The Perceptionists - Black Dialogue lyrics
[The Perceptionists - Black Dialogue lyrics]
Yeah, it was written in the books
Of Europeans we were savage
That our history was insignificant
And minds below average
But how can one diminish the work
Of the most imitated culture on this earth
Fast foward to 2000 and now
You see it everywhere you
Look, speech, music, fasion and style
It's black dialogue go ahead kid, try it on
It's much harder to master
Than precision with firearms
Corny niggas switch it up and
Rent it to Viacom
But it was taught to me early on by my mom
Master yourself
For maximum outreach potential
Respect that you get from
That will roll exponential
Preferential treatment, brings us heat when
It only goes to those who
Rock the diamonds and sequins
They invite the kiddies to the video show
To watch the fake titty models
All act like hoes i guessed it goes the more
Ignorance the more press
But everywhere I look I see
Black people with more stress
But does that mean we should
Be shucking and jiving
Fucking and kniving just to keep
Our bank accounts thriving
See I walked the path my elder laid out
Cause acting like a monkey for
White folks is played out
I get my own money, on my own terms
Got heat for everybody
Watch the microphone burn
Let me tell you about my niggas nowadays
Nowadays niggas acting like slaves because
It pays many ways
A, to get the pussy - B, to get the cars
C, the jewels around their neck
But their demise is not farfetched
Step with that Uncle Tom, fucking palm action
And my TV's always off because I
See something truely black then
Aww shit, got a call from Brother Malcolm
Awakening from the grave
He's asking "what the fuck happened"
I said these niggas all want
Homes in the Hamptons
It's Dimension shows so they do
What white man asks them
Throwing money at the screen that
Other brother ain't catching
Yes, hellish foes, and now
They rest in peace, thanks for asking
They rather teach eachother how to fire
Chrome than to buy a home
There's power in the land that we own
You need capital to start
To win the capitalism
Take the money from the sales and
Buy some places for living
Rather black landlords than white
Chalk on the floor
Our mentality's the casualty that's
Keeping us poor
And the poor teach the rich how to work
Rich teach the kids how to invest
Hence we're dying from stress
And the rhythm of the drums
Shines it's own sun my father said, "Son
Think a brighter day is ever gon' come"
I said, "pops, rock a beat box
And I'ma empty out my mind 'cause
I'm around till I drop"
Yo, Martin and Malcolm knew it
Black dialogue grandma Moses drew it
Black dialogue stevie Wonder seen it
Black dialogue many games to steam with
Black dialogue jim Brown, ran with
Black dialogue huey Newton had a plan with
Black dialogue chuck D took a stand for
Black dialogue kRS is the man with
Black dialogue the whole world is after
Black dialogue the whole world is after
Black dialogue the whole world is after
Black dialogue
Of Europeans we were savage
That our history was insignificant
And minds below average
But how can one diminish the work
Of the most imitated culture on this earth
Fast foward to 2000 and now
