Know Your Truth

[Intro]
Yeah-yeah-yeah

[Chorus]
Take a look around, yeah
Yeah, they comin' for you
What you gon' do?
Better know your truth
Take a look around, yeah
Yeah, they comin' for you
Better know your truth
(Take a look around, yeah)

[Post-Chorus]
Where we at today?
I say wipe those tears away
I say my mother, my father
Is this the truth that we know?
I say my brother, my sister
Is this the truth that we know?

[Verse 1]
So tell me where the time went
Heat steady risin'
Changin' the climate
Guns stay firin'
Oh no, oh no, oh no (Boaw-boaw-boaw-boaw)
Yeah, another life gone premature
They shot twice to make sure
Death knockin' on a cell door
They clappin' for the encore
Actin' like they want more
Another one of us hit the floor
Damn
Yeah, they let us all bleed out
Tried to keep the peace while they bred the pedigree out
Man, what?
But they know they failed
'Cause we all still here, my son will live
And what, huh?
And he will prevail
Forever we'll build
Black future is real
(Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)
(Black future is real)

[Chorus]
Take a look around, yeah
Yeah, they comin' for you
What you gon' do?
Better know your truth
Take a look around, yeah
Yeah, they comin' for you
Better know your truth
(Take a look around, yeah)

[Post-Chorus]
Where we at today?
I say wipe those tears away
I say my mother, my father
Is this the truth that we know?
I say my brother, my sister
Is this the truth that we know?

[Verse 2]
'Cause time and time again we've been let down
We just tryna get ahead now
Our head above water
Hope we don't drown
When they loyal to the royal, no respect for the soil
Let alone for you
It was black kings and black queens
Tell me what's happenin'
Facts be unravellin'
The kingdom is rattlin'
So tell me where we go
In this cycle, we're trapped in
And no one can hear you
I stay runnin' on a track 'cause

[Bridge]
I've been up all night
Searchin' for the light
I wonder where I can find it at
I've been up all night (I've been up all night)
Searchin' for the light (Searchin' for the light)
I wonder where I can find it at

[Chorus]
Take a look around, yeah
Yeah, they comin' for you
What you gon' do?
Better know your truth
Take a look around, yeah
Yeah, they comin' for you
Better know your truth
Take a look around, yeah

[Outro]
Take a look around, yeah
Take a look around, yeah
