But Do They Know Lyrics by Unchained XL

Foreign Legacy

2018

[UXL]
This skeleton wasn’t meant to swim
Elephant physique with a lil bit of melanin (yup)
Pioneers of the life that we tryn’ settle in
Believe the last thing we finna be is fittin’ in (uh huh, uh huh, uh huh)
Me and my peers, (what) we are magnificent (uh huh)
New Culture Architects, half the time wingin’ it (uh huh)
Three passports (what) I am not limited (uh huh)
Everywhere I go is like
“Yeah I get it, I’m different”
Let’s go the distance
It’s time that we (what) exceed any restrictions
On the size of dreams (dreams)
Next gen kids, I want they eyes to gleam (gleam)
When sharing stories about (what) what you and I achieve
What you and I recieved? (uh)
It’s the best we extract
Leave the rest in the past
We have left the whole caste
So why you actin’? (so why you act?)
Now put your fears in a casket
And quit feelin’ guilty ‘bout following your passion
[Nuel Nonso]
Ooooo uh-yuh-yuh-oo-wooahh
Uhmmmm hmm
[UXL]
Eh hehn
[Nonso]
Uh
[UXL]
Nonso!
[Nonso]
Na who send your limits, ha
Never felt the tremors
I left my home in pieces
Boy but do they know
History is seamless, ha
You can’t divide us
We’re building this as dreamers
Boy but do they know
[JessB]
Uh uh, yeah, JessB
Left the motherland in the womb
Told her I’ll be back soon
Took me twenty years to get back up under that moon
Took me twenty years to not sit back or backtrack
They tryna box me in
I ain’t half white or half black
I’m whole me
Slowly, I see the picture wholly
The more that my mind sees
The more that my soul frees (uh huh)
Not what they make me
They will never take me (they won’t)
Lay foundations strong
So the weather never breaks me
Came through yet I shake it up one time (one time)
JessB hit ya with the bomb punchlines (punch lines)
Never shut up unless it be lunchtime (nah)
Fightin’ this system homies on the front lines (yuh)
Yeah we strong and we growin’ (yeah)
We are never slowin’ (yeh)
Power in my spirit yeah we flossin’ and we glowin’ (we are)
Duck that shade yeah you know they steady throwin’ (uhhuh)
I see you been lookin’
But are you really knowin’? (woo)
[Nonso]
Na who send your limits, ha
Never felt the tremors
I left my home in pieces
Boy but do they know
History is seamless, ha
You can’t divide us
We’re building this as dreamers
Boy but do they know
[UXL]
Yuh, yo, yuh, yo
Eyes forward but I keep my bones historical
Forefathers tread around the globe like it is orbital
Bestselling will be wrote by how the story go
We bring what ya know down like a domino
Afro dames and knights with no names
Buried in the ground where I stand proud
With no shame
Black excellence we like a match to propane
Hold ya breath while I throw flames
[Nonso]
Na who send your limits
Oooo, never felt the tremors (No be me)
I left my home in pieces (I never felt the tremors)
Boy but do they know
History is seamless (oooo na na na na o weh o)
You cannot divide us (oooo na na o weh oh o woah)
We’re building this as dreamers (na na na an o weh o)
Boy but do they know (na na na na na o weh oo)
Na who send your limits, ha
Never felt the tremors
I left my home in pieces
Boy but do they know
History is seamless, ha
You can’t divide us
We’re building this as dreamers
Boy but do they know
[UXL]
Yessss
XL, Nonso, JessB
I don’t think they know
Nah, I don’t think they know
Wooooo
