《Uncle Usi Taught Me》歌词

[00:00:00] Uncle Usi Taught Me - Brother Ali

[00:00:04] Mm hmm

[00:00:10] Uncle Usi taught me

[00:00:12] Can't teach what you don't know

[00:00:15] Can't lead where you don't go

[00:00:18] Can't reap what you don't sow

[00:00:20] Can't fool the people no more

[00:00:21] You know me I'm a globe traveler soul ambassador

[00:00:25] Reporting live from the world wide massacre

[00:00:28] No mask for the truth that animates me

[00:00:31] See it and I speak it wherever it takes me

[00:00:33] I'm in the republic of Iran at a conference

[00:00:36] Talkin' 'bout the cops and their nonsense

[00:00:38] And how they like to hunt black folk with no conscience

[00:00:41] And how they want to preach human rights its preposterous

[00:00:44] Request from the audience spit that Uncle Sam goddamn

[00:00:48] Drawing out the round of applauses

[00:00:49] I was rocking a Capella before this

[00:00:52] Because I know that rapping in Iran is lawless

[00:00:55] Ahh sh you know me though anything for the people

[00:00:59] The clapping kind of tapped in to my fat rapper ego

[00:01:02] I fell into the trap plugged in my mac and let the beat go

[00:01:05] Didn't think that nobody would hear though here we go

[00:01:09] Can't teach what you don't know

[00:01:11] Can't lead where you don't go

[00:01:14] Can't reap what you don't sow

[00:01:16] Can't fool the people no more

[00:01:18] Oh here he go

[00:01:20] Can't teach what you don't know

[00:01:22] Can't lead where you don't go

[00:01:26] Can't reap what you don't sow

[00:01:27] Can't fool the people no more

[00:01:29] This is how it go

[00:01:30] Friday we greet each other at the mosque

[00:01:33] But here there's only one and the government preacher talks

[00:01:36] Which struck me as odd but nothing could prepare me for

[00:01:38] A big ass mob chanting death to America

[00:01:41] It felt like somebody talking 'bout my mama wait

[00:01:44] It's all real but I'ma still feel some type of way

[00:01:47] You mean the system and I'm with you on that

[00:01:50] But you got to be more specific than that

[00:01:51] You ain't talkin' 'bout the families getting whipped in the back

[00:01:55] I'm trippin' cause I've never felt defensive like that

[00:01:57] Okay so meanwhile footage of me spitting these raps

[00:02:00] Is playing on every TV station they have

[00:02:03] They jail people for that

[00:02:04] The local rappers all start clapping back

[00:02:06] Death threats all in my social media apps hm

[00:02:10] I started lookin' at the people that brought me here

[00:02:12] Like what the hell y'all got me on man I'm out of here

[00:02:16] Can't teach what you don't know

[00:02:19] Can't lead where you don't go

[00:02:22] Can't reap what you don't sow

[00:02:24] Can't fool the people no more

[00:02:26] Oh here y'all go

[00:02:28] Can't teach what you don't know

[00:02:30] Can't lead where you don't go

[00:02:33] Can't reap what you don't sow

[00:02:35] Can't fool the people no more

[00:02:37] This is how it go

[00:02:38] This that international gang banging and

[00:02:41] My homeland hit Iran with the sanctions

[00:02:44] And my credit cards and telephone ain't happening

[00:02:46] But I can't imagine a better land to be stranded in

[00:02:50] Almost everyone that see me coming

[00:02:52] Want to take me home and they trying to feed me something

[00:02:55] But I took the last forty dollars that I had

[00:02:58] And headed to the airport in a cab and there I sat

[00:03:01] Starving cause there's only one flight a day

[00:03:04] I can't even buy a ticket tryna find a way

[00:03:06] Somebody seen me on TV and recognized my face

[00:03:09] And let me write an email to my wife in the states

[00:03:12] I'm in the airport three days wondering if I'm even safe

[00:03:15] Finally got a seat on the plane

[00:03:17] Now imagine my exhausted embarrassment

[00:03:20] Get back to America they interrogate me like a terrorist

[00:03:23] Really

[00:03:24] Can't teach what you don't know

[00:03:27] Can't lead where you don't go

[00:03:29] Can't reap what you don't sow

[00:03:32] Can't fool the people no more

[00:03:34] Watch where you go

[00:03:35] Can't teach what you don't know

[00:03:38] Can't lead where you don't go

[00:03:41] Can't reap what you don't sow

[00:03:43] Can't fool the people no more
