jeff smith - all we know كلمات الأغنية

(verse one)
the media’s famous, for making us dangerous
and we just sustain it, promoting that gang sh-t
our image is tainted, from the pictures they painted
like we can’t disagree without using the stainless
we used hip-hop for more than just entertainment
then corporate america figured out how to tame us
threw us a couple dollars and somehow they trained us
to teach a race how to hate themselves and be brainless
we used to teach the truth to the youth with this language
but currency over integrity’s how they restrained us
now we’re rewarded for exploiting our anger
we’ve been set up for failure but they continue to blame us
they don’t say black without mentioning danger
justify how a racist justice system hangs us
from drugs you import, for guns you manufacture
to jobs that don’t employ, like our lives don’t matter
it’s part of the plan to see ourselves as the enemy
like we’re not all enslaved by white supremacy
pay for education and learn none of our history
you may own a bentley, but that’s not a victory
you may have a good job, making them k!ller figures
but never lose sight on how you’re viewed, you’re still a n-gg- n-gg-
that’s the harsh reality, i feel that we’re all sleep
imagine 50 states recreating black wall street

(hook)
all we know is we’re taught
self esteem relying on what we bought
programmed by the powers that be
created this doubt within me
partic-p-te in my demise
cuz everything we call real is lies
celebrate selling dope, n-gg- take them lives
invest in your oppressor, remain deprived

(verse two)
you can sell dope, to get $200 sneakers
or pop bottles with them hoodrat skeezers
or spend it all on some high grade reefer
and have nothing on a lawyer or the re-up
bad decisions put n-gg-s in prison
letting television determine how they should be living
gotta watch your closest homies, cuz agendas be hidden
listen, f-ck compet-tion, n-gg- play your position
all i know is what i share on these melodies
went from pumping black pride to promoting felonies
now we’re consumed with consuming bullsh-t, but i ain’t condoning it
cuz what we need is discipline, knowledge and ownership
we get a little money and start teasing the have nots
we don’t invest in each other when we hit the jackpot
hate the scholar but praise the n-gg- who’s moving crack rocks
some of us so dumb, we’re instagramming our stash spots
controlled by the phone, n-gg-s always boasting
n-gg-s can’t shut up, n-gg-s always posting
we sell out each other for a fistful of dollars
now we’re cursed for the sins of our fathers
they took our african medallions and replaced em with gats
took the knowledge we were teaching and replaced it with crack
and we live up to their expectation all for a stack
sell our soul for some pennies at that
