Tekst piosenki
[Hook: John Legend]
They say “What's happening?”
We say the facts and then, they lie
We coming back for them
They might say that they don't know
They say, they say, they don't know
[Verse I: RÄLÏ]
They say
“How could this have offended me?
I take em to the beginning
Before the slave trade
Before white supremacy
Before they lie to distribute me
And limit me from my ethnicity
So much drama now
Crooked cops kill our brothers
No karma now
Young brothers that define struggle
With gun hugging
Bullet piercing
Lung busting
And the tongue is a two way sword
So after all that tongue cutting
Niggas' bodies prolly get to long jumping on the pavement
Nowadays we think that none of it makes sense
And since we black we makes raps and slang crack for government agents
I speak for my people cause our people need a leader
Hey tell me where was FEMA when Haiti had a Katrina?
In the name of patience, we take shit
So when they lie to our faces
They say this
[Hook: John Legend]
They say “What's happening?”
We say the facts and then, they lie
We coming back for them
They might say that they don't know
They say, they say, they don't know
[Verse II: RÄLÏ]
Mind bending
Time spending
Deny the pain of truth
Let the lies fill them holes
So I'm digging, but Shia Labueof
I wanna fight cause I ain't humble enough to take the criticism
From politicians
That knock me for my diligence
But honored by my discipline
And profit off of ignorance
Hear me? You ain't listening
Feel me? You ain't intimate
I can be the genesis for underprivileged citizens
Uh… isn't that a little but drastic
You're too young to be talking about getting active
You just stick to putting balls in baskets
You should stick to being a rapper
You should try being an actor
Better yet, have you thought of trying gymnastics?
No disrespect; have you thought of shutting yo ass up?
Your negativity's bringing generations of bad luck
It's mad dumb
How we can sit around excited bout 50 Tyson
Watch American Idol while millions of us are dying
Government's still lying about the drugs supplied
You tryna stay alive
And work a 9 to 5
While, they say what's happening?
[Hook: John Legend]
They say “What's happening?”
We say the facts and then, they lie
We coming back for them
They might say that they don't know
They say, they say, they don't know
