You Should Know (feat. Helena Casella)

Sometimes it is And sometimes it isn't Figuring it out While i'm dealin with the "-isms" My ears tingle My heart rhythm Is livid, imma act up Cause of a doggone dog whistle I'mma keep my mind cool though Peep the game ain't a damn thing new bro Nah Shit been goin for a while But we still alive Despite this global genocide We got fam across the globe That we don't even know Cause our people got sold Yeah, still we ride through the pain That'll mess up your brain And we still maintain Yeah And all the fam in the motherland Crossing borders gettin smuggled like contraband It's a damn fucking shame And I can't explain All these locks to the gate Uhh Cause If you look behind the walls Glitter gold yeah you know how they ball Talkin' bout morality and law Using the same breath As a tool to rob You should know You're valuable Roots and branches bend omni-directional Charge your inner most Minerals Everywhere you land You'll be the one that glows Tryna keepin movin but the pace slow Gotta bid my time for the payload (cha-ching) Potholes obstacles on the road Make me swerve and skurt Tryna make me hit the dirt Hard to keep it cool when my mind vexed Gotta skip checkers gotta think chess Keep my eyes on the deck So a brotha can check What the deal and where to move next to Aint gon lie I know the pain we feel Can make us lose Touch with truth That is our friend Don't let your foes give your mind a bend Melanated child with the eyes bright Gotta close your eyes for the gaslight So you won't internalise the hate That permeates the world And will change your fate People hurting, hurting people When will the cycle end? Imagine all the talent That left this earth untapped You should know You're valuable Roots and branches bend omni-directional Charge your inner most Minerals Everywhere you land You'll be the one that glows
