Gang Starr - Conspiracy Lyrics
You cant tell me life was meant to be like thisA black man in a world dominated by whitenessEver since the declaration of independenceWeve been easily brainwashed by just one sentenceIt goes: all men are created equalThats why corrupt governments kill innocent peopleWith chemical warfare they created crack and aidsGot the public thinking these were things that black folks madeAnd every time theres violence shown in the mediaUsually its a black thing so where are they leading yaTo a world full of ignorance, hatred, and prejudiceTv and the news for years they have fed you thisFoolish notion that blacks are all criminalsViolent, low lifes, and then even animalsIm telling the truth so some suckers are fearing meBut I must do my part to combat the conspiracyThe s.a.t. is not geared for the lower classSo why waste time even trying to passThe educational system presumes you to failThe next place is the corner then after that jailYouve got to understand that this has all been conspiredTo put a strain on our brains so that the strong grow tiredIt even exists when you go to your churchCuz up on the wall a white jesus lurksThey use your subconscious to control your willTheyve done it for a while and developed the skillTo make you want to kill your own brother manBlack against black you see its part of their planThey want to send us to war and they want to ban rapWhat they really want to do is get rid of us blacksGenocide is for real and I hope that youre hearing meYou must be aware to combat the conspiracyEven in this rap game all that glitters aint goldNow that rap is big business the snakes got boldThey give you wack contracts and try to make you go popCuz they have no regard for real hip-hopTheyll compare you to others and say: but yo, he sellsAnd you know in your heart that hes weak as hellSo you say: I aint doing that corny stuffBut they tell ya that your chart positions will go upSometimes they front big time and make you many promisesAnd when they break em then your mama saysSon youre making records but that guy seems shadyIt could be too late and your career could be played geeI hope you listen to the things that Im sharing seeWe all have a job to combat the conspiracy
