Kuango Seilah - The Truth (Short Version) Lyrics

Don't lie to the free

The Truth
Teach it now that's now what you gotta do
The truth
Don't lie to me
Ain't no benefits from slavery
The Truth
Teach it now that's what you gotta do
Teach it now
In all schools and universities
The truth
Don't lie to me
Ain't no benefits from slavery

Confederates fought a war to keep slavery in place
The Union fought to end chattel slavery and unify to the states
Confederates tried to overthrow the constitution led by robert e lee
Don't lie to me
He's no hero, he's a traitor to say the least,
He led a war to keep my ancestors in enslaved in misery
My ancestors fought hard for generations to be free
Juneteenth is a remembrance of unjust captivity and a celebration about being free
Because ain't no benefits from slavery
Slavery caused severe damages and injuries

The truth
Teach it now
That's what you gotta do
The truth
Don't lie to me
Ain't no benefits from slavery
The truth
Teach it now
In all the schools and universities
The truth
Don't lie to me ain't no benefits from slavery

And those books they banned would've made it easy to teach in depth Black history and the in depth history of every race and ethnicity
To teach in depth history about Lgbtq plus,
Would've made it easy for you to teach in depth Women's history

Ain't no benefits from slavery
And ain't no benefits from homophobia

Ain't no benefits from race hate so many people have told ya

Aint no benefits from anti-semitism, racism, classism

Ain't no benefits from ageism ableism sexism
Aint no benefits from oppression
Why didnt you learn this lesson

Aint no benefits from slavery so teach the truth
And teach it now
That's what you gotta do

The truth
Dont lie to me
Ain't no benefits from slavery
The truth
Teach it now to the adults and the youth
The truth
Dont lie to me
Ain't no benefits from slavery
