Bryson Gray - Uncle Tom lyrics
[Bryson Gray - Uncle Tom lyrics]
What defines an Uncle Tom?
I think I figured it out after
Being called an Uncle Tom, coon, sellout
All these different names
Throughout my course of being
A conservative online
Everytime you turn on the news
Someone's mother, black mother
Is cryin' about they black child that
Got killed by another black child
Raised by another black mother
If you point that out, you're an Uncle Tom
When you a black conservative
What type of words you get?
House negro, Uncle Tom, the worst of it
The Democrats sellin' us dreams
And we purchasin'
But rappers makin' tracks about killin'
Blacks and we worship it
Democrats thrive on identity politics
White liberals tellin' us how to live
And we follow it even though we grew up with
Values now are opposite can y'all not tell
They establishin' dominance?
When you disagree, they gotta attack
Why every time I get called racial slurs
It's somebody black?
Why do I get death threats from
People sayin' black lives matter?
Why do people call me brother
Then turn ghost like Casper?
Why you protestin' in streets but
Then you glorify rappers?
Them the same ones in every
Song sayin' they'll crap ya
Sayin' cops killin' us, but man
We killin' us faster
Then the media ignores us
So we goes right past it
The churches becomin' worldly
Ain't no help from the pastors
Burnin' down our own businesses
Who got the matches?
And I gotta blame the media
'cause who got the matches?
They like Ali when he was Clay 'cause
They just go where the cash is
Outrage bring the checks
They get the checks and they cash it
Here comes the shine kings
Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson
And we all want to race
But they just put us in factions
So they can continue they plan
Always patrollin' what happens, uh
When you a black conservative
What type of words you get?
House negro, Uncle Tom, the worst of it
The Democrats sellin' us dreams
And we purchasin'
But rappers makin' tracks about killin'
Blacks and we worship it
If I said we could improve our own community
We can keep more of our children living
We can keep more of
Our neighborhoods, you know, well-kept
Our families intact i'm an Uncle Tom
I think I figured it out after
Being called an Uncle Tom, coon, sellout
All these different names
Throughout my course of being
