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

Mm hmm[00:00:04]

Uncle Usi taught me[00:00:10]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Oh here he go[00:01:18]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Really[00:03:23]

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

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

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

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

Watch where you go[00:03:34]

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

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

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

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