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) |
