Lyrics

You're gonna get flagged
Sidelined
For telling the truth
You're gonna get flagged
Blackballed
Standing up for your rights
You're gonna get flagged
Never heard from again in the game
For holding up your end
You're gonna get flagged
Completely disappeared
For telling the truth, yeah
From the time I was a little bit of a boy
Same old rules, false regulations them deploy
Can't have one foot in and one foot out the door
Got to be on board with their madness to stay out of them jaws
You're gonna get flagged
For telling the truth
You're gonna get flagged
Standing up for your rights
You're gonna get flagged
For holding up your end
You're gonna get flagged
For telling the truth, yeah
You're gonna get flagged
For telling the truth
You're gonna get flagged
Standing up for your rights
You're gonna get flagged
For holding up your end
You're gonna get flagged
For telling the truth, yeah
Whoa now now, my brothers
From the 60s and 70s Olympics here
Won gold and held up their hand
Great Muhammad Ali decided to take a stand
Do you remember Arthur Ashe?
He dared to talk
And most recently, Colin Kaepernick
He took a knee, decided not to walk
But to take a stand, decided to talk
About the injustice going on
Injustice all around
Injustice going on
They say there's no politics
But there's politics in everything
You see it?
Oh, it's their ball and their bat
It's just where the thing is at
You're gonna get flagged
For telling the truth
You're gonna get flagged
Standing up for your rights
You're gonna get flagged
For holding up your end
You're gonna get flagged
For telling the truth, yeah
So many of them plead to the system
Because they don't want to lose
Their subscription, commission and endorsement
So they play it cool
With nice men until retirement
So they can stay very relevant
Oh, the older I get the more I overstand and see
The politricks that be, that be
Older I get the more I overstand and see
The politricks that be
You're gonna get flagged
Remember Jesse Owens?
For telling the truth
You're gonna get flagged
Joe Louis, yes
Standing up for your rights
You're gonna get flagged
So many others
For holding up your end
You're gonna get flagged
That's how the system run
For telling the truth, yeah
You're gonna get flagged
