Timmy Probably - Brainwashed lyrics

Brainwashed by the melanin watchers Salty every time a n***a gets honored Self love stoppers Like racist otters Claws sticky from traveling cross bloodstained waters Jump Jim Crow gave me stage fright Saying with my an-ces-try Ex-pect-tree to be my grave site Hanged for looking at daughters Ironically that was the only way they allowed my DEscendants to ASCEND If there's black in your past your slapped with the task of carrying slave ships daily All of the weight None of the credit I always kept a close eye on genocidal avalanches cause they never lied about wanting to bury me The very least I was expecting Was to get blindsided by a wrecking ball as black as I am Lynching became illegal Because some realized that it was a disgusting act While many others realized That they can convince us to psychologically Hang our own kind With no pine To save our own spine And they can watch it the whole time Stir the appropriated gumbo Get heavy handed when you black pepper in that misguided bigotry Let us internalize it in our bellies But never add black heritage cause that would give us strength Keep us hungry for integration while you stuff us with lies Remind us there's always more entrées for those that pa** out self hate plates for them Gotta love sell-your-soul food with A LITTLE CAWN BREAD Kunta put his foot in it and just like it we are lost Black panthers who forgot the enemy, scratching each other to get to the top We are copy paste military soldiers born into a war of slaughtering clones before learning and appreciating our differences yet demomized for being too militant Trained to attack anything with melanin Pigment must a**imilate or be eliminated d**h is the only way to discharge They choose to dishonor The beauty in darker Complexions And check it They still Shoot us for profit Think you gonna stop it By speaking to European standards? By dressing in suits? Shaving your locks? Ignorance is all part of the ma**a plan Self hating brown people are allowed to live until they change course. Intelligence is a weapon "I've got a gun." Fear for your life So you steer my kind to the pipeline of prison and erasure Selling out is synonymous with success Beat it into our heads until its engrained into our community like whip scars Shake our self worth til ourselves are worth selling Let identity fly off the shelves Put us in cells Make a franchise out of disenfranchising darker denizens Take notes of our tendecies and shove us in the margins Convince us to do the dirty work for you Teach us betrayal equals survival Blame feels like bullets Make us point fingers at each other until it feels like gunpoint Call it black on black crime Shame feels like water, it washes away Let us cleanse ourselves You want us to Spill our own blood I know because The last thing you want on your hands... And in this world Is color
