The Unlearning - Nitty Scott

To whom it is concerning

This is the unlearning

Here to free my psyche at the world and I’m determined

Motherfuckers sermon

Now my wheels is turning

Guess it’s how it feels when you become a thinking person

To whom it is concerning

This is the unlearning

Everything you taught me to believe in I’m deserting

Truth is I am yearning

Urgency is burning

Pulling back the curtain and I’m searching for a certain

Okay, a wise man once said nothing (ha)

So you can’t tell me nothin'

See I know that I’ve been puffin'

But I think they’ve been bluffin'

Like they know a lil' somethin' but they frontin'

The moment when I realise

That the truth is all real lies

A bunch of flawed responses to the real wise

(?) damaged by the programming

Looking for the food we in a soul famine

But I got more than five senses

Natural defences, seven chakras through the lenses

Since the cradle, they enabled all the labelling

Doctrine with no options

I awake to an awakening

Knowledge is power but ignorance is bliss

Am I miserable with facts or just a happy idiot?

Life is painless when you brainless

Aimless when you shameless

So much unconditioning to do

I gotta sing this

Now do you know about the tool?

Visual repetition?

Powered on faithfully, your living room religion

Or what about the slavery they stitched into your breeches

Blood diamonds in your riches when they glisten

Politicians feeding us articulate nonsense

News commentators cropping the content

Drag it through the mud, tell you that it’s pure

And they keep my people sick cause ain’t no money in the cure

If the world was mine, I would teach em something new

Like, black is beautiful and you can do it too

And you ain’t gotta stand there like you ain’t feel the pain

You ain’t gotta pretend that you don’t feel the change

And your silence much louder than the violence

So don’t wait until I die to give me violets

Uh, and keep that virus out your iris

Watching with your ears, listen with your eyelids

Fuck this cheddar and wealth

I gotta better my health

Cause I can’t better the world

Before I better myself

Birthmark, making my earthmark

Spiritual rebirth when the verse start

And when I feel it is time to enlighten my mind

I sit back and close my eyes and imagine myself as I’d like to be

I envision myself sitting in the dirt

My body anchored, much like my birth

These roots are the essence that will connect me to the mother earth
