[Verse]
If only the homies knew about white supremacist laws
Then they’d recognize them crackers is the root of they flaws
If only the homies knew that for the sake of a dollar
They would pillage your village
And they won’t care when you holler
If only the homies knew that that route for the paper
Will turn around and finesse your people for menial labor
If only the homies knew about that billionaire label
I pray to God they’d leave those hopes and dreams
Right there on the table
If only the homies knew that a two party setup
Is just a setup to make you think everything will be better
If only the homies knew that the vote is an iota
In the quota of fighting for justice in every corner
If only my homies knew that these cops are corrupted
But they thought that meant some cops could've been trusted
If only my homies knew that the point of they structure
Is to clutch us in the grasp of killing each other
If only the homies knew 'bout that war on drugs, '94 crime bill
And all the above: Redlining, gentrification and displacement
The reason why ya homies pro'lly live in the basement
If only the homies knew that there’s faith in that unity
I don’t talk about this shit so I could think of a hook
They got us thinking that we lost no matter where we look
But that’s what happens when there’s cap inside your history books
Goddamn
