Missy Elliott - @LyrikthePoet #SoGoneChallenge lyrics

Race, a symptom of a disease A distraction from what actually happening behind the scenes And if you attack enough people that all look alike Yeah they'll unite On the outer appearance And not the truth that's inside And I'm not saying black ain't been the biggest target for some time Yet remove ya melanin there'd be some other reason why I don't understand how you could hear the greatest tale Get a taste of it's truth to the point that you know it's real And then you just up and leave Man all beguiled by the cartel Bigger, better, get the cheddar, vanity is yo hell Up well, back to the case Why we divided in our race? Used to fight for equal rights now it's ourselves we segregate No new form of mental slavery how bout you elevate Get high on this truth instead of temporary escapes Shed some light up in this place Man, let me open the drapes See you look in the mirror, but you can't recognize your face You thought a crystal was the answer to yo situation Hanging with miseducation, your lore in heals got misdirected Misconception got you focused on complexions When the reality is actually spiritual Who would've guess it
