You Know It Ain't - SAULT

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, 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 ol' 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

Then 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

Na-na, na, na

Na, na, na, na

Na-na, yeah, yeah

And you keep trying and trying, really you’re lying

But you know it ain’t

Acting like you down and out

You know you ain’t
