lord)
Wicked still picking cotton
Viewing life through uh tube
(T.V)
Nuttin new but the shoes
(ballin)
Babies born Pappa's Dieing
(Nite Nite)
Death door see Em knocking
(Creepy knocking w/verb)
Didn't wanna use they noggin
Now they egg Un-hardened
(Crackling eggs)
Brothers wit da stove frying
Talkin all that stove topping
Now they in that soil rotten
(Raven or vulture)
*hook*
Wicked still picking cotton
(Slaves)
Killa Brotha you uh Possum
(Scary)
Wicked still picking cotton
Viewing life through uh tube
(T.v)
Nuttin new but the shoes
(Ballin)
New Nikes Good Night
(Gun shots)
Lock da
Orange Black,
said da Blue White
(Cuff Em)
(Prison sound/bars men chanting at you/ chains)
Where da wicked's reunite
Idolizing Poltergeist
Body's cost uh Fisher Price
(Fishy watery wave, seagul sound)
O You left him wit da fishes right
Monkeys hanging from uh tree
(Monkey,bushes, branches, forest ambience)
They just doing what they see
Give uh damn what you poppin
Then you wonder what's ya problem?
(Molly)
No I ain't got the time to solve em
*hook*
You Wicked's still picking cotton
(Slave)
Killa Brotha you uh Possum
(Scary)
You Wicked still picking cotton
(Slaves)
Viewing life through uh tube
(T.v)
Nuttin new but ya shoes
