OCTAVIA |
| Don’t ever let a textbook scare you |
| You the missing piece, OG technology, they stole you |
| Don’t ever let 'em knock the way you talk |
| The language you evolve your natural genius |
| Merch it |
| Oh-oh-oh-oh |
| Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh |
| I’m the truth, I am a fact |
| They lie on me, I have to laugh |
| I write it down, it happens next |
| So be it, see to it |
| (Their science is a-lyin' on me and you |
| That don’t make it true) |
| I’m the truth, I am a fact |
| They lie on me, I have to laugh |
| I write it down, it happens next |
| So be it, see to it |
| (Their science is a-lyin' on me and you |
| That don’t make it true) |
| (Oh-oh-oh-oh |
| Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) |
| It used to be the worst crime to write a line |
| Our great great greats risked their lives, learned letters fireside |
| Like a seat on a bus, like a heel in a march |
| Like we holdin' a torch, it’s our inheritance |
| They tease our pronunciations then try to mimic our greatness |
| We are a precious creation, our black has no imitation |
| Oh-oh-oh-oh |
| Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh |
| I’m the truth, I am a fact |
| They lie on me, I have to laugh |
| I write it down, it happens next |
| So be it, see to it |
| (Their science is a-lyin' on me and you |
| That don’t make it true) |
| I’m the truth, I am a fact |
| They lie on me, I have to laugh |
| I write it down, it happens next |
| So be it, see to it |
| (Their science is a-lyin' on me and you |
| That don’t make it true) |
