curt kennedy - monopoly lyrics

[intro: sample & curt kennedy]
“we interrupt our program to bring you this important message.”
“i’m about to talk to the world right now, but the church, you can listen in…”

[verse 1: curt kennedy]
uh, shouts to all the black people that are screaming oppression
quick question, are you one to be with the aggression?
for real, i’m trying to feel you, i’m never just messing
and got a laminated ghetto pass, here’s a suggestion
you gotta be more careful with what you’re professing
it’s hypocritical if we are not learning the lesson
yeah, i know we been held back strategically
but that ain’t the reason we not collegiately
living, some have uprisen
some of us didn’t and some because they weren’t tripping
some would act like proper diction is act white, just kidding
i wish i was but many chose ignorance and subpar living
it’s conditioned, being black is gangsta to be exact
on a scale from bad grades to jail cells and crack
and that’s not even addressing other pertinent facts
why they supposed to feel bad for that?

[hook: curt cennedy]
we don’t got the monopoly on suffering
we can’t demand that everybody should huddle in
i understand that some of this, it is puzzling
but we ain’t got the monopoly on suffering
we ain’t got the monopoly on suffering
we can’t demand that everybody should huddle in
i understand that some of this, it is puzzling
but we ain’t got the monopoly on
[verse 2: curt kennedy]
shouts to all the black people that are doing it big
where ain’t n0body holding you back from how to live
you know the cards ain’t dealt right but still you
did what you gotta do instead of saying they trying to k!ll you
making excuses and claiming that your abuse is systemic, it’s useless
black cinderella bar ’cause i’m saying the shoe fits
now that’s a punch, hayookid
i’m trying to ring the alarm but many of y’all snooze it
acting like we the only ones disenfranchised
and now the whole world should stop, drop, and apologize
like every single white evangelical has apostasized
you must be out your mind, try to think of lobotomized
but i ain’t talking ’bout being sodomized
i know you got some wounds, consider this trying to cauterize
to say that it’s unwise to monopolize
man, everybody suffers, ours is the worst is a lot of lies

[interlude: curt kennedy]
we ain’t got the monopoly on suffering
we ain’t got the monopoly on suffering
there’s a lot of people out there suffering
we don’t got a++

[verse 3: curt kennedy]
shouts to all non+black people, i hear your struggle
your suffering is real though your voice had been muzzled
caught in the crosshairs of victimology
and real racial bias, there’s truth in this dichotomy
but it’s not your truth, so my apology
while arrogantly acting like you should care ’cause it bothers me
to be honest i see error on both sides
and i’m not afraid to say it, never mind, enough about me
so how are you coping, what’s your vibe?
how have you survived this fallen world’s satanic side
reluctantly? or abundantly, when’s the last time that you cried
what was the cause, what you think of america’s divide?
oh, at a loss for words, at times i see why
when you struggle with stuff, who’s the person that you rely on?
tell me where you were born
what you think about going and taking life by the h+rns?
what you think about slavery, race, and stuff that we’re on?
oh for real, you also think that it’s time to move on?
yeah i get it, ’cause racism is biblically favoritism
because we’re offended we stole the story of suffering
plagiarism, essentially, i take it there mentally
and can make those who strongly disagree with me enemies
’cause black people’s suffering, it is real, but also a lot pretend to be
and acting like minimizing yours is the remedy
like what you been through don’t need clemency
my bad, my arrogance is a tendency
but i’mma stop talking, go ‘head and mention the
situation we rapped about earlier, ’cause that tempted me
[outro: samples]
“i’m apache, but that’s really the government’s name because they can’t say ‘tsé hichii indee.'”
“they will tell me how awesome they think it is that i’ve decided to be a part of my culture. and it’s funny to me, it like hits me really weird and i don’t like it, and i didn’t know why at first, but it’s because i haven’t decided to be a part of my culture. i live it every day.”
“i’m more comfortable with the term ‘native,’ divorced from ‘native american.’ um, i know some people use ‘indigenous.’ i, if there is one term i do not like to be called, it is ‘american indian.'”
‘and for me, to be indigenous is to have an intimate and interconnected relationship to a homeland.”
“and that’s really important because land is tied to every aspect of who we are.”
“being native in a city, um, is almost a daily reminder of your people’s erasure, of the fact that people don’t even remember that you’re here and you exist.”
“but what i did encounter was just this preconceived notion that all native americans are dead.”
