And then they start feeling some kind of way because six hundred plus years
they still think we’re a bunch of damn darkies
and can dictate to us in anyway
What some shit means
and keep trying to pull wool over our eyes
We not stupid
You keep trying to play like we are, but we’re not
For centuries we’ve been FORCED
to study you up close
to learn your every way and nuance in order to survive
And you think we don’t know YOU?
You think we don’t know your tricks?
The slightest infraction, the slightest misstep and that’s our lives
You think we don’t know how you do?
All these centuries in proximity, everyone in the fucking world is learning and emulating, sometimes to the point of homicidal, genocidal imitation
And on the flip side of that ya’ll ain’t learnt shit
You’ve stolen a lot
But still ain’t learnt shit
Our most brutal enemies are the one’s we’ve armed ourselves.
