Lies
The school where I was educated, it should be eviscerated For teaching kids lies and false indoctrination They told me I should fear my government Then they said my 'black' skin means I have sinned They restricted my history solely to A. D. labeled me 'BLACK' falsely They downplayed slavery. They gave me white superheroes, had me worship white deities We don't appreciate the truth when we hear it We only value what we have when we're not near it Now that the truth is easily accessible We embrace lies because they're more sellable But if we ignore the truth for too long It'll rot our souls; it'll rot our bones Why do we keep basing our lives around distractions? We need to stop consuming entertainment and take action It was all lies. I see, I know I can't ignore the truth no more It took me years to see through the cover up Now I cant believe those lies no more The people living in the 'Land Of The Free' who looked a lot like me They weren't allowed to write or read Oh man, the truth gets too big, the deeper I dig Who could believe all this? Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Oh you never heard of that? You never heard of this? What if everything you never heard of didn't exist I mean, what kind of world would be this And what beautiful things would we be missing Or do you prefer to be naïve? Why know anything when you could just believe right? Now, I'm trying to be a dick I'm just saying maybe somebody twisted history up a bit But if we're talking about colors, then our mother, she was black If you just look back Look back, look back, Athena was black Look back, look back, Athena was black It was all lies. I see, I know I can't ignore the truth no more It took me years to see through the cover up Now I cant believe those lies no more (we gonna we gonna go all day)
