Travius Keandric - Truism Lyrics

The negro lives on a lonely island of poverty
In the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity
100 Years later
I'm an original, there's no identical type individual
Millennial, I'm not a friend of you not even kin to you
No interview, no matter win or lose cause I don't trust the news
New altitudes, I'm flying high as ever tryna touch the moon
I am a star, tell me who you are who you looking for
Was it me? Oh my can it be, I'm what you wanna see
I'm what you get, tell me am I it? Will I make you rich
Dollar signs running through your mind when you hear this
(Ay ay) I ain't worried bout em, I can do without em
Keep your money and your cars and paparazzi facade
I was real from the start if yeen heard bout me
You got a son and a daughter that look up to me for order
How could I ever ignore em? Lord they need me
I got family and friends that look up to me to win
And do it again I know that you see me (Hey)
America has given the negro people a bad check
A check which has come back marked insufficient funds
Guess I'm a criminal cause I'm the general and I'm the president
No medicine, no medication given to my residents
American, black american who we burying
Failing them dead and jailing them, trade and selling them
Ima make a movie, ima make a movie
Tell em all to sue me ,tell em all to sue me
Ima make the news G, ima make the news G
That's how Ima do it, that's how Ima
(Ay ay) I ain't worried bout em, I can do without em
Keep your company your friends the promises
And pretending like you really give a really care about us
I got a mission to begin, the only choice is to win
I'm never losing again if you worried bout me
I gotta reason I'm alive, I'm giving you all I got
So love me while I'm around and spread the word bout me (Hey)
So we've come to cash this check
A check that will give us upon demand
The riches of freedom
And the security of justice
