Yo, listen up, let me tell you a story
'Bout the pain and the struggle, it ain't no glory
Tuskegee, where they did us so wrong
Left us in the dark, didn't know what's going on
Back in '32, they started the game
C study they said, but it brought us shame
Untreated syphilis, we bore the pain
No cure in sight, just sufferin' in vain
(hook)
Tuskegee, oh, the scars run deep
In the land of the free, they played us cheap
Tuskegee, oh, the scars run deep
In the land of the free, they played us cheap
(v 2)
COINTELPRO, they watched our every move
Tryna silence the voices that had something to prove
From civil rights to the pulse of the street
They tried to crush the spirit, but couldn't defeat
FBI's dirty games, they tried to frame
Discredit and disrupt, but we ain't the same
We rise above, like a phoenix from the flame
Our voices will be heard, we won't be tamed
(hook)
Tuskegee, oh, the scars run deep
In the land of the free, they played us cheap
Tuskegee, oh, the scars run deep
In the land of the free, they played us cheap
(talking)
Now we're in the modern era, still fighting the fight
Speaking truth to power, igniting the light
We remember the past, but we look to the future
With a fire in our hearts, we're the ultimate truther
(hook)
Tuskegee, oh, the scars run deep
In the land of the free, they played us cheap
Tuskegee, oh, the scars run deep
In the land of the free, they played us cheap
