Racism Is True

I've never seen a cop
Beat a black, black and blue
I've never seen a black on black gat
Shoot shoot
I've never seen the government
Legislate the rules
But even I know
Racism is true

My homies on da right side
Others get what's left
Segregation divides
Until ain't nothing left
Y'all talking' about unity
But he already left
We gossip behind his back
Cuz really ain't nothing left to say but
Equal opportunity
Ain't worked for me
I've ascertained my position
By actions they affirm for me
Try not to take it personally
But racism's my neighbor
He promised to cut my grass
If I do him a little favor
So

I've never seen a cop
Beat a black, black and blue
I've never seen a black on black gat
Shoot shoot
I've never seen the government
Legislate the rules
But even I know
Racism is true

Black folk seem to need their own universities here
Educated melanin is among my greatest fears
Alongside integrated housing
That's why we gentrify
To protect our local elections
Surreptitiously draw the line
Can't get a housing loan
Cuz being black is a risk
But we were forced into the market
Nobody signed up for this
It was y'all who shackled our wrist
Through da tyranny of da whip
400 years later
We still sunk on da ship
But

I've never seen a cop
Beat a black, black and blue
I've never seen a black on black gat
Shoot shoot
I've never seen the government
Legislate the rules
But even I know
Racism is true

Black lives matter
Because of God's image
Every nation is reflecting
The Glory of God in it
Every people, every tongue
Every single one
Overcome by the blood
Like the flood of Noah's sons
We put Jesus over everything
The calm after the stormy rain
Every institution of man to blame
Every wickedness He bore the shame
So we labor to realize our race
Through the goodness of Amazing Grace
Found in fellowship with the ransomed saints
Of every single race
So

I've never seen a cop
Beat a black, black and blue
I've never seen a black on black gat
Shoot shoot
I've never seen the government
Legislate the rules
But even I know
Racism is true
