Vibe No More (feat. Constantine)
Y'all should apologize
Smiles don't smile no more
The vibe don't vibe no more
The vibe don't vibe no more
See, the truth is ain't no truth, see
Ain't never been no truth, least not for you and me
But I see, I understand, you wanna believe in something
And see, they know that
So they build a façade, a great wall of nothing
And as long as it's something
You can figuratively touch and feel
Then you walk away content
That what they gave you was real
But check back, they owe you back checks
For more than 400 years
Of us buildin' this place we call America
Off our blood, sweat, and tears
Y'all should apologize
Smiles don't smile no more
The vibe don't vibe no more
The vibe don't vibe no more
My grandfather, my great grandfather
Plus my great-great, and my great-great-great
That even go for my grandmother, and my great grandmother
And my great-great, plus the late, great
Leaders caught up in the Jim Crowe law times
Civil rights raw times
Back then, you look a white man in the face,
It was basically war time
They claim they're believers
But believers ain't that evil, are they
Shackled us up for four centuries
Set us free but still, our bodies
Are locked away, pipeline to prison, the new Jim Crowe
Look at us, we don't smile no more, thought you should know
Y'all should apologize
Smiles don't smile no more
The vibe don't vibe no more
The vibe don't vibe no more
Smiles don't smile no more
The vibe don't vibe no more
The vibe don't vibe no more
See, the truth is ain't no truth, see
Ain't never been no truth, least not for you and me
But I see, I understand, you wanna believe in something
And see, they know that
So they build a façade, a great wall of nothing
And as long as it's something
You can figuratively touch and feel
Then you walk away content
That what they gave you was real
But check back, they owe you back checks
For more than 400 years
Of us buildin' this place we call America
Off our blood, sweat, and tears
Y'all should apologize
Smiles don't smile no more
The vibe don't vibe no more
The vibe don't vibe no more
My grandfather, my great grandfather
Plus my great-great, and my great-great-great
That even go for my grandmother, and my great grandmother
And my great-great, plus the late, great
Leaders caught up in the Jim Crowe law times
Civil rights raw times
Back then, you look a white man in the face,
It was basically war time
They claim they're believers
But believers ain't that evil, are they
Shackled us up for four centuries
Set us free but still, our bodies
Are locked away, pipeline to prison, the new Jim Crowe
Look at us, we don't smile no more, thought you should know
Y'all should apologize
Smiles don't smile no more
The vibe don't vibe no more
The vibe don't vibe no more
