lyrics

If what's happening surprises you then don't even say shit to me
Cause all you gotta do is know a little bit of history
And even if you can't read this shouldn't be a mystery
We all playing victims in this system fueled on misery
And wtf they drilling for? Overseas killing more
Brown people living poor, Trying to get a lil more
Maybe start a lil war, Drill into a village shore
And still we're here spilling that shit into where our rivers pour
WTF I swear we're being led by psychopaths
Who sometimes do nice things but mostly just frightful acts
And we're all traumatized, hero's killed and modified
Old codes codified then force fed a lot of lies
And black lives are just one thing that they monetized
Hate to burst your bubbles whites are also getting sodomized
They don't discriminate, fuck anything with hearts and eyes
Not even all blue ones with blonde hair get harmonized
It's mad grey, but it's not a black or white thing
Even Spike Lee will tell you this a do the right thing
Man can be so depraved, every color's enslaved
All inside of a cage and gassed nightly

How long
Until all of our people wake up
Black, white, red, brown and people who make gay love
How Long
Before we get our cake and eat it too
And every freed slave gets their 40 acres and a mule
How long
Until all of our people wake up
Black white red brown and people making gay love
How Long
Before we get our cake and eat it too
And every man, woman and child can see through freedoms view

Vapors, vapors, everybody got 'em
Read the papers the papers, you know we got a problem
To some it's a game and others the only option
The guns keep poppin and there ain't no way to stop em
Them pop n lock old school ways are good and done with
We shock and awe now just to prove we run shit
It's all a spectacle, carefully orchestrated
While American dreams are getting stomped on and faded
It's ridiculous the way that these hypocrites never fought a day
But quick to put a life on the line to call our borders safe
It's lies that they spinning and they doing this prolifically
Then claiming that we're the ones who don't respect the infantry
It's crazy how the fog of war could get so hazy
They ain't even hiding their lies they're so lazy
They're drilling deep and it's never gonna let up
Just pay attention keep your head up

How long
Until all of our people wake up
Black, white, red, brown and people who make gay love
How Long
Before we get our cake and eat it too
And every freed slave gets their 40 acres and a mule
How long
Until all of our people wake up
Black white red brown and people making gay love
How Long
Before we get our cake and eat it too
And every man, woman and child can see through freedoms view
