My whole life I was lied to At least, that's the way it was at my school The whole truth left to mystery Raised on a white washed history It sucks to realize the younger days were all for nothing When all these teachers just pretended like they taught us something And mainstream writers, educators, historians Fill the youth's mind with lies come from preposterous origins The future borin' 'em, it's no surprise They devised a plan to fill these brains with nothing but lies So that we despise, looking at the world with fresh eyes Accept everything they taught us and refuse to revise Cause they know that our historical record's full of atrocities With enough war and genocyde to fill up any glossary Racism and inequality has been the policy Since even way before the first North American colonies Teaching our past with the truth, is how it oughta be But a brainwashed populus is their biggest commodity How can we possibly be part of the solution When Babylon's always out to hinder our evolution that's why... My whole life I was lied to At least, that's the way it was at my school The whole truth left to mystery Raised on a white washed history My whole life I was lied to At least, that's the way it was at my school The whole truth left to mystery Raised on a white washed history Uh, it's a racist world that we're livin' in Only now with systems put in place to try and keep it hidden Too many white men have powerful positions And examining our history means making tough admissions Cause historically, white people came and stole land And historically, they gave the power to the man And historically, they came and raped the native women And sent a continent of people from their home in shipments Till present day, they never resolved this stuff They took it and systematically tried to cover it up But these are deep stains, you can't clean 'em up like a scuff Can't sweep it under the rug, you can't raise us all on a bluff You can't give a national holiday now to a fuckin colonist Who didn't even come to America 1st man, far from it! And I'm here now, in part from this shit But change means facing our past, never polishing it My whole life I was lied to At least, that's the way it was at my school The whole truth left to mystery Raised on a white washed history My whole life I was lied to At least, that's the way it was at my school The whole truth left to mystery Raised on a white washed history They try to gloss over, dumb down, re-write the facts They never talk about the government distributing crack They keep it under wrap, yeah they neglect that America sent citizens to Japanese internment camps But you can run it back, put calendars in stacks And find the story full of impositions and attacks The British, Spanish, Dutch, Portugal, it's been happenin' For thousands of years, just look at the Vatican To see how they took the human population and scattered it And took tons of ancient history and shredded and shattered it Our true origins abandoned it, in the name of 1 God But I see Gobekli Tepe and think that it's kind of odd When the Watchers and Annunaki appear on all continents Finding remains of elongated skulls with astonishment Stop acting like we got it figured out, it's the opposite When the aliens come, those books go all to shit My whole life I was lied to At least, that's the way it was at my school The whole truth left to mystery Raised on a white washed history
