W.D.Y.K.I.R

(What you can do is show the truth, want you to keep it real)
(Why don't you keep it real, why don't you)

I watch the news
I sing the blues
I'm just gon keep it real

This more than me
This more than you
Know how my people feel

What you can do
Is show the truth
Want you to keep it real

Why don't you keep it real
Why don't you

I watch the news
I sing the blues
I'm just gon keep it real

This more than me
This more than you
Know how my people feel

What you can do
Is show the truth
Want you to keep it real

Why don't you keep it real
Why don't you
(Uh)

My culture bleed for you
Respect is all we needing
The lies that come from you
Just prove that you conceited

We forced to walk and move
The pain come from our grievance
What we supposed to do
When our words never reaching

Protests call out to you
But violence all you seeing
Justice not just a word
Between the lines the meaning

You just keep hurting us
The words you use deceiving
I wrote this spoken word
So clearly you receive it

You claim to know our worth
Then make us all believers
This message for the birds
And bugs that you've been feeding

The coons and undercovers
That you plant as sleepers
The culture vultures silent
Now's the time to speak up

We going through a storm
We need you like you need us
Together we are strong
The system can't defeat us

Stand tall keep moving on
Don't step back or show weakness
Stand tall keep moving on
Don't step back or show weakness

(My culture bleed for you
Respect is all we needing
The lies that come from you
Just prove that you conceited)

(We forced to walk and move
The pain come from our grievance
What we supposed to do
When our words never reaching)

I watch the news
I sing the blues
I'm just gon keep it real

This more than me
This more than you
Know how my people feel

What you can do
Is show the truth
Want you to keep it real

Why don't you keep it real
Why don't you

I watch the news
I sing the blues
I'm just gon keep it real

This more than me
This more than you
Know how my people feel

What you can do
Is show the truth
Want you to keep it real

Why don't you keep it real
Why don't you

"And I'm better now than I was when you saw that 22 year old undeveloped kid
Running from Sonny Liston

I'm experienced now, professional

Jaws been broke, been knocked down a couple of times
I'm bad!
Been chopping trees
I done something new for this fight"
