Testo So Misinformed - Snoop Dogg feat. Slick Rick
Testo della canzone So Misinformed (Snoop Dogg feat. Slick Rick), tratta dall'album I Wanna Thank Me
I would like to say to this gentleman
And all other people who are not blessed with melanin at this point in time
To understand that what has happened in our history
Is that you have been misinformed as much as we have been misinformed
Much of the information that is brought forth
Not only from Doctor Mohammed, but other areas
Other scholars, are not available to you as a sister said
In your curriculum that you've had for four years
When you did not allow us to read and write, it was being hidden
Whether you, sir, personally did that or not
It was a legacy that was passed onto you
And I end by saying the Holocaust is simply
The greatest atrocity on film, ours was not filmed
(Get up, stand up), no apology, equality
(Stand up for your rights), youth is future, let's move forward
(Get up, stand up), healthy mentality helps sanity
(Stand up for your rights), melting pot, help us up, vote or not
(Get up, stand up), facts half backwards and inaccurate
(Stand up for your rights), tell folks no backin' up, track it up
(Get up, stand up), good over evil, deceitful
(Don't give up the fight), morals, principles, it's simple, son
What will it take for my peoples to connect together?
You know it's black excellence if we compete together
Picture a photograph of black folks lit together
In high definition, in high, I would never
Turn my back on the block, I got the block on my back
Like James Brown, boy, I'm proud to be black
To all my sisters (Mother Earth has birthed us)
(Lurchers, it hurts us first, less heard this)
To all my sisters, ain't no knockin' you back
Politicians politickin' with a gown and a cap
The house got flavor and I like it like that
Black girl power, yeah, I'm rockin' with that
Doors is gettin' kicked down
Statues is gettin' ripped down
Presidents meetin' overseas just to have a sitdown
They tryna keep us from runnin' up
I never tell you to get down, it's all about comin' up
(Get up, stand up), no apology, equality
(Stand up for your rights), youth is future, let's move forward
(Get up, stand up), healthy mentality helps sanity
(Stand up for your rights), melting pot, help us up, vote or not
(Get up, stand up), facts half backwards and inaccurate
(Stand up for your rights), tell folks no backin' up, track it up
(Get up, stand up), good over evil, deceitful
(Don't give up the fight), morals, principles, it's simple, son
So what are you saying?
The foundation was laid, y'all nation was made
Off our ancestors' back, back, back in the day
Four hundred years ago, y'all made us slaves
And you can hear it in the spirit comin' deep from the graves
Life is a maze
Smoke so much dope you in a daze
But you ain't trippin', you gettin' paid
Who do you praise? But anyways
I read a history book, but I ain't learned nothin', dawg
So I read the Bible, then the holy Quran
Went to Jamaica to acquire my knowledge
Sat with some Rastas 'til my game got polished
The gangbang extreme with malice
Trees and degrees like I'm trained for college
They tryna keep us from runnin' up
I never tell you to get down, it's all about comin' up
(Get up, stand up), no apology, equality
(Stand up for your rights), youth is future, let's move forward
(Get up, stand up), healthy mentality helps sanity
(Stand up for your rights), melting pot, help us up, vote or not
(Get up, stand up), facts half backwards and inaccurate
(Stand up for your rights), tell folks no backin' up, track it up
(Get up, stand up), good over evil, deceitful
(Don't give up the fight), morals, principles, it's simple, son
(Get up, stand up), no apology, equality
(Stand up for your rights), youth is future, let's move forward
(Get up, stand up), healthy mentality helps sanity
(Stand up for your rights), melting pot, help us up, vote or not
(Get up, stand up), facts half backwards and inaccurate
(Stand up for your rights), tell folks no backin' up, track it up
(Get up, stand up), good over evil, deceitful
(Don't give up the fight), morals, principles, it's simple, son
