Didn't Know
Lyrics
You are African-American
And myself and my friends don't care for the company of African-Americans
Quite frankly, we're entertained by you
We're thrilled by your high flying acrobatics on the basketball court
That wonderful sense of rhythm you have
Your animal athleticism
But apart from that, we have no use for you
I mean let's face it do you set a place a place at your dinner table for your pit-bulls
Now Is this keeping it real enough for you
Uni Imma do one take in and out look Imma freestyle this listen uhh
Uhh this is before the racist yeah
This is before the slave ships uhh huh
Before the master was raping
Our past was erased and our pastor was hanging
From the tree for everybody to see
They lynched him, they watched his flesh turn into fire debris
Go get em
Hey, hey I don't know what to say at this part so Imma just keep going
Look, uhh, yo captain planet had me feeling the power was mine
But I guess I'm too dark to have power to shine
I guess never really knew then what power defined
Cause limitations on power is a powerless mind
Ooh, this is like the eulogy for Huey P
Written by Ruby Dee but ministered by Uni-G
Woo hey, hey ho, we gonna take our freedom if you didn't hold on
Uhh This is before the racist
Na before the slave ships
Huh before her master was raping
Her past was erased and her father was hanging
From the tree for everybody to see
They lynched him they watched his flesh turn into fire debris go get em hey
You was a queen, you was a queen, girl hold on
She's on different panoramas like Man-tan in the slammer
No point in changing the channel I guess thats why they can't stand her
Never enough ruby red for the cameras
Throw that naked queen in front of the master now scream action
Now drop it low you black for these figures
Oh and throw another gold chain on that
I mean for that chicken she wit it
She'll drink acidic citric liquid hit the village for a flick from the critic woo
This is like the eulogy for Sandra Bland
But it's a different circumstance
She only want that Berkin bag
Said I'm not a queen I'm bad let the Thotty run
She said all this preaching I'm just tryna got my body done
Ha, Heard you sis I ain't gon knock it
Cause to me baby you are still a goddess
Hey hey ho ho we gonna take our freedom if you didn't know
My people gonna take their freedom if you didn't know
We gonna beat em if you didn't know
We don't need em if you didn't know
Our lives matter if you didn't know
All my Ancestors run through the night
I can see you running when I close my eyes
Ancestors run through the night I hope you make it to the light ooh
My people gonna take their freedom if you didn't know
Run Run Run
We gonna beat em if you didn't know
Run Run Run
We don't need em if you didn't know
Run Run Run
Our lives matter if you didn't know
Run Run Run
All my Ancestors run through the night
Run Run Run
I can see you running when I close my eyes
Run Run Run
Ancestors run through the night
Run Run Run
I hope you make it to the light ooh
Run Run Run
Run Run Run
Run Run Run
Run Run Run
Run Run Run
