Lyrics

[Intro] Yeah-yeah-yeah [Chorus] Take a look around, yeah Yeah, they comin' for you What you gon' do? Better know your truth Take a look around, yeah Yeah, they comin' for you Better know your truth (Take a look around, yeah) [Post-Chorus] Where we at today? I say wipe those tears away I say my mother, my father Is this the truth that we know? I say my brother, my sister Is this the truth that we know? [Verse 1] So tell me where the time went Heat steady risin' Changin' the climate Guns stay firin' Oh no, oh no, oh no (Boaw-boaw-boaw-boaw) Yeah, another life gone premature They shot twice to make sure Death knockin' on a cell door They clappin' for the encore Actin' like they want more Another one of us hit the floor Damn Yeah, they let us all bleed out Tried to keep the peace while they bred the pedigree out Man, what? But they know they failed 'Cause we all still here, my son will live And what, huh? And he will prevail Forever we'll build Black future is real (Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah) (Black future is real) [Chorus] Take a look around, yeah Yeah, they comin' for you What you gon' do? Better know your truth Take a look around, yeah Yeah, they comin' for you Better know your truth (Take a look around, yeah) [Post-Chorus] Where we at today? I say wipe those tears away I say my mother, my father Is this the truth that we know? I say my brother, my sister Is this the truth that we know? [Verse 2] 'Cause time and time again we've been let down We just tryna get ahead now Our head above water Hope we don't drown When they loyal to the royal, no respect for the soil Let alone for you It was black kings and black queens Tell me what's happenin' Facts be unravellin' The kingdom is rattlin' So tell me where we go In this cycle, we're trapped in And no one can hear you I stay runnin' on a track 'cause [Bridge] I've been up all night Searchin' for the light I wonder where I can find it at I've been up all night (I've been up all night) Searchin' for the light (Searchin' for the light) I wonder where I can find it at [Chorus] Take a look around, yeah Yeah, they comin' for you What you gon' do? Better know your truth Take a look around, yeah Yeah, they comin' for you Better know your truth Take a look around, yeah [Outro] Take a look around, yeah Take a look around, yeah
