[Intro] Man, I ain't stupid Know what y'all mean When y'all be saying that stuff on TV [Verse 1] Some of the things that they do in America's absurd Racists and media got a lot of slick code words Not everybody is able to peep out and discern 'em So in order for you to recognize you first gotta learn 'em When you understand the language, it's easy to figure See when they use the word thug, they really saying, 'nigga' Got they hands on the button and they ready to push 'em When they say terrorists all they really saying is Muslim They get the air and start testing 'em out Border patrol simply means 'keep the Mexicans out' Probation for a murder that don't seem to be right Troubled teen with affluenza, oh that means that he white When cops say stop resisting and you not even moving That's an excuse to justify the brutal tactics they using News media bias that ain't keeping us quiet A black peaceful protest gets described as a riot [Chorus] See we ain't gotta take that though Can't fool me with your language I'ma break that code Time to learn what they mean 'cause you can't make them love ya Don't know what they really saying, let me translate it for ya, bust it up See we ain't gotta take that though Can't fool me with your language I'ma break that code Time to learn what they mean 'cause you can't make them love ya Don't know what they really saying, let me translate it for ya [Verse 2] It's obvious whats happening when you check the comparison Disagree with US policy, you 'anti-American' Listen close, to speak facts is to insult If your organization don't cater to them it's a cult The condition of the country, blame it all on the hood Blacks who do crime are no good, white's misunderstood If you challenge Jewish lies, well that's 'antisemitism' The word 'hate' is used to describe criticism Influential insinuations loaded and coded Disagree with gay lifestyle means you homophobic Yeah I know it, can't wait to see what happens with this Investigation of a killer cop means 'slap on the wrist' We know we ain't have a chance in the first place with 'em Speaking against discrimination is 'reverse racism' We hearin' 'em say it everyday but we ain't knowing it Bring democracy to a country, that means overthrowing it [Chorus] See we ain't gotta take that though Can't fool me with your language I'ma break that code Time to learn what they mean 'cause you can't make them love ya Don't know what they really saying, let me translate it for ya, bust it up See we ain't gotta take that though Can't fool me with your language I'ma break that code Time to learn what they mean 'cause you can't make them love ya Don't know what they really saying, let me translate it for ya [Verse 3] When they say be grateful, that means to 'shut up and behave' These days inmates the new word for slave What about slick talking politicians, remember them? Democrat and republican are actually synonyms When they telling you their building, they really destroying Killings enjoyment, vaccine means poison Am I tripping or paranoid? It may be me A slow learner means your child got ADD So they dope him daily and tell you he crazy If youre poor and unemployed, oh that means that you're lazy Gotta watch 'em 'cause their skills are greater than average If I happen to have a fight, then I'm aggressive and savage They say police are failing, they out for a killing Translate 'suspect', that's a black dude chilling We just wanna talk to you means they probably blast "May I help you?" in the store means 'I'm watching your ass' [Chorus] See we ain't gotta take that though Can't fool me with your language I'ma break that code Time to learn what they mean 'cause you can't make them love ya Don't know what they really saying, let me translate it for ya, bust it up See we ain't gotta take that though Can't fool me with your language I'ma break that code Time to learn what they mean 'cause you can't make them love ya Don't know what they really saying, let me translate it for ya
