Markus B. - Truth Be Told...

Yeah
You know i like it soulful right
Spoken word
Listen
Truth be told everything you were taught was lies, crooked ways our ancestry was vandalized
Trapped in a maze Where the system ain't for our kind
Against all odds heads held high gripping black pride
Against all eyes filled With Hatred as i pass by, ain't enough darkness in these skies to take my sunshine
Truth be told they don't give a Fuck About our black lives
We statistics and politicians blame us for the high crime
If you only knew of your Greatness its inside, they want you buried or trapped serving fed time
We too blinded by distractions to realize
We’ve been divided and conquered and yet we will rise
We too worried bout being real niggas... foreal nigga
Dumb Shit you doing in these streets gone get you killed nigga
Raise ya seeds, watch 'em grow stay balanced on 10 toes
Or You’ll be dead or caged like every real nigga i know
While these police run the streets shit they the real niggas
Don't think twice or hesitate they aim to kill niggas
Truth be told since way before y'all been killing niggas
Its cold And you bitches bold cause you behind a shield a nigga
And I know your only goal is genocide of my niggas
Truth Be told my brother we genocide our own niggas
The system designed to trap our minds to increase our decline
To Turn our greatness into hatred its making us blind,
To imprison the men so our women raise our sons with no Guide
The boys ain’t to men niggas 30 with a 16 yr olds mind
Relationships aren’t bout love just quick sex and a bye
Baby momma's and daddy’s wishing upon each others demise
Truth be told it was predestined my generation so Reckless
God take the wheel in our lives before we wreck it
I know i sound preachy the lecture of a broken Record
But i hope you get the message ... shit
I don't know if i'm the right one to deliver it to my sisters and Brothers
Cause I'm also caught up in the struggle
I got my vices that need changing too
If I stare hard that's 'cause I'm seeing me as I'm seeing you
But i'ma keep it real my brother (My brother) if we together they can never defeat A Nan 'nother
I'ma keep it real my sister (My sister) if we together they can never defeat a nan 'nother
I'ma keep It real my brother.. truth be told .. when i see my brother I dont see my brother
Just another nigga that’s the same Muthafucking color color color color color color
Pray for me
I feel he got a hold of me
But remember
As much as u or I pray
He hears
He knows
They say the Greatest trick that he ever did was making the world think he didn’t exist
Well take a look at the world
He’s here
But so is my higher power
