Propaganda - JL

As I was brewing my morning cup of tea

A news reporter story interrupted me

Sat my cup down on the granite counter in front of me

Adjust the volume, tune into the fuckery

Can’t help but react emotionally

Doin' to me is exactly what it’s supposed to be

Show a horror scene and the pandemonium openly

Then I add a president hope to sayin' vote for me

Next, vex read off a grocery

List of side effect of a new prescription of dopamine

It’s clear to see an agenda

Now we’re too old really distractin' us to remember, remember

Man a nigga gon' be a nigga

Had to check the gram and had to pull up the twitter

Lying to my Facebook feed

Upside down smiles up the face who read

While we shuffle through information we given

Someone say it’s truly an indication we livin'

In the last days, I’m sayin' them niggas trippin'

And for the sake of my future children, I pray it isn’t

We watch conflicted an upset

Unshocked as they put up a pic of a suspect

Got up, had to turn off the television set

I can honestly only see one threat

Propaganda

We see on the news

Propaganda

Keeping us confused

Don’t debate with fools

It never do make a difference

You divin' into a pool of opinions

Protestin', signin' petitions

Executive order, it’s hard to listen

Why the new confuse the viewers decisions

Nobody knows who responsible for the killin’s

Unconcerned along as your whip is in new condition

'til they grill up on you tellin' you to to assume the position

What if they labeled you a criminal?

Used the power of media to get rid of you

Every word search, every YouTube video

Website searched, every view you ridiculed

Who you grew up with, place that you eat

Tracked every move, ain’t safe in the street

For the revolutionary, they take when you speak

Any means necessary, all the ways of the meek

Who’s really elected by us to lead?

Say, I may be biased but I do try to believe

Try persuadin' us to abandon the dream

Got me questionin' if america is on my team

I’ma stand with my people with my hands up

All together man, we fuckin' all they plans up

I do understand ain’t none of us got the answer

Feed in to it we apart of the propaganda
