k-rino - listen up lyrics

so you want me to tell you about the place called america, right?
it’s a very very evil place
so many atrocities have been committed by this nation
and the poor people suffer because of the evil evil dragon
let me tell you
ha ha ha, oh you don’t believe me?

[verse 1]
it’s a population divided over multiple topics
we go through the process, hoping that voting can stop it
systemic poverty, economics holding us hostage
the rich controlling and watching while they choke us for profits
deflection is the tool they use to alter the movement
false conclusions like racism is just an illusion
the american flag — blacks don’t believe in that hype
‘cause we see stars every time we get beat with them stripes
you plottin’ like h-ll every time we try to prevail
now you scared ‘cause people waking up outta the spell
they tell the black man forget what was done to him
they say that just to hide the fact that what was done to blacks was done up unto them
see we been picked to be the victims
so begging the system to treat us equal with them is a contradiction
go and listen to john [?], who worked for nixon
said the war on drugs was meant to lock blacks up and restrict them

[chorus]
listen up
i’ma tell ya what they won’t tell ya
slap ya with the raw truth even if it scare ya
we gotta soldier up and go through the heat
how can you wake up when you don’t even know that ya sleep?

listen up
i’ma tell ya what they won’t tell ya
slap ya with the raw truth even if it scare ya
we gotta soldier up and go through the heat
how can you wake up when you don’t even know that ya sleep?

[verse 2]
“let’s make america great again”—
a coded phrase by racist hateful men
who blame the poor citizens for the state it’s in
but we on top of that, got ‘em covered like calamine
holding up a power fist, yelling, “free palestine”
we focus on shining and chase showbiz
we know every rapper and actor but don’t know what jim crow is
and black people, why you praising the clintons
when they responsible for jailing you and raising your sentence?
but you sellin’ ya little dope ‘cause you live in the slums
but even in the drug industry, they give you the crumbs
the government decided it then they created this environment
supplying it then punish you for selling it or buying it
and i admit that we don’t help our situation
when we contribute knowing it through voluntary partic-p-tion
some of us still chase integration
but that’s what caused the evisceration
you racist but say you a christian nation

[verse 3]
you lost and you don’t see that what you backing is false
how many blacks been bumped off under the flag and the cross?
for years we been advised about the prison business enterprise
in michigan they lied ‘bout the water, committed flinticide
we fight the beast and the ratchet police
from slavery up to now we get attacked in the streets
you can’t compare the holocaust to the blacks you mistreat
because in no time, the jews was right back on their feet
but see in our case, justice wasn’t properly handled
opportunities blocked even when we go through the channels
got some rotten politicians who pretended to help
40 million blacks owning one percent of the wealth
you made ‘em rich and as long as they above you, you trapped
you think they love you ‘cause you can dunk or ‘cause you can rap?
so we stay connected to those who deceived and betrayed us
i wish we loved us the way we love the people who hate us
