Information |
Information — can you buy it? |
Can you sell it? |
And if you really knew the truth, would you tell it? |
Just like History class when you’re in school |
You grow up and learn the truth, you’re just a fool |
Ask the Native Americans, Mexicans, and Africans |
The things you lost, would you rather get 'em back again? |
I tried so hard to believe you |
But we all know the things that Europeans do |
Now what if the Asians, Africans, and Indians |
Never taught you nothin', you would still be primitive |
What we all need is self-education |
That’s the only way to educate this nation |
The good old USA |
Built on lies from back in the days |
Great Britain, France, and Spain got bold |
Destroyed the New World lookin' for gold |
Now, information — can you buy it? |
Can you sell it? |
And if you really knew the truth, would you tell it? |
Just like History class when you’re in school |
You grow up and learn the truth, you’re just a fool |
I need some more info |
I don’t really know what happened to my kinfolk |
I know we built the nation with our bare hands |
Helped you fight your wars just like the Indians |
But when he tells you his story, we ain’t in it |
Why you stealin' people’s lands? |
You can’t admit it, can you? |
Tell me why do you lie to little kids |
With your one-sided stories? |
Tell 'em what you did |
Better yet, tell 'em what you didn’t do |
It wasn’t brains, your gun was your pimpin', too |
That’s how you mastered the slave trade |
Shipped from overseas so you could stay paid |
Divide and conquer, everywhere you go |
But by the time we finish school, we barely know the real truth |
Need to stop and take a serious look |
Who wrote these government-issued history books? |
Man, information — can you buy it? |
Can you sell it? |
And if you really knew the truth, would you tell it? |
Just like History class when you’re in school |
You grow up and learn the truth, you’re just a fool |
The European couldn’t do it by himself, y’all |
If the Indians wasn’t here, he woulda left, y’all |
But instead, he gave 'em all his diseases |
Tried to kill 'em, take the land and seize it |
Move into the camps that the Natives built |
Named cities and states but do they say who helped? |
Hell nah, they say Lincoln freed the slaves |
But we ain’t free yet, I still see them days |
Racism ain’t goin' nowhere |
Watch movies about the future, niggas ain’t there |
Maybe one or two — what happened to the rest? |
They tryin' to keep your self esteem low, it’s just a test |
Every man had his own land before the European |
I can’t believe what I’m seein' |
That’s why your pride is on vacation |
Brainwashed a whole nation with the wrong information |
Can you buy it? |
Can you sell it? |
And if you really knew the truth, would you tell it? |
Just like History class when you’re in school |
You grow up and learn the truth, you’re just a fool |
Information, bitch |
Gotta get the right info, baby |
(Gotta get it while the gettin' is good) |
Fuck around, goin' around talkin' 'bout some stupid shit, bitch |
(Dummy) |
