Some say the truth will set you free
But where I come from the truth is a matter of perspective Dictated by the elective –members of a governmental Bureaucracy – who use’s the cover of Democracy to Promote their own Hypocrisy And will take the truth – Distort the truth Make it their truth Then teach it to our youth. While using people of our own community To unknowingly cause division And rifts in our unity Which leads to a revision Of our concept of prosperity While sharing the knowledge of or heritage sparingly Have us betraying our own brothers Back talking our own mothers Disrespecting our sisters Calling them bitches and forms of hoe’s All in the name of just getting a little dough Yet under confederate flagged plantations They’ve erased the history of a nation By changing the names and sir names of races Telling them there inferior because the have dark faces Some say the truth will set you free – Well I live in a place where the truth is distorted By mass propaganda – Where the media continues Misrepresent and to slander- People of color as, illiterate, uneducated Criminals- While they’re read the Miranda (rights) And Subliminal – stereotypes Are being fed to the masses Through television and Radio Broadcast’s All in the name of freedom of Speech --- Yet only the media can impeach You, Try and convict you- Impede and restrict you Portray you as a villain Have the world think you should be sentenced Because to them you’re guilty until proven innocent Some say the truth will set you free- Well where I come from if you’re to vocal about the truth Your considered militant and un-couth Rebellious and a victim of abuse Because people know the truth but don’t want to hear the truth That our own people are divided by the color of there skin Where your complexion dictates the status your in Have us paper bag pass’n –straight hair have’n Looking down upon the dark complexion Thinking we’re better than the African selection When to every other race we’re all just Black Some say the truth will set you free- Well my freedom has come at the cost Of racial holocaust- A sense of heritage lost That makes each generation of this nation Forget the purpose of our salvation Where negative reactions –to affirmative actions Cause political distractions that leads to detractions From the reason of this action Which provokes reactions that cause in-action All to the media’s satisfaction |
