Songtext You know it ain't Sault

You know it ain't

Yeah, I see your little post, talking 'bout BLM is my motto, but you know it ain't
I see you over by the water cooler on your break
Talking 'bout, "Tanisha your mental health is super important to me", but you know it ain't
You assume and surmise that educating you is somehow my responsibility, but you know it ain't
Hundreds of years later and still you think your guilt is ours to bear, but you know it ain't
Yeah, you say our friendship is the most important friendship you've ever had, ever, shoot, but you know it ain't
You say your entire friend group back home is all black, but you know it ain't
You can sing all the songs word for word, real authentic, but you know it ain't
You say, I have a feeling something great is gonna happen for you here, but you know it ain't, come on now

That's nice of you to say though, I guess
As a side note, there are some real ones out there
Disclaimer, this does not apply to you, y'all know who you are
But for the most part for everybody else, you can say it's real, but you know it ain't, come on
You out here like, I swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, but you know you ain't
Running 'round town, with a big ole booty talking 'bout it's real, it's mine, but you know it ain't, you know

Some people say
If you don't cry
That's a good plan to get by
If you don't cry
That's a good plan to get by, by, by, by

You talk the talk, you fake the walk and everybody thinks it's fine, but you know it ain't
And you keep trying and trying, really you're lying, you know it ain't
Acting like you down and out, you know you ain't
