So Misinformed (feat. Slick Rick)

I would like to say to this gentleman and all other people
 Who are not blessed with melanin at this point in time
 To understand that what has happened in our history is that
 You have been misinformed as much as we have been misinformed
 Much of the information that is brought forth, not only from Doctor Mohammed
 But other areas, other scholars, are not available to you as a sister said in your curriculum
 That you've had for 400 years when you did not allow us to read and write
 It was being hidden, whether you, sir, personally did that or not
 It was a legacy that was passed onto you
 And I end by saying the Holocaust is simply the greatest atrocity on film
 Ours was not filmed
 (Get up, stand up) No apology, equality
 (Stand up for your rights) Youth is future, let's move forward
 (Get up, stand up) Healthy mentality helps sanity
 (Stand up for your rights) Melting Pot, help us up, vote or not
 (Get up, stand up) Facts half backwards and inaccurate
 (Stand up for your rights) Tell folks no backin' up, track it up
 (Get up, stand up) Good over evil, deceitful
 (Don't give up the fight) Morals, principles, it's simple, son
 What will it take for my peoples to connect together?
 You know it's black excellence if we compete together
 Picture a photograph of black folks lit together
 In high definition, in high, I would never
 Turn my back on the block, I got the block on my back
 Like James Brown, boy, I'm proud to be black
 To all my sisters, Mother Earth has birthed us
 Lurchers, it hurts us first, less heard this
 To all my sisters, ain't no knockin' you back
 Politicans politickin' with a gown and a cap
 The house got flavor and I like it like that
 Black girl power, yeah, I'm rockin' with that
 Doors is gettin' kicked down, statues is gettin' ripped down
 Presidents meetin' overseas just to have a sitdown
 They tryna keep us from runnin' up
 I never tell you to get down, it's all about comin' up
 (Get up, stand up) No apology, equality
 (Stand up for your rights) Youth is future, let's move forward
 (Get up, stand up) Healthy mentality helps sanity
 (Stand up for your rights) Melting Pot, help us up, vote or not
 (Get up, stand up) Facts half backwards and inaccurate
 (Stand up for your rights) Tell folks no backin' up, track it up
 (Get up, stand up) Good over evil, deceitful
 (Don't give up the fight) Morals, principles, it's simple, son (Son)
 So what are you saying?
 The foundation was laid, y'all nation was made
 Off our ancestors' back, back, back in the days
 Four hundred years ago, y'all made us slaves
 And you can hear it in the spirit comin' deep from the graves
 Life is a maze
 Smoke so much dope you in a daze
 But you ain't trippin', you gettin' paid
 Who do you praise? But anyways
 I read a history book, but I ain't learned nothin', dawg
 So I read the Bible, then the holy Quran
 Went to Jamaica to acquire my knowledge
 Sat with some Rastas 'til my game got polished
 The gangbang extreme with malice
 Trees and degrees like I'm trained for college
 Get it, they tryna keep us from runnin' up
 I never tell you to get down, it's all about comin' up
 (Get up, stand up) No apology, equality
 (Stand up for your rights) Youth is future, lets move forward

 (Stand up for your rights) Melting Pot, help us up, vote or not
 (Get up, stand up) Facts half backwards and inaccurate
