Слова
They tell us we free
But we've been socially engineered to self-destruct
So how is that even possible?
Tired of seeing us die
It's time to start fighting for real freedom
It's time to come together and change things
It's on us
We still trapped in a cage, but they tell us we free
Diluting our passion and rage, deterring our destiny
Integration, blindfolded a generation with vision
Mistreated by institutions that thrive off our tuition
They didn't want us to learn, they hid knowledge in books
Tears leaking from my eyes, didn't have the strentgh to look
So how can I talk to my kids and tell them that life is fair?
In all honesty, we'd do better on welfare
But I'm out here trying to do right, morning to night
Demoralized just trying to pay for the lights
Shattered dreams evaporated from the stems of pipes
All these hopes of a new day, crushed by these sirens and lights
NOOK Turner ain't a coward, I was taught to fight
But then George Floyd lost his life
Somebody lied to us, you speak the truth and get murked
That's why Pac, Huey P, and Nipsey Hussle in the dirt
It's amazing
We buy the lie that we free
But all I see is my people lying dead in the streets
It's amazing (so amazing)
It's amazing
It's amazing
We buy the lie that we free
But all I see is my people lying dead in the streets
It's amazing (so amazing)
It's so amazing oooh
We blindfolded by reality TV that ain't reality
Mis-using the youngsters, turning our daughters to casualties
We gotta realize that we still some slaves
Stand in line all night for some goddamn J's (whoa)
And I bet you got something to say
We post on Facebook more than we pray
We lost our way, so let these words marinate
They lied to us trying to hide the fact we great but we are
Visions of stacked bodies is different from what they showed me
Africa millions massacre while we ballin' like Kobe
Locally, we get murdered then pacified with a check
Not realizing we get they money but never gon' get respect
And it's amazing how we get fooled by the hate
They got the hook, so them corporations use us as bait
Until we all start to realize how amazing we are
We blinded by scars that block the reflection of God
It's amazing
We buy the lie that we free
But all I see is my people lying dead in the streets
It's amazing (so amazing)
It's amazing
It's amazing
We buy the lie that we free
But all I see is my people lying dead in the streets
It's amazing (so amazing)
It's so amazing oooh
R.I.P. to everybody that died
Due to this h- a- system
Rest in peace Pickle
Rest in peace to all the fallen soldiers in every city
Around the world
That deal with white supremacy
It's amazing
We buy the lie that we free
But all I see is my people lying dead in the streets
It's amazing (so amazing)
It's amazing
It's amazing
We buy the lie that we free
But all I see is my people lying dead in the streets
It's amazing (so amazing)
It's so amazing oooh
(NOOK Turner)
So, so
So, so
Amazing
