Lyrics You Know It Ain't - SAULT

You Know It Ain't

Yeah, I see your little post, talking 'bout «BLM is my motto»
But you know it ain’t
I see you over by the water cooler on your break talking 'bout
«Tanisha, your mental health is super important to me»
But you know it ain’t
You assume and surmise that educating you is somehow my responsibility
But you know it ain’t
Hundreds of years later, and still, you think your guilt is ours to bear
But you know it ain’t
Yeah, you say our friendship is the most important friendship you’ve ever had
ever
Shoot, you know it ain’t
You say your entire friend group back home is all black
But you know it ain’t
You can sing all the songs word for word, real authentic
But you know it ain’t
You say, «I have a feeling something great is gonna happen for you here»
But you know it ain’t, come on now
That’s nice of you to say though, I guess
As a side note, there are some real ones out there
Disclaimer, this does not apply to you
Y’all know who you are
But for the most part, for everybody else
You can say it’s real, but you know it ain’t
Come on
You out here like, «I swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but
the truth»
But you know you ain’t
Running 'round town with a big ol' booty, talking 'bout «It's real, it’s mine»
But you know it ain’t
You know
Some people say
If you don’t cry
That’s a good plan to get by
If you don’t cry
Then that’s a good plan to get by, by, by, by
You talk the talk, you fake the walk and everybody thinks it’s fine
But you know it ain’t
Na-na, na, na
Na, na, na, na
Na-na, yeah, yeah
And you keep trying and trying, really you’re lying
But you know it ain’t
Acting like you down and out
You know you ain’t
