Propaganda - Don't Listen To Me Lyrics
I'm not delusionalThis most likely is your first experience with meGreetings, my name is PropagandaI wrote my first rap in '93, simply putFire baptized battle rapperWho's heavily influenced by folk musicAnd found creative freedom in poetryCombo is strange, I knowBut let this one bake your noodleI'm the son of a Black PantherWith a Mexican spouse and Caucasian best friendsAnd my writing tone, now,Is not one that offers you a neat little bowTo tie all your little problems up withI learned enough to know that I don't know that muchI know God became a man to save usAnd we still can't explain pyramidsI know ancient Mayans and Egyptian astronomersHad a far greater understanding of outer-space than we doI know academia is so drunk on arrogance and racismThat they'd rather credit these accomplishmentsTo aliens than to admit that we are notThe smartest civilization to ever liveI know I really love my wife, my daughter, and mangoesAnd for some reason folks find it illogicalTo think that a perfectly designed universe screams of a designerI know sarcasm is really the only time people tell the truthI know chilaquiles and in-and-out will be served in HeavenI know it's a much better decision to shut yo' mouthWhen you don't know what you talkin' 'boutThan to validate what everybody already thinks of youI know color theory very wellI have a degree in illustration and intercultural studiesAnd a teaching credential, yet I rap for a livingLet that sink inApparently I don't know that muchI just know the gospel and good hip-hopI'm a pretty simple dudeAll I got is my all and I promise to give you thatYou know lower standards will lower the cultureThe Roman empire was destroyed because of lower standards and moral decayYou know they fed each other to lions for entertainmentHumans when left to their own devices seem to be hopelessly selfishAnd bent on their own destructionIt seems that unless a power greater than us captures our heartsNothing will change that trajectoryWealth, knowledge, success seems to only feed the beastBut don't listen to meWe just metWhat do I know?
