Powerful |
| They call me slept on, guess I’m the one they dreaming 'bout |
| But when they finally woke, it’ll be my name that they’ll be screaming out |
| Been walking this path from an early age |
| Reading books by the Panthers, building up my rage |
| At age 14, rest soul on ice |
| Spook Who Sat By The Door, read that joint twice |
| Ice Cube, Brotha J and Ice T |
| These are the professors that would set my mind free |
| Fuck the police to the Easton cop killer |
| These were my textbooks, sorry it was not thriller |
| That pop music was filler, no disrespect to Mike |
| But I was fed up and focused, I was ready to fight |
| The power |
| With Flavor Flav and Carl Ridenhour now emerged my energy with Public Enemy for |
| many hours |
| Towers of Babylon that radiate pollution |
| Are the same ones we’ll be using to stream the revolution |
| Facts is facts and the fact is whack is whack |
| Nowadays they need to let the rappers rap |
| Facts is facts and the fact is trap is trap |
| Whip that work, but just let the rappers rap |
| Facts is facts, it’s a fact that you stackin' racks |
| Get your money, but just let the rappers rap |
| Rappers act like rappers but they still singing |
| Autotune and making music with no meaning |
| I stand for the flag, and stand for my people |
| This is not a contradiction, I am not a fan of evil |
| Most of these rappers is evil as these politicians |
| Flexing on their own folks who ain’t even got a pot to piss in |
| Still they loving on the bad guy |
| Try to be the hero, my people tell me to stand by (Stand by) |
| Cause I don’t rap about the coonery |
| I’m Rogue One, standing like Diego in this lunacy |
| Ergo, my Earth go Urso, full circle |
| And we plant seeds amongst the weeds to make the Earth grow |
| Pollocks sprout as I spout this intelligence |
| Horrid in my aura, my intent is of intelligence |
| Radio once meant relevance, now irrelevant |
| It’s all about the playlist, the playing field is levelling |
| If you got better ideas, then I am Edison |
| Electrifying and defining true music medicine |
| Facts is facts and the fact is whack is whack |
| Nowadays they need to let the rappers rap |
| Facts is facts and the fact is trap is trap |
| Whip that work, but just let the rappers rap |
| Facts is facts, it’s a fact that you stackin' racks |
| Get your money, but just let the rappers rap |
| Rappers act like rappers but they still singing |
| Autotune and making music with no meaning |
| We live in this odd paradox right? |
| This juxtaposition of knowing too much and not enough |
| I got facts to quote ya, you just don’t know when to shut up |
| When you can’t un-understand |
| Know too much to leave it alone and not enough to trust the process of seeing |
| too much |
| Art that builds cultures and chants down tyranny’s power |
| And empowers powerless, homie how you gon' change the land with one tenth of |
| your man’s fanbase |
| Facts! |
| Am I too smart to be that dumb or too dumb to be that smart |
| Lol, nevermind, I’ll just rap |
