the truth - jp reynolds lyrics

muhammed ali:
“like in other words, here’s a ship. people are dancing on the ship. a lotta money is on the ship. lotta food is on the ship. and i cannot integrate on the ship. i cannot have equality on the ship – i’m just in the galley working. and i never could get up and see the captain of the ship. now, all of a sudden the man tells me, ‘say, come on down, ali, outta the galley. i want you to come up here. and here, have something to drink. what do you want?’ and giving me #1 spot. from the galley to thе #1 spot. i say, ‘this ship must be sinking.’”

hook:
(3x)
the truth is so plain to see

spike lee:
“many pеople thought that the moment that president obama put his hand on abraham lincoln’s bible, and took the oath as the president of the united states of america, racism would disappear. abracadabra. hocus pocus. gone. for the so*called “post*racial” era. that is not the case

jon stewart:
“we are definitely not living in a post*racial society, and i can imagine there are a lot of people out there wondering how much of a society we’re living in at all.”

jessica “fm supreme” disu:
“and it’s making me sad. and it’s making me cry actually. ‘cuz how are we gonna make it? we gotta push. i don’t even know how, we just gotta push. i don’t even know what that means. it’s just, gotta keep going and believe that something good is going to come out of this even though i don’t see it. push.”

hook

verse 1:
alias ali – young, black man rumbling
they want me seeing through bars
and not the ones i’m running with
on track to break records, freeing captives
like the one who went harder than any
oppressive system that you coming with
alias isa – jesus christ high
walking with his peace
they try to frame me like a beast
dark skin on me
rock it til’ my heartbeat stop
the truth is i’m more dangerous by not having that heat c*cked
alias nina – not the burner but the singer
thunderstorm bringer
now let that feeling linger
young, black gifted and equipped with
an extensive kinship to the son of god
and you could never ‘clipse it
alias push – pray until something happens
shoutout to primo
we work for the same captain
mt. vernon in the building
i won’t quit from yapping
‘bout these temples built of lies
that we’re so blindly trapped in

bridge:
(2x)
maybe we got these special glasses on
or maybe people like being in massa’s home
it’s comfortable there
ain’t gotta worry ‘bout n0body
‘cuz we’re under the spell
and there’s only time to party

hook
