Ahmuad, Breonna & George just the tipping point They not the provocateurs for why these cities now destroyed We still annoyed there still is a void from the killing of Emit Till Regardless of the empathy you show You would never know how feels To have an Open casket funeral for ya child that’s been mutilated by a racist mob for the world to see And the strength in that is superhuman And they don’t know the suffrage they put upon us made us stronger Keep it assuming it would ruin us Seems to me it’s foolish cause We’ve turned the cheek and forgave But today’s the day we’ve had enough 400 plus years enslaved Jim Crow laws we’ve faced Yell slurs in our face racism that’s overt The whole world observed it all along and When we got mad To combat that We marched and Grabbed signs and aligned while y’all spit on us Now we setting y’all biz Niss-is in flames Y’all want peaceful marches Can’t tell us how to express our pain Let’s play a game let’s call it roles reversed Let’s say we shackled you Kidnap you slash ya backs with whips like Masters do Rape ya women, sell ya children Feed you scraps from cows and pigs Make you pick batches of cotton till the tips of fingers bled Switch the God you served Condemn you from educating yourself Set you free but set up roadblocks To stop you from gaining wealth And when you do we get jealous and bomb your whole town Drafted for you wars fight alongside you But when ya home Watch how We get treated like American heroes Like we did all the work Well that’s absurd we was there with chu Instead of thank ya for ya service Once again ya was just shown you’re just Considered _______& you isn’t given full privileges in this land we love you helped build up and nurtured But it hurts you Cause it shows you it don’t love you but loves everything that you do for it don’t wanna play no more How you feel? Is how we feel everyday in Amerikkka with 3 K’s Home of the brave Who had us Africans enslaved We persevered & overcame Every obstacle that we faced The 13th amendment today promotes new slavery One of many reasons why you still caging me Still making pay off me Don’t pretend like you don’t know

about

“They Don’t Know” is a powerful and blatant message of anger, frustration, and pain over a soulful backdrop.
Truth is a harsh thing to face sometimes, but desperately important, especially in a world that too often turns a blind eye to it.
This is a raw, but poetic dose of truth and reality from fed-up black people living in this world, addressed to those who don’t, and can’t possibly know.

“They Don’t Know” is the first single off of their upcoming "PROclaiMAYtion " EP on Waasawki Music Group.
