[Chorus]

Capitalism is so real

The same people that sell the sickness sell the pill

The pharmaceutical companies in cahoots with bad meals

The same people that sell the sickness sell the pill

And mainstream rap in cahoots with private jails

The same people that sell the sickness sell the pill

And mainstream religions, no facts just all feel - yeah

The same people that sell thе sickness sell the pill

So what’s up?

[Verse 1]

If your mind is a wеapon then make sure that its loaded

And probably keep it on safety cuz the world is thought phobic

Politically correct no respect for the stoic

Such neglect for the steps of those reppin heroics

Someone steps up. A whistle blower fesses up

Let's protect the rights for them to do it, I can't stress it enough

'Cause the one percent got a poker face lets call their bluff

Put their greed inside of a toilet, give me a royal flush!

Kings and Queens from red shades to Black spades

Back in the days we raised rap to jack thangs

CNN for Blacks P.E. Chuck D phrase

PRT to XClan to AD we gave our Flavor Flav

To tell the world behave we are no slaves

And while we dance, we’ll take stands and part the waves

And part the seas give healthy thoughts to fight dis-ease

Show em hip hops strength Hercules, Hercules!

[Chorus]

Capitalism is so real

The same people that sell the sickness sell the pill

The pharmaceutical companies in cahoots with bad meals

The same people that sell the sickness sell the pill

And mainstream rap in cahoots with private jails

The same people that sell the sickness sell the pill

And mainstream religions, no facts just all feel - yeah

The same people that sell the sickness sell the pill

So what’s up?

[Verse 2]

What’s the solution when power’s what their abusing

No more of this confusion, conclusion of the collisions...

Amusing how they portray us and try to use what we say

Then turn right around and try to mimic how we live everyday...

Now whats up with that? Take and give nothing back?

Well they put the dope off in our hood and blamed us for crack

And look at em now, they giving us mask to cover up the masses

From something they produced in a lab, it’s a disaster

The world we all livin' in is so cold

Hands high, don’t shoot, got me kneeling on the floor

While they’re kneeling on my throat trying to overplay their role

Suspend the suspensions with pay and let em pay with their soul

Lock us up but let them go? I’m demanding some understanding

Why is fast food so cheap but it cost to eat what is planted?

Taking nothing for granted, this planet that we call home

We can call it a lot of things but can never call it our own! I’m gone!

[Chorus]

Capitalism is so real

The same people that sell the sickness sell the pill

The pharmaceutical companies in cahoots with bad meals

The same people that sell the sickness sell the pill

And mainstream rap in cahoots with private jails

The same people that sell the sickness sell the pill

And mainstream religions, no facts just all feel - yeah

The same people that sell the sickness sell the pill

So what’s up?

[Verse 3]

Knowledge, Equality, Justice, Understanding

Power to the people the streets demand it

Fires be fueled by the unjust rules

Look universal law is to gather the tools

So many jewels, free yourself, unlocked rage

Know the source free force let the energy rain

If you woke you done seen the turn of the tides

Nothing new but new clues gave birth to the rise

Blind eyes seeing light for the first, bubbles burst

Broke curse, God spoke, know your worth

The gold tainted, most times things ain't what they seem

Once you realize you're a threat to the regime

Stay focused, no hocus we exposing the frauds

Learning — as we kick open the door

They created the sickness, they created the cure

That's how the rich is getting richer, they at war with the poor

Limited resource, neighborhoods abused by force

Red lining humans dying its histories course

Facts hidden and lost but divine intervention

Kept us marching right on course

Wild rhythms deep wisdom in the spin of the record

Generations fought shine light on the skeptics

We see fakeness, our intension is sacred

Third eye wide exemplifying greatness What's up?

[Chorus]

Capitalism is so real

The same people that sell the sickness sell the pill

The pharmaceutical companies in cahoots with bad meals

The same people that sell the sickness sell the pill

And mainstream rap in cahoots with private jails

The same people that sell the sickness sell the pill

And mainstream religions, no facts just all feel - yeah

The same people that sell the sickness sell the pill

So what’s up?
