| 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) |
