Tekst Utworu

Peace does not come before salvation

And salvation does not come without truth

I will only tell the truth

I will only tell the truth (Incoming!)

Truth, truth, truth, truth

Truth, truth, truth, truth, truth

People wonderin', "Is he woke or just a new slave?"

Old religion, he just covered it with new chains

Choppin' out the church, he ain't real, he fake

He divisive, he don't rep the king, he just want the fame

Aw man, now they actin' like I'm suddenly political

Told me: "Shut my mouth and get my checks from Evangelicals"

Boy, my momma raised me, on Angela and Eldridge

Chuck Berry made it, but the credit went to Elvis

No, you never knew that, no, you think I'm too black

I just think I'm too real, I grew up on 2Pac

You grew up thinkin' that the Panthers was some terrorists

I grew up hearin' how they fed my momma eggs and grits

'Crae, they say you should follow in the steps of king

I say you've forgotten how they shot him in the streets

I ain't really changed, it's the same old rebel

Still a radical, I'm passionate, it's just another level

A-T told me I should fight back

They don't like that (They don't)

Just know if you rock the boat you better have a life raft (What?)

B-J told me I should fight back

They don't like that

Just know if you rock the boat you better have a life raft

I will only tell the truth (Facts)

(People cannot abide a truth

They prefer fantasy over reality) Facts

I will only tell the truth

(I am for truth no matter who tells it)

I will only tell the truth

(I am for justice no matter who it is for or against) (Facts)

Rose up out of the dungeon

I was feelin' haunted

Now I'm bein' hunted

And I'm on a hunnid

Hit the gas, gunning

Skip the past running

Tell 'em they could bring that

If they really want it

I, I'm on the hometeam

You just running with the wrong team

Never take 'em with the heavyweights or

Boy, you'll die and need a little protein

Southside off a Yellowstone, had a ham bone and a white tee

Got a 12-pack of that real talk in the trunk

Tell 'em: "Come find me"

Draped up, dripped out, covered in the blood

Man, I hang where they cripped out, sippin' on the mud

Where they swingin', got the whips out, watch 'em pop trunk

Yeah, I know it's hella dark, but I'm tryna light it up

Now these people swear they on me, sendin' out threats

Told me keep my mouth shut, told me be a Stephin Fetchit

I will not oblige to you colonized way of faith

My Messiah died for the world, not just USA

They say: "Jesus was Conservative"

Tell 'em: "That's a lie"

No, he not a Liberal either if you think I'll choose a side

They say: "'Crae, you so divisive, shouldn't be a black church"

I say: "Do the math, segregation started that first"

Hey, you want unity? Then read a eulogy

Kill the power that exists up under you and over me

I said, you want unity? Then read a eulogy

Kill the power that exists up under you and over me, woo (Facts)

(So reconciliation or conciliation

Requires defrauded parties to be made whole

Not just apologizing for the offense)

I was waitin' for the right time to tell ya how I feel

And, yeah, I know it hurts, but look, it's gon' heal

I waited 'til I was on prime time before I let y'all know

And you prolly won't wanna hear my music no mo'

But it's all good man, I love y'all

Hope you know that I'm black, black

Traded my Smart Car for a Cadillac, can you handle that?

And I love God

I love Jesus, the one out of Nazareth

Not the European with the ultra perm and them soft eyes

And them thin lips

And I'm still hood

Been in the 'burbs for quite some time

But I still might hit the gas station for the

Lemonheads and the pork rinds

And I'm on one

Yeah, 116 been real

Binghamton, Tennessee, from Third Ward to Ceiling Hill

And I live a multiple world, call me a hybrid 'cause I'm so black

Young theologian who educated, but still be at that Chicken Shack, yeah
