I think you know
Yeah i think you know
Yeah i think you know why you did this to me
I think you know, yeah i think you know
I need need need need n#gg#s to
I need need need need n#gg#s to
I need need need need n#gg#s to
I need need need need n#gg#s to
I need need need need n#gg#s to
I need need need need n#gg#s to wake up
They want a n#gg# to dance
But get pissed when it’s not a prance
They don’t give a f#ck about us
Shadows shadows shadows shadows shadows
Don’t live in light or get put in the gallows
That’s why n#gg#s go live in the shadows
n#gg#s don’t understand
That these shadows are part of the plan
They don’t give a f#ck about us
Shadows shadows shadows shadows shadows
Don’t live in light or get put in the gallows
That’s why n#gg# go live in the shadows
Our lives on the line cause of political agendas
The same ones who gave guns to divisible offenders
Fenced in theoreticals arguing over gender
Gave us february but don’t want us to remember
The trials and tribulations we be facing in this nation
But let’s narrow it down to this now occurring occasion
Curving certain calculations that are serving our population
Cutbacks, renovations
Setbacks, indignation
The shadows
The shadows on the wall
The shadows on the wall, don’t show me love at all
The shadows
The shadows on the wall
The shadows on the wall, don’t show me love at all
Ah sh#t, the sunlight is pouring in
Got hit with an ultra-light beam and now i’m glistening
They want us to be our shadow selves, shadow cells, we so vitamin d deficient it makes us so inefficient, inattentive
It makes us tenets of tentative tempers
And they tempt us with the temperature
No longer an integer, hot and cold
I was cold then but hey i’m hot now
Sane or insane i’ll always be hostile
They want me to say that i’m sane, but sane how
I’m the same hound, three-headed and endowed
I’m no longer in doubt, the knowledge is sprinkled
Put spf on scalp, new tinfoil denial
But n#gg# we in the now, but they still denounce, no nuance in these nouns, sh#t i swear these
Institutional n#gg#s always try to shade us
But i’m sure my shine will always save us
I swear these old white n#gg#s is sad#st
Roll a boulder over the cave they always try to engrave us
Now don’t get me started on the academic, prolific, augmented, holistic teachers of this old business
Ima whole witness, we in a state of hate
I was raised by the state
Mold the minds of the youth
Hold their minds from the truth
And paint they educators as glorified babysitters
They realized they can’t escape slopes so they proposed some scapegoats
They want teachers stay low even though they the ones who gave hope
Just know this is for the teacher who say
You don’t know what i know
You don’t know what i know
You don’t know what i know
You don’t know what i know
If i told you, if i told you what i know
You wouldn’t know me no more
