Lyrics

Yeah
They don't erase truth
They delay it
They tried to bury truth called it theory
When it got too real it made 'em weary
Dark past they ain't wanna see it clearly
Now the truth echo back loud yearly
They tried to bury truth call it myth
But the science lined up piece by piece
What you hide in the dark don't cease
It come back to light never rest in peace
Library mind he was diggin' through time
While they rewrote history line after line
Carbon tests melanin coded in bones
He was speakin' truth they was guardin' the throne
Told 'em Kemet wasn't what they claimed it to be
Black roots in the soil that's identity
But the system built walls where the facts couldn't breathe
Turned truth to a debate now they call it belief
See they comfortable when the past disconnected
But uncomfortable when the science corrected
He brought linguistics genetics reflection
Now they act blind to the cross-connection
They ain't hate him for wrong they hated precision
Every proof he dropped broke their whole composition
You can't fake history when it's backed by incision
Now the narrative bleedin' they avoid the incision
He had evidence heavy they had ego and pride
When truth hit the table they just pushed it aside
Said peer review but the peers all tied
To the same old story they been livin' inside
They tried to bury truth called it theory
When it got too real it made 'em weary
Dark past they ain't wanna see it clearly
Now the truth echo back loud yearly
They don't silence noise they silence direction
When knowledge start shiftin' mass perception
He ain't just talk he applied correction
Now they label truth as over-projection
If it shake the system they dismiss the data
Turn facts to opinions then debate it later
If it don't fit the frame they'll erase the painter
Then sell you the canvas same old traitors
He was readin' bones like a coded message
They was readin' power tryin' to keep possession
Every time he proved it they'd change the question
That's not science that's fear in a lab no method
They said where's the proof he brought a collection
They said not enough changed the direction
Truth got standards when it fit their perception
But get real quiet when it bring correction
See the field ain't pure it's influenced and shaped
By whoever got power to control what's safe
So when truth get close they adjust the gate
Now knowledge politicized that's the real debate
They tried to bury truth called it theory
When it got too real it made 'em weary
Dark past they ain't wanna see it clearly
Now the truth echo back loud yearly
He ain't die he just planted a seed
Now the roots grow deeper every time we read
Truth don't rush it just waits then leads
While the lies fall apart from the weight they need
They tried to box him in couldn't contain thought
You can't cage truth when it's deeply taught
Now the same ideas that they once fought
Start showin' up in spaces they once blocked
You can slow truth down but it don't expire
You can dim the light but it spark a fire
They feared the man 'cause the facts was higher
Now the youth pick it up take it even higher
Yeah
They didn't disprove him
They just weren't ready for him
