Public Enemy - Truth Decay lyrics

Truth decay brush up on your facts
All you gotta do is check them stats
But what sense is a census
When they just miss us
But enlist us to fight for their justice
Truth decay brush up on your facts
All you gotta do is check them stats
But what sense is a census
When they just miss us
But enlist us to fight for their justice

Truth is truth no matter what I think
Knowledge is power but it ain't
If you can't occupy your own body & mind
See thru the blind in this place full a lies
Television tellin lies
To your vision and face
Seems like more of us in prison
Than the workplace gettin gadgets
So it's easy to forget economics
No money not a damn thing funny
Some diggin every minute of it
I'm hatin every second of it driven
Ever since I heard the lie about thanksgiving
While in still thankful through
All that fibbin
The truth dies while lies make a living
History games playing stealing family names
Slave names turned into government names

Truth decay brush up on your facts
All you gotta do is check them stats
But what sense is a census
When they just miss us
But enlist us to fight for their justice
Truth decay brush up on your facts
All you gotta do is check them stats
But what sense is a census
When they just dismiss us
But enlist us to grow and pick their stuff

Truth is truth no matter what I think
I ain't drunk cause I don't drink
Don't smoke or
Laugh at the facts like stupid ass jokes
Or get lost in my own sauce
I check the source i challenge information
Trace it to the boss
Refuse to accept the truth
When it be be lost
Lies in the key of new songs
You think it's old news
How come the young don't know
It ain't new because you never knew
I tell them, it's only new to you
Opinion is what it is and it's up to you
The challenge information
To see if it's true
Never have so many been screwed by so few
You heard im using it for this song too
Damn crooks
Ask a question get some stupid ass looks
Truth don't sell a lotta records or books
To hell with rapes to murder rates
To lyin on a mixtapes i want the truth

Truth decay brush up on your facts
All you gotta do is check them stats
But what sense is a census
When they just miss us
But enlist us to fight for their justice
Truth decay brush up on your facts
All you gotta do is check them stats
But what sense is a census
When they just dismiss us
But enlist us to grow and pick their stuff
