[00:54.27]In the right light  study becomes insight
[00:55.69]But the system that dissed us
[00:57.68]Teaches us to read and write
[00:58.93]So called facts are fraud
[01:00.42]They want us to allege and pledge
[01:01.99]And bow down to their god
[01:03.54]Lost the culture  the culture lost
[01:06.09]Spun our minds and through time

[01:54.33]With lecture I puncture the structure of lies
[01:57.40]Installed in our minds and attempting
[01:58.52]To hold us back
[01:59.71]Weve got to take it back

[02:03.88]One-sided stories for years and years and years
[02:06.13]I'm inferior  whos inferior

[02:10.10]Of the system that cares about only one culture

[03:33.98]But the lesson plan he can't recall
[03:36.42]The students eyes don't perceive the lies
[03:38.67]Bouning off every f**king wall
[03:39.49]
[03:40.15]His composure is well kept
[03:43.01]I guess he fears playing the fool
[03:45.51]The complacent students sit and listen to some of that
[03:48.62]Bullshit that he learned in school
[03:50.06]Europe ain't my rope to swing on
[03:52.36]Can't learn a thing from it
[03:53.80]Yet we hang from it
[03:54.86]Gotta get it  gotta get it together then
[03:56.98]Like the motherf**kin weathermen
[03:58.61]To expose and close the doors on those who try
[04:01.13]To strangle and mangle the truth
[04:02.88]Cause the circle of hatred continues unless we react
