HisStory

[Verse 1: Bishop Lamont] Napoleon said, history is a set of lies agreed upon Hello, is this thing on? I'mma lay it out for you like a futon So you can cut it out and use it like a coupon Sometimes I wish, I wasn't wise enough Feelin' like Cee-Lo cause I know too much Wishin' I could rap like the rest of y'all 'Bout just bitches in the club, cars and how I ball The whole album through, every song that's all But no sooner than I think it, hear my conscious call Like naw You gotta see this through You a part of His plan you know what you gotta do But I don't want to But I need to And like it or not I have to Like all the other teachers and soldiers that came before That rose then fell and gave they lives in this war [Hook: x4] My story My glory God took from me now it's His story [Verse 2: Bishop Lamont] They faked the moon landin' To remain first So how far fetched is thinkin' 9-11 was rehearsed Researched Then reworked To make you hate Arbeeb down at the mini-mart Look for the terrorist to come from overseas But they already here in Washington, D.C Scare tactics got us demonizin' Iraq Forfeit our rights for the Patriot Act We hand over our power to stop the villains To the very same bastards that dropped the buildings I ain't Michael Moore Nutty conspirator Hooked on sci-fi, X-Files and Star Wars Maybe common sense ain't that common Maybe it's harder to recognize than to solve the problem Who we fightin'? What we fightin' for? And why the fuck we still over there fightin' more? [Hook: x4] [Verse 3: Bishop Lamont] How can you erase a race entire history? How can you rape the place that was meant for me? How can you erase a race entire history? How can you rape the place that was meant for me? A rhetorical question, historical suppression Calculated, motivated by racist's aggression Thinkin' back as a child in school The lessons were designed as a tool to leave us fooled You don't believe me just take a look Our existence starts as slaves in the history books Used to tell the teacher, "You lyin' to me What about the pharaohs and the dynasties?" The Moor's that explored and conquored the open seas While y'all was wack, fallin' back, thought the world was flat You motherfuckers didn't even have flavor Hidin' behind God on missions, swear you're here to save us [Hook: x4]
