What They Tell Us

Lyrics

From where perception is king I understand how it represents everything With that said, it's gotta bewholesome Andnot expand uponone as the lonesome It's loathsome whenthe bad is totality It makes outsiders see it as reality Ignore the casualties Always channeling anything involving us that is damaging Represent all of our happenings We're more than one dimension They assume I'm reckless For the pen I'm destined Stuck in the ways they was raised Such a shame when that's how they was trained Believing what the media say in devious ways Reinforced by those who don't seem to be shamed Can they be blamed? Doesn't matter. Those thoughts can shatter anyone in those groups who matter What I've seen is that bias is clearer than visine Blinded by high beams, concerned with their very own high Dreams. They Could care less if you or I Bleed So I only focus on me & my team Chorus (2x) Is that all they could tell us? We were born to be felons, not good for Carnegie Melon? Nah, I ain't buying what they all selling Honestly I think they're all born to be jealous (Verse 2) It's like we lost control of the narrative, spotlight the nefarious. Creating the barriers, I guess cause knowledge to all of them is the scariest Deliberately damaging any kind of advancement in control and management of our own heritage Progression undermined by the most clandestine I'm glad I listened when the R was rapping to me He helped me make sense of all that happened to me As I think of what to make of it, I ask why like Jadakiss I had to do it to uncover the answer to it We don't stand congruent At this point it's revolutionary to move as a family unit I see the reasons for that It's bigger than us, let's keep it to facts Easier said than done, let's keep us intact Engine number 9, back on track We more than the nonsense that they yap Chorus (2x) Is that all they could tell us? We were born to be felons, not good for Carnegie Melon? Nah, I ain't buying what they all selling Honestly I think they're all born to be jealous
