- Octavia Lyrics / with translations[Verse 1]
Don't ever let a textbook scare you
You the missing piece, OG technology, they stole you
Don't ever let 'em knock the way you talk
The language you evolve your natural genius
Merch it
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
[Chorus]
I'm the truth, I am a fact
They lie on me, I have to laugh
I write it down, it happens next
So be it, see to it
(Their science is a-lyin' on me and you
That don't make it true)
I'm the truth, I am a fact
They lie on me, I have to laugh
I write it down, it happens next
So be it, see to it
(Their science is a-lyin' on me and you
That don't make it true)
[Post-Chorus]
(Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
[Verse 2]
It used to be the worst crime to write a line
Our great great greats risked their lives, learned letters fireside
Like a seat on a bus, like a heel in a march
Like we holdin' a torch, it's our inheritance
They tease our pronunciations then try to mimic our greatness
We are a precious creation, our black has no imitation
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
[Chorus]
I'm the truth, I am a fact
They lie on me, I have to laugh
I write it down, it happens next
So be it, see to it
(Their science is a-lyin' on me and you
That don't make it true)
I'm the truth, I am a fact
They lie on me, I have to laugh
I write it down, it happens next
So be it, see to it
(Their science is a-lyin' on me and you
That don't make it true)
Don't ever let a textbook scare you
You the missing piece, OG technology, they stole you
Don't ever let 'em knock the way you talk
The language you evolve your natural genius
Merch it
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
[Chorus]
I'm the truth, I am a fact
They lie on me, I have to laugh
I write it down, it happens next
So be it, see to it
(Their science is a-lyin' on me and you
That don't make it true)
I'm the truth, I am a fact
They lie on me, I have to laugh
I write it down, it happens next
So be it, see to it
(Their science is a-lyin' on me and you
That don't make it true)
[Post-Chorus]
(Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
