Banner, David - Magnolia Lyrics
Yeah, ooh
Mighty mighty Magnolia
[David Banner:]
I was sittin' up under these trees
"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 hear it
From Mr. Malcom Garvey and Marley
Then she started to tell me
How she was used in the lynching of blacks
Branch cracked, broke her arms 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 still got the nooses just loose and they 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 jack kawin'
Paintin' pictures of scriptures
I know that ya'll 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
[CeeLo Green:]
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 try to offer ya'll 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
'Cause 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's probably shed a tear and weep
For the skin like mine
For being there behind Confederate lines
Mighty Magnolia
Mighty Magnolia

Big ups to David Banner for the GOD BOX
Already a DAMN Classic!!!!
I told people bout the godbox and they wasn't hearing me. He had to go and release a video to wake y'all ass up.
What's the purpose of this song?
Slavery has no relevance in a person's life unless you are spiritually in bondage.At some point we must "forget those things which are behind us and press foward toward the high calling of God in Christ.
The past is gone we know need to focus our attention on reconciling people back to God in Christ.All that other unfruitful works means nothing.Only what we do for Christ will last. #allthewayin
This is a dope ass song and video. It makes me want to get the album.
I love this!
It’s 2018 bro you sound so you know we are not the true black peoples. Look into the mirror sell outs your not black ant they are not white stop playing and selling out your white because you are the true Aboriginal indigenous nationals of the land by your ancestors and they never called themselves black you are disgraceful misleading and pathetic they came here on slave ships and stole your titles as the true white peoples they still work on the plantations that you know call states your ancestors never called them states like California Texas New york New England New Jersey New Hampshire get it new research the original England etc..... and why you speak the queens English no one is lying to you. You’ve been played and your ego is way to pride full to admit the true even when it’s stirring you in your face occurs you will deny the truth it was once written my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge not for not knowing jesus or allah or god they still believe in angles and whatever BS they are told through media this includes all music and television. I know they will still look in the mirror and say some BS like im a strong black woman or im a strong black man SMH 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♀️ they have eyes 👀 that can see and ears 👂🏿👂🏾👂🏽👂🏼👂🏻 that cant hear good luck trying to be someone your not inheriting there cures because they keep laugh 😂👱🏿♂️👱🏿♀️👱🏾♂️👱🏾♀️👱🏽♀️👱🏽♂️ at you because you have been trick with words of deception its not event your language English comes from the Englishman even the so called president is a immigrant his already told you he’s 3rd generation Irish ☘️ that not American wake you stop being the walking dead and taking on spirits unknown to you just be yourselves there is no money but gold or silver coins your ancestors wrote the constitution thats why they are able to operate here they true white peoples wrote it get it we the people thats you not them remove the veil lift the curses be yourself and not what everyone tells you to be your Aboriginal indigenous American Nationals America is a continent not the United States of America etc that’s the corporate construct many kill fight and destroy there own bloodline for so-called territory created by corporations and are proud of it like BS im from NYC NJ MICHIGAN ETC......you mean you live in a corporation thats not even real no wonder they look at you as a corps your already proud to proclaim your DEAD 💀 teach your children the true they act more like your ancestors than you do they are copy cats and know you act like them they came on slave ship way before 1776 and thats when they declared they’re independence wake up no one can be that stupid stop fight each other and work together and then you will know the truth and the truth will set you free. The USA only exists in a 10 mile radius called Washington DC that there jurisdiction thats all our ancestors left the you’ve been played no need to fight them or the sell outs they are doing there job and they don’t know just as you didn’t know till recently good luck you must be baptized with a new mind and a new heart ❤️ it has nothing to do with water its a mental transformation that will make you so called BORN AGAIN WITH A NEW GOD MIND AND NEW GOD HEART GET IT HE OR SHE WHO HAS EARS LET HIM HEAR

yeeeah..see that BaNnEr !!!!! he always gonna bang on that ass...feeding your mind lyrically...fuck the radio and music industry...the revolution/ evolution ain't suppose to be televised anyway !!!!
The art of creative videos like this is almost extinct. This reminds me of those old ATL Dungeon Family videos.
This depiction of Art is very necessary.
Love the video and the message
soon the women will want a man that has wisdom, (which means a man is before his time and is not aged in health and is more closer to the most high in favor and blessing) not old age as the world has been fooled into believing the white not grey hair obtained from since a yisrealite man has been a boy to his manhood and how it means somerhing above special if they are gentlemen. then watch what the dogs do then...
This is banner after watching black panther
ITS TIME FOR THE WORLD TO. KNOW THAT THE. WHITE. NOT GREY HAIR ON A SOCALLEF YOUNG YISRAELITES MEANS WISDOM AND REVERENCE TO THE MOST HIGH FOR HIM PICKING US TO BE WORTHY OF BEING CALLED AND CHOSEN OF ALL... I LIKE THAT DAVID...SHALUM
Came a long way from "Like a Pimp"
JUST COPPED THIS ALBUM! It stopped my producers block. So funky!
BANNER!
That should be always room for the internal inner-city understanding of Hip Hop... The industry tells these new artist there's no money in that for us actually? So men like Cee Lo Green and David Banner in Hip Hop have to remind us, just like those hip hop artist of yesterday tried to this hip-hop should be universally culturally ever-changing not ever stuck on one fad.. but I will digressed until next time...
1st last last shall be 1st
could be so much more with a better mix and video
my guy must've smashed erykah badu cousin or some shit
We have the exclusive world premiere of David Banner's new music video, "Magnolia" ft. CeeLo Green. Pulled from his 2017 effort The God Box, the track's powerful accompanying visual blends imagery of both Afrofuturism and historical Black experiences as the duo tells stories of racism, violence, and slavery.
REVOLT TV lets get it time to let the truth be told
each one go teach one
now run tell dat
surveliance dat
federaly indite that
persecute dat
AGAIN!
THANK U SO MUCH FOR THE TRUTH THE WHOLE TRUTH N NUTTIN BUT DA TRUTH!!!
Black Consciousness
Remember when Banner said that a human brain is like a computer. Once the master erase the hard drive of a computer and up load a virus better yet a new program. That computer reacts to what it was told to behave to do. Play God Box over the radio you would get a reaction.
