[Chorus]
|
Truth decay brush up on your facts.
|
All you gotta do is check them stats
|
But what sense is a census
|
When they just miss us
|
But enlist us to fight for their justice
|
Truth decay brush up on your facts.
|
All you gotta do is check them stats
|
But what sense is a census
|
When they just miss us
|
But enlist us to fight for their justice
|
|
[Chuck D]
|
Truth is truth
|
No matter what I think
|
Knowledge is power
|
But it ain't
|
If you cant occupy your own body & mind
|
See thru the blind
|
In this place full a lies
|
Television tellin lies
|
To your vision and face
|
Seems like more of us in prison
|
Than the workplace
|
Gettin gadgets
|
So it's easy to forget
|
Economics
|
No money
|
Not a damn thing funny
|
Some diggin every minute of it
|
I'm hatin every second of it
|
Driven
|
Ever since I heard the lie about thanksgiving
|
While in still thankful through all that fibbin
|
The truth dies while lies make a living
|
History games
|
Playing stealing family names
|
Slave names turned into government names
|
Name of the game is to hide that game
|
And them lies living on with no shame ..no lie
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Truth decay brush up on your facts.
|
All you gotta do is check them stats
|
But what sense is a census
|
When they just miss us
|
But enlist us to fight for their justice
|
Truth decay brush up on your facts.
|
All you gotta do is check them stats
|
But what sense is a census
|
When they just dismiss us
|
But enlist us to grow and pick their stuff
|
|
[Chuck D]
|
Truth is truth
|
No matter what I think
|
I ain't drunk
|
Cause I don't drink
|
Don't smoke
|
Or
|
Laugh at the facts like stupid ass jokes
|
Or get lost in my own sauce, I check the source
|
I challenge information
|
Trace it to the boss
|
Refuse to accept the truth
|
When it be be lost
|
Lies in the key of new songs
|
You think it's old news
|
How come the young don't know
|
It ain't new because you never knew
|
I tell them, it's only new to you
|
Opinion is what it is and its up to you
|
The challenge information
|
To see if it's true
|
Never have so many been screwed by so few
|
You heard I'm using it for this song too
|
Damn crooks
|
Ask a question get some stupid ass looks
|
Truth don't sell a lotta records or books
|
To hell with rapes to murder rates
|
To lyin on a mixtapes
|
I want the truth
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Truth decay brush up on your facts.
|
All you gotta do is check them stats
|
But what sense is a census
|
When they just miss us
|
But enlist us to fight for their justice
|
Truth decay brush up on your facts.
|
All you gotta do is check them stats
|
But what sense is a census
|
When they forget us
|
We were here first
|
The term indigenous
