Intro

I got young man dirt under my nails that you'll never know / but I had to get a job and I was checked by federal...

Gonna Tell Ya

Crystal Ball

7 black churches, 9 black victims
1 mismatched flag and a gunman who picked them
1,000 people shot each year by cops, I mean cit’zens
And a whole gaggle of fools who defend it to their chitlins

I mean down to their guts, only give fucks for they believe
Argue til they red in the face, but they just been deceived
Racist terrorism is hard for many to conceive
But now it justifies why black kids die and won’t be retrieved 

You racist, tasteless, faithless, faceless disgraces
Don’t wipe your brow, I’m pointing at all your places
Because there’s no place that’s safe with aces 
No winning hand to give you a free pass, let’s face this

We let this happen, from acquittals to gun clappin’
From friends of racists who didn’t judge til’ it happened
From bubbles in the suburbs to hipsters who try rappin’
Feeling a lot less diplomatic and more like I wanna smack ‘em

BREAK

Marches in Baltimore, marches in New York City
Marches in Missouri, instigators had no pity
When they started a riot, trying to get black folks shot
And the media ate that shit up and didn’t wanna stop

And we all fell for it if we ever turned on our TV
Blamin’ the victim, man the shit became easy
Like she got raped ‘cause her skirt was so short
Nah, sport, you know you not fallin’ for that, it’s seedy

Rampant coverage of black teens fighting in malls
But not one mention of drunken St. Patty’s Day brawls
When white people are violent there’s a media blackout
But when it’s blacks out, pissed off, call ‘em thugs and go after their balls

Only people I know who argue against privilege 
Don’t know any black people and have no friends who lived it
No point of reference except the face in the mirror
If we stopped believing what we’re told, 2 shits we’d give it

BREAK

Man, I was pissed when I wrote this, pissed when I made the beat
I’m pissed while I’m rappin’ and often pissed when I speak
I keep trying to find the best way to reach my own people
All things being equal, that bubble’s made too many of us weak

And I’m looking at my black daughter thinkin’ how can I fix this?
While southern motherfuckers keep making it onto my shit list
How you defending your position when you ain’t got any facts?
Didn’t do any research and didn’t bother to ask

So I’m too aggressive for the liberals, not enough bullets for the rest
But this shit hurts my heart if this shit is really our best
Trust me, I would never try to cut you down, unless…
You’ve bought into that racist bullshit, lord, god bless

And again don’t wipe your brow, I ain’t talkin’ about burnin’ crosses
I’m talking about the people at the top and who the boss is
See old school racism finally found social media
But it’s sophisticated racism that they’ve steadily been feedin’ ya
