lyrics

Hey ay ay ay
Ay ay ay ayyy
Ayyy ayy
And this I know
Hey ay ay ay
Ay ay ay ayyy
Ayyy ayy
And this I know
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
Hey ay ay ay
Ay ay ay ayyy
Ayyy ayy
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la
I don't what they talking about
What spouts out a humans mouth
Saying nothing but talking loud
Those the niggas we most hearing now
Let me say a speech before the crowd

While they got you frisking down the Muslims
White supremacists is running as Republicans
Pro-lifers got a win with abortions
Bout to be more babies
Raised by the government
Black Americans voted Joe Biden in
They wanted to relax our kinks
They'll just use some lie again
I get it they pacify us
While they passing by us
And they use our bias
To make sure that we buyers
We buying it aint we
Getting older ain't easy
I don't think days as d-a-y-s
Think of daze with a ze
When I was younger I loved PE
Got grown got turned onto to PE
Now everything has gone PC
Digitally and socially
I don't know man
I just flow man
Put a carrot on me, I'ma snow man
People cookie cutters
Bring that doe in
Maybe I could live in Japan
Five year olds
Transit alone
Our classrooms are being blown away
While Fox saying that its overblown

Hey ay ay ay
Ay ay ay ayyy
Ayyy ayy
And this I know
Hey ay ay ay
Ay ay ay ayyy
Ayyy ayy
And this I know
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
Hey ay ay ay
Ay ay ay ayyy
Ayyy ayy
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la
I don't what they talking about
What spouts out a humans mouth
Saying nothing but talking loud
Those the niggas we most hearing now
Can you say something before this crowd

So You want to be a millionaire, my bad I mean billionaire 
We'll hello welcome to the slave trade
Cause exploitation is how Fortunes are made
In your device are minerals from very very far away
Your charmed life and mine are the same cause in mines when it swang
Dark people Hang from the bottom of Supply chains
It gets worse like no treatment for a cancer
Like all societies before us we don't have the answers
The cotton gins and plows became huge excavators
Now slaves dig for batteries for phones and pacemakers
The cobalt, the coltan the lithium oh man
I can continue but I know that skip is on the menu
And this is Speech's song that I am grateful I could speak on
In your comings and goings perhaps this you can read on
The truths uncomfortable or so I've been often told
My heart is so conflicted and this I know

Hey ay ay ay
Ay ay ay ayyy
Ayyy ayy
And this I know
Hey ay ay ay
Ay ay ay ayyy
Ayyy ayy
And this I know
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
Hey ay ay ay
Ay ay ay ayyy
Ayyy ayy
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la
I don't what they talking about
What spouts out a humans mouth
Saying nothing but talking loud
Those the niggas we most hearing now
Can you say something before this crowd

Ayo
I'm from the Mill
Parisian nights yo that's a long shot
You could get killed from
January til the ball drop
Maybe you think all people bad
But no they all not
There's too much violence
Hope I'm here
To see it all stop
Pull up in Paris
Well received
Madrid was dope
Ain't wanna leave
Cause round my way it's glock rounds
Black on black in my town
Since that's the facts
I'm not down
Take a stand
Make a change
Here's a tip keep the change
Civilized folk all understand
Apple pie and
Klu Klux Klan
Propaganda
It populates
Let evil win
That's not the case
Soul be free when I leave the Mil
Teens medicate with weed and pills
They not from Chi
But doing drills
When one of y'all die I get the chills
So please escape
The killing fields
This I know you're a queen
This I know you're a king
This I know sis and bro
Your ancestors they built this thing
Sharecropped land
They never shared
Harriet Tubman
Never scared
Nobody said that life is fair
Still can't believe
You took it there

There is no thing as a race
Nature created no races
Man created races
And he had his own reasons for doing it
Now who benefited from this artificial creation
Listen to this
Anyone that profits off of
You being blind
Will never teach you or inspire you
To see
And this I know
And this I know
