Truth

I want this whole country to hear me
I want this message to be clear
I'm tired of slaving for pennies
I'm tired of losing to fear

But I'm afraid of your visions
Of my demise
My kind is ruling the nation
And so you despise me

We do almost everything
Can't cover your eyes
We do almost everything
Can't cover your eyes

We in the music heavy
We in the movies heavy
We in ya ladies heavy
We give em a different daddy

I'm just kidding
I'm ruthless
Let's get it
The truth is...

All of your kids wanna be just like us
All of your businesses powered by us
All your inventions created by us
All of the credit you've stolen from us

You think we forgot it
Cause we been divided
But now that we're guided
You don't want us excited

You don't want a riot
You don't wanna try it no
You don't want a riot
Full of the new negro

These blue suits keep hunting our kind like it's nothing
But vengeance is brewing new Negroes are looming
Now we're wiser
Now your times up
Now we rise up
How? We up size
Now the franchise
Immune to demise
You can't hide

I want this whole country to hear me
I want this message to be clear
I'm tired of slaving for pennies
I'm tired of losing to fear

But I'm afraid of your visions
Of my demise
My kind is ruling the nation
And so you despise me

Some find this amusing
Some find this abusing
But we're far from comedy
Far from infamy
You think you're losing it
We plan on proving it

So fly your flags half mass
Don't brag about the past
Centuries of empty gold glories

It's like we're scared to ask
Denied for years whats lasted
Countries were built on
Countries were built on horror stories

I want this whole country to hear me
I want this message to be clear
I'm tired of slaving for pennies
I'm tired of losing to fear

This is my curse
I root for the villain
I'm not good at pretending
I idolize the struggle
And happy endings disgust me
Cold hearts entice me
