[verse]
We know you be lying all the time,
no we don't believe you we just read between the lines,
just because we smiling and look satisfied at times,
no you didn't trick us we just sick of even trying,
I mean pick a system, all of em denying black inclusion,
the medical injected several melanated humans,
the education never favored faces such as Ruby's,
and justice and even worse a discussion, it's amusing,
but like any abuser,
you look us in the eye and say it'll never happen again like we stupid, lies, upon lies, we figured you out,
the relationship is over we just live in the house,
we don't get in bed wit you we go sleep on the couch,
your overconfidence will supersede your reason to doubt,
yea we gon', dance for you, sing rap and dribble,
as long as we act loyal, they gon' act civil

Ok I get it, gotta keep a smile on they face,
keep the profit margin high, you can travel outer space,
just don't go and build your people up or speak about your race,
cuz if you do we gon find someone to take your place,
okay okay, some people they just want a little taste,
some people they just wanna get away,
yea it's a lot of reasons people break, so we ain't here to judge,
it's typical and played, but we be in the club,
what else is there to do up in this zoo designed for us,
smile for the cameras yea we do it for our cubs,
we know you don't want us but you need us so it's kinda funny,
you like to rain on our parade but we find it sunny away,
and barbecue on any day,
tell Karen she can get a plate,
this hell will never kill us, black can handle anything,
and they dun threw it all at us but the kitchen sink
ya think
