Gaslight slavery
Fear is absence of bravery
So Pissed they can’t admit
Their privilege so they resent
Our history and mystery
Love my culture yet constantly pissed at me
A system of lies from education to laws
Got us believing our future is dimmer than it is - pause
Power and money is 100% fiction
Make believe, written to deceive and make people listen
Columbus and Washington killed people and owned slaves
Both eponymous and still celebrated as national holidays
Psychological warfare like Patrick Hamilton’s play
Dim the gaslight and flip the victim’s plight
Like damn, maybe Kanye’s right
Slavey sounds like a choice
Not-That negro’s been crazy, gotta mute that voice
Don’t fall for the okie doke
When the media’s blowing smoke
Shell games, while the re-arrange the names
Three card monte keep your eye on the spades
Diamonds cut, clubs hit, as your heart bleeds with rage
Four suits proves that the fix has been in
The game’s rigged but the hands with the cards still pretend....
