Facts Not Fiction |
| African-Americans have long been acknowledged for their creativity and genius |
| In theater, dance, music, art and literature |
| But there’s another kind of creative contribution African-Americans have made |
| And that’s the art of invention |
| (Helluva made this beat, baby) |
| My people don’t get they props, it’s not a mystery |
| Bet y’all didn’t know there was a black man named Nearest Green |
| That taught Jack Daniels how to make whiskey |
| They wanna leave us up outta history and keep us hidden |
| Let me break down a few things that we invented |
| There was a black nurse named Marie Brittan Brown, listen |
| She invented the first home security system |
| There’s a long list of winners, not no losers |
| Otis Boykin developed the IBM computer |
| George Washington Carver invented peanut butter, that’s what they say |
| Have you ever had a sandwich called PB&J? |
| There more to us than thuggin', jewelry, twerkin', sports, and entertainment |
| Sellin' dope and murder, funeral arrangements |
| Peep game, listen (Listen), I make all decisions |
| Never play both sides, get money then I’m dippin' (Dippin') |
| Just stay the same, I don’t be switchin' (Switchin', what is it?) |
| All facts, not fiction (All facts) |
| Peep game, listen (Listen), I make all decisions |
| Never play both sides, get money then I’m dippin' (Dippin') |
| Just stay the same, I don’t be switchin' (Switchin', what is it?) |
| All facts, not fiction |
| I listen to rappers that record to feed my soul and give me fuel (Fuel) |
| E-40 lyrics is like homeschool (Homeschool) |
| And here’s another thing they didn’t teach you in history class |
| Did you know that Garrett Augustus Morgan invented the first gas mask? |
| (No) |
| Back then they didn’t treat black people equal |
| He was also granted a patent for the first traffic signal (Oh) |
| God gave me the gift of spit and grabbed the mic |
| The slavemaster didn’t want us to learn how to read and write (For sure) |
| While we talkin' 'bout knockin' a head off |
| We losin' our people to cancer and diabetes, foots cut off (Foots cut off) |
| Stress in my genetics and my family (Family) |
| Got my ancestors' blood, hereditary (Hereditary) |
| Grandma was a Capricorn, born in January ('Ary) |
| Grandpa was a Pisces, he was born in February ('Uary) |
| Married for 60 years, they was cute (Cute) |
| Bernice, Louisiana, the Boot (The Boot) |
| Peep game, listen (Listen), I make all decisions |
| Never play both sides, get money then I’m dippin' (Dippin') |
| Just stay the same, I don’t be switchin' (Switchin', what is it?) |
| All facts, not fiction (All facts) |
| Peep game, listen (Listen), I make all decisions |
| Never play both sides, get money then I’m dippin' (Dippin') |
| Just stay the same, I don’t be switchin' (Switchin', what is it?) |
| All facts, not fiction |
| All facts, all facts, all facts, all facts |
| All facts (All facts, not fiction) |
| All facts, all facts, all facts, all facts |
| All facts (All facts, not fiction) |
| All facts, all facts, all facts, all facts |
| All facts (All facts, not fiction) |
| All facts, all facts, all facts, all facts |
| All facts (All facts, not fiction) |
| Not fiction, not fiction |
| Not fiction (All facts, not fiction), not fiction |
| Not fiction, not fiction |
| Not fiction (All facts, not fiction), not fiction |
| Not fiction, not fiction |
| Not fiction (All facts, not fiction), not fiction |
| Not fiction, not fiction |
| Not fiction (All facts, not fiction) |
| Not fiction (All facts, not fiction) |
