uncle usi taught me
Singer:brother ali
can't teach what you don't know
can't lead where you don't go
can't reap what you don't sow
can't fool the people no more
you know me i'm a globe traveler
reporting live from the world wide massacre
no mask for the truth that animates me
see it and i speak it wherever it takes me
i'm in the republic of iran at a conference
talkin' 'bout the cops and their nonsense
and how they like to hunt black folk with no conscience
and how they want to preach human rights
request from the audience spit that uncle sam goddamn
drawing out the round of applauses
i was rocking a capella before this
because i know that rapping in iran is lawless
ahh sh-- you know me though anything for the people
the clapping kind of tapped in to my fat rapper ego
i fell into the trap plugged in my mac and let the beat go
didn't think that nobody would hear though
can't teach what you don't know
can't lead where you don't go
can't reap what you don't sow
can't fool the people no more
can't teach what you don't know
can't lead where you don't go
can't reap what you don't sow
can't fool the people no more
friday we greet each other at the mosque
but here there's only one and the government preacher talks
which struck me as odd but nothing could prepare me for
a big ass mob chanting death to america"
