Tru - Matte Black lyrics

​[Verse 1] Let's see if our nation's flag is really on the moon Let's take a trip just to see if what they say is true Say we need change, somebody make it soon Imagine my reaction they look in my face and say it's you Hand's dirty I'm guilty of sinning I know I'm wrong so I pray to the lord I'm forgiven Black foreign rolling through the city RIP Jeff I got all my brothers rolling with me I don't trust nobody else with them When everybody is against them I'm helping em Let's build a new race of black men who educate themselves Regulate themselves and dedicate themselves Cause higher ups say they better hate themselves Forever safe in jail we'll never make them tell This is a new revolution Colored people all around the world we're recruiting Pray our kids gon be alright, they gon be alright, they gon be alright promise we won't get stupid I say this because I believe that shhh But homie open a book up and read that shhh With all that's going on around you know it's hard to see that shhh But oxygen's enough for you so breathe that shhh Man for real one more thing, before you grab that steel Think how long it took for me to grab that deal and then you could [Hook] Tell me who's running this world Tell me who, Tell me who Tell me who's running this world Tell me who's running this world Tell me who's running this world Tell me who's running this world Tell me who, Tell me who Tell me who's running this world Tell me who's running this world Tell me who's running this world [Verse 2] I'm representing for the youngin who don't got much to believe in Listening close to the words that I'm speaking He's become accustomed to hanging out on the weekend Black American's with no culture now I'm preaching Now I'm teaching but they claim that were indecent Unfaithful, with no customs, how the hell they expect us to stop reaching? Let's make our own language They gon teach police how we'll decieve them How we'll rise up against the man and impeach him Tell us we ain't smart enough to run our own households Keep saying that we'll keep running the streets then I'm tired of it we keep taking the beating From those who make money while sleeping And tax money the governments keeping Like I don't need that 80 dollars I know I hear it, but you don't that baby holler Our women have the highest rate of abortion Highest grades in these colleges, highest rate of extortion Some voices fail to report them, no it ain't their fault It's the fans who support them So who's wrong? Who's right? Who's gon stop the bs, stand up and fight? It's messed up man our teens are the mothers now Multi-colored kids trying to make their mothers proud [Hook] Tell me who's running this world Tell me who, Tell me who Tell me who's running this world Tell me who's running this world Tell me who's running this world Tell me who's running this world Tell me who, Tell me who Tell me who's running this world Tell me who's running this world Tell me who's running this world
