Know Your Truth

[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
