Sleeper Cell Vig - Hindsite 2020 Lyrics

Hey, let me talk to him though, someone's got to listen, right
You got your mask on, you got your hands in gloves When I was coming up, that got you labeled a thug
Now we're sitting at tables, no daps, no hugs That's how we show our love so we can rise above
And this upside down, you can't smile or frown Can't swim or drown, you can't leave your town
If you're black or brown, burn it all to the ground For the loss of a crown from a time you weren't around
Don't even make a sound unless you're shouting from rooftops Go to war with the law cuz of the act of a few cops
Above all, they're just patrolling a few blocks The news is hot, they show the noose on Fox
Got your views on lock, got your temperatures up And very are shocked, keep working that clock
Your slave master is calling, you're tripping all over yourselves And it's appalling, claiming it's a movement
But hell, people are stalling,
Tearing down history won't stop you from falling
Ask the Hungarians and toppling Stalin, won them back they freedom
You probably won't believe them, revolutionary angst only bought em more beating
There's really not a difference with a cretin and a heathen The former just dumb enough to let the latter lead them
Question what you're seeing, believe none of what you hear These descended Europeans keep you running in fear
And yeah, races exist, but it's not systemic So let's start a race war in the midst of a pandemic
The only epidemic I see is the disease Of weak shackled sheep scared to rise up off their knees
Fists in the air, they're saying fight the power All your heroes were cowards
Where was all the courage and pride when gangs devoured? Streets and neighborhoods, stealing store goods
Jumping anybody that stood up to these bullies Drive-bys with semi-automatics and fullies
With gang initiations, killings and rapings Destroying and breaking public property
Leaving playgrounds vacant, the disrespect was blatant I saw it myself, I protected me and mine and f*ck everyone else
The most racist people I've come across up in the hood Hate others and one another, if you're doing good
Tearing down history won't stop you from falling Ask the Hungarians if toppling Stalin, won them back they freedom
You probably won't believe them, revolutionary angst only bought them more beatings
There's really not a difference with a Cretin and a heathen The former's just dumb enough to let the latter lead them
Question what you're seeing, believe none of what you hear These descended Europeans keep you running in fear
If you grew up in the hood, then you've heard these terms Crackers is white folks, they all should burn
Pigs are cops, and yeah, f*ck the fuzz If you're Spanish, you're a Chico Amigo just because
You a bitch ass nigga if you follow the rules But skip out in school to sell drugs and you was cool
You was soft or pussy for just wearing glasses And don't you dare be chunky you damn fat bastard
The real G's was the fellas that pulled Heat Shoot up everything in sight over a fool's beef
No sleep for the dealers and crackheads Everyone's a shorty till you called them a black bitch
You think that's it? The hate ran rampant I learned to navigate it, went from slave to master
The racism is the hate we keep in our heart I'm from the same slums you are, what keeps us apart
Is that I been let it go, and I'm ready to grow And people of all colors have called me bro
I don't need an extra hook, this part's too important Stop tearing down boys and start raising up more men
Colors are just bent waveforms meant to blend But stupid motherf*ckers want to segregate again
Divide and conquer, the plan ain't bonkers United we stand, and apart we falter
This 2020 vision got me seeing through the beyond Help the family be strong cause that's the shit I'll be on
