Lyrics Propaganda - JL

Propaganda

As I was brewing my morning cup of tea
A news reporter story interrupted me
Sat my cup down on the granite counter in front of me
Adjust the volume, tune into the fuckery
Can’t help but react emotionally
Doin' to me is exactly what it’s supposed to be
Show a horror scene and the pandemonium openly
Then I add a president hope to sayin' vote for me
Next, vex read off a grocery
List of side effect of a new prescription of dopamine
It’s clear to see an agenda
Now we’re too old really distractin' us to remember, remember
Man a nigga gon' be a nigga
Had to check the gram and had to pull up the twitter
Lying to my Facebook feed
Upside down smiles up the face who read
While we shuffle through information we given
Someone say it’s truly an indication we livin'
In the last days, I’m sayin' them niggas trippin'
And for the sake of my future children, I pray it isn’t
We watch conflicted an upset
Unshocked as they put up a pic of a suspect
Got up, had to turn off the television set
I can honestly only see one threat
Propaganda
We see on the news
Propaganda
Keeping us confused
Don’t debate with fools
It never do make a difference
You divin' into a pool of opinions
Protestin', signin' petitions
Executive order, it’s hard to listen
Why the new confuse the viewers decisions
Nobody knows who responsible for the killin’s
Unconcerned along as your whip is in new condition
'til they grill up on you tellin' you to to assume the position
What if they labeled you a criminal?
Used the power of media to get rid of you
Every word search, every YouTube video
Website searched, every view you ridiculed
Who you grew up with, place that you eat
Tracked every move, ain’t safe in the street
For the revolutionary, they take when you speak
Any means necessary, all the ways of the meek
Who’s really elected by us to lead?
Say, I may be biased but I do try to believe
Try persuadin' us to abandon the dream
Got me questionin' if america is on my team
I’ma stand with my people with my hands up
All together man, we fuckin' all they plans up
I do understand ain’t none of us got the answer
Feed in to it we apart of the propaganda
Propaganda
We see on the news
Propaganda
Keeping us confused
