Lately ft. RQM Lyrics

Not lately

Have I seen my history

Not lately

Have I seen my roots shine clear to me

Not lately

Have I seen my history

Not lately

Have I seen my roots shine clear to me

Disconnected partially deleted

Seared like metal to skin when heated

Fragmented fractured formula repeated

Breakdown the backbone make pliable

Then knead it

Could it be that we did the dirt that we be

And history becomes real cause we repeat it

Circle to spiral to vortex

Amnesia swing hammer hit cortex

Cerebral rewind return to the feeble

Position edit cut slice incisions

Thoughtfully forgetful precision

Fade out truth under the radar

Fade out truth under the radar

Not lately

Have I seen my history

Not lately

Have I seen my roots shine clear to me

Not lately

Have I seen my history

Not lately

Have I seen my roots shine clear to me

Our neck´s in a noose

But it´s their rope

Inherited their loops

We born choked

Born into history that they wrote

Forced to speak a language that they spoke

Yes sir we´re imprisoned in a tight prism

Didn´t ask for a it but caught tunnel vision

Encased in a body with the heart missing

Mantra media hypnosis we're forced to listen

Force-fed poison to follow and lip synch

So fuck another anthem – listen

It's the between the lines that's pure genuine

That off beat path leads to the anodyne

Vacate cut from consensus mayday

Off radar

That´s where the tracks lay

That´s where the tracks lay

This is not our history

This ain´t no source of dignity

Just some tall tale of old glory

Stories fed us since we was born

´Bout one mighty nation come along

I came, I saw, I conquered

And put the facts as they belong

Escaping all scorn

I put up a statue for future generations to mourn

In their ignorance

Is

Bliss

´Cause

Our roots are no longer rooted in truth

Fabricated, misguided, ill-used

Forefathers bent and confused

Birthed children with spirits abused

Light years ahead in a sense

Our future ensues

With no past to teach us not to repeat it

Not lately

Have I seen my history

Not lately

Have I seen my roots shine clear to me

Not lately

Have I seen my history

Not lately

Have I seen my roots shine clear to me
