elyit - decolonize lyrics

[intro]
let me tell you a little story

[verse 1]
had a white man tell me i talk about race too much
boy shut the f+ck up
the audacity
don’t know if i have the capacity to just swallow down anymore tacitly implied superiority complexes built over generations of social conditioning, supremacy and mendacity
the cowards would rather keep wool on their eyes and it doesn’t come as a surprise
the warning shot was in the fires that burned in the eyes of my ancestors
their wounds are unhealed and festered
still no 40 acres, no mule
the sh+t that they taught us up in school
would make a g+nius of a d+mn fool
revisionist propaganda for those who won’t take a proper gander
at the flaws of the greatest nation
the curses of colonization
the blatant dehumanization
the rotten and hollow foundation
is crumbling what are we waiting for
our heads underwater and wading for millennia
it’s time to rise up

[verse 2]
the darker the berry, the tighter the noose
the culture we carry is stolen and used
for aesthetics and profit + they take what we make then deface and whitewash it
meanwhile we just living life
chance too high that we just might end up in a cell block or a coffin
persecuted because we exist
but insurrectionists get slapped on the wrist?
make it make sense
system working as intended
n+ggas languishing in prison for a plant that’s making millions for the ceos and politicians
twisting bible verses and creating superstitions to indoctrinate people towards hatred and division
they don’t want you to use your intuition
empathy and compassion discouraged
the normalization of brutalization and tribalism that has flourished
in today’s society seems to be driving the needle backwards
the exact words of our leader was we will build back better
let me know how that works
’cause those that hold the power bathe inside the golden showers
h++rding all the wealth and p+ssing on the lowly flowers
we the roots that build the branches that they sn+tch from
the classes that they tax from
the masses they distract from
the truth of the matter is it really and truly don’t matter if the hue of your skin
or who you’re loving or the way you presenting don’t match the societal standard
it’s all a ploy to keep us divided
enriching the rich keep resistance subsided
we got to break free + decolonize our minds
and quick + we almost out of time
