Welcome to America.
I don't know. Is it just me,
Or is there something funky going on around here?
I'll tell you what...
You be the judge.
Somebody sold me down the river.
Something told me it was a matter of time.
But
the man say,
Ain't nothing but the blues doin' the talkin', baby.
Conspiracy's all up inside your mind, but I,
I find it don't get better for my people.
It's just a theory, but Conspiracy keeps fuckin' with me all
the time.
Something tells me that they're out to get me.
Somebody's blade stings beneath my spine.
But
the man say,
Ain't nothing but the blues doin' the talkin', baby.
Conspiracy's all up inside your mind, but I,
I find it don't get better for my people.
It's just a theory, but Conspiracy keeps fuckin' with me all
the time.
Yo, check it.
I'm out here tryin' to make it.
So many barriers and obstacles in my way, I just can't seem to shake it,
But I won't fake it.
I look my man in the eye, I say, "Brotha, let's try."
U-N-I-T-Y with our peeps. We can all split that pie."
But my boys say,
"Not tonight, dawg. Gotta get up and see that man."
But I'm noticin', bruh, you're sittin' here now with a forty in your hand.
Sometimes I wonder was this somehow the ulterior plan,
Marketing Old Gold, 4-5 and Bull to Black men?
"Aw, nigga. There you go with that conspiracy shit again."
But how else can you take it, bruh?
Can't buy that shit up on West End?
It 's way too many Blacks who break their backs for Ac's and 'Lacs,
Not building, just consuming. Content to rent and pay fat tax.
Is that coincidence?
We concentrate on elegance while it becomes politically correct to set us back.
Check the precidents.
I'm tryin' to show my peeps we're goin' down every day.
We should unite, fight, work, build and pray,
But
the man say,
Ain't
nothing but the blues doin' the talkin', baby.
Conspiracy's all up inside your mind, but I,
I find it don't get better for my people.
It's just a theory, but Conspiracy keeps fuckin' with me all
the time.
