1. Truth stay intangible, they treat us like animals
Don't expect progress, the movement's all lateral
Upward climb result in heinous crime
Talkin' Tulsa '21, May 31
Burnt Black Wall Street behind some pale sheets
Shit is weak
Historically, Events remain cyclical
Stories so typical the tears run dry
Sip the Iron Wine as poetic device
Quick to link thought like when tape get spliced
What I call a good time?
My hood and three dice
Ol' Gold got this kid real nice
I'm a atypical stereotype
Ol' Gold got this kid real nice
I'm a atypical stereotype

Chorus:
Truth stay intangible, they treat us like animals
(4x)

2. They got enamored with the glamour, lost sight of our plight
Doesn't take proper grammar to be able to write
Harsh truth always heard between the lines I recite
Change the world and I'll change my gripes
Change the world and I'll change my gripes
Sip the Iron wine at such great heights I ain't conscious
Speak for the paupers, griots, and the authors
Chorus:
Truth stay intangible, they treat us like animals
(2x)

They got enamored with the glamour, lost sight of our plight
Doesn't take proper grammar to be able to write

Change the world and I'll change my gripes
Change the world and I'll change my gripes

Truth stay intangible, they treat us like animals
(1x)

Sip the Iron wine at such great heights I ain't conscious
Speak for the paupers, griots, and the authors

Truth stay intangible, they treat us like animals
(2x)

Sip the Iron wine at such great heights I ain't conscious
Speak for the paupers, griots, and the authors
Truth stay intangible, they treat us like animals
(2x)

Sip the Iron wine at such great heights I ain't conscious
Speak for the paupers, griots, and the authors
Diseased try to lead? They lost us

Truth stay intangible, they treat us like animals
(4x)
