Facts Not Fiction

 

Facts Not Fiction

(album: Practice Makes Paper - 2019)


African-Americans have long been acknowledged for their creativity and genius
In theater, dance, music, art and literature
But there's another kind of creative contribution African-Americans have made
And that's the art of invention

("Helluva made the beat, baby")

[E-40:]
My don't get their props, it's not a mystery
Bet y'all didn't know there was a Black man named Nearest Green
That taught Jack Daniels how to make whiskey
They wanna leave us up outta history and keep us hidden
Let me break down a few things that we invented
There was a Black nurse named Marie Brittan Brown, listen
She invented the first home security system
There's a long list of winners, not no losers
Otis Boykin developed the IBM computer
George Washington Carver invented peanut butter, that's what they say
Have you ever had a sandwich called PB&J?
There more to us than thugging, jewelry, twerking, sports and entertainment
Selling dope and murder, funeral arrangements

[Stresmatic (E-40):]
Peep game, listen (Listen), I make all decisions
Never play both sides, get money then I'm dipping (Dippin')
Just stay the same, I don't be switching (Switching what is it?)
All facts, not fiction (All facts)
Peep game, listen (Listen), I make all decisions
Never play both sides, get money then I'm dipping (Dippin')
I just stay the same, I don't be switching (Switching what is it?)
All facts, not fiction

[E-40:]
I listen to rappers that record to feed my soul and give me fuel (Fuel)
E-40 lyrics is like home-school (Home-school)
And here's another thing they didn't teach you in history class
Did you know that Garrett Augustus Morgan invented the first gas mask? (No)
Back then they didn't treat Black people equal
He was also granted a patent for the first traffic signal (Oh)
God gave me the gift of spit and grabbed the mic
The slavemaster didn't want us to learn how to read and write (Fa sho)
While we talking about knocking a head off
We losing our people to cancer and diabetes, foot's cut off (Foot's cut off)
Stress in my genetics and my family (Family)
Got my ancestors' blood, hereditary (Hereditary)
Grandma was a Capricorn, born in January ('uary)
Grandpa was a Pisces, he was born in February ('uary)
Married for 60 years, they was cute (Cute)
Bernice, Louisiana, the boot (The boot)

[Stresmatic (E-40):]
Peep game, listen (Listen), I make all decisions
Never play both sides, get money then I'm dipping (Dippin')
Just stay the same, I don't be switching (Switching what is it?)
All facts, not fiction (All facts)
Peep game, listen (Listen), I make all decisions
Never play both sides, get money then I'm dipping (Dippin')
I just stay the same, I don't be switching (Switching what is it?)
All facts, not fiction

[E-40 & Stresmatic:]
All facts, all facts, all facts, all facts
All facts (All facts, not fiction)
All facts, all facts, all facts, all facts
All facts (All facts, not fiction)
All facts, all facts, all facts, all facts
All facts (All facts, not fiction)
All facts, all facts, all facts, all facts
All facts (All facts, not fiction)
Not fiction (Not fiction?)
Not fiction (All facts, not fiction)
Not fiction (Not fiction?)
Not fiction (All facts, not fiction)
Not fiction (Not fiction?)
Not fiction (All facts, not fiction)
Not fiction (Not fiction?)
Not fiction (All facts, not fiction)
Not fiction (All facts, not fiction)
