They keep statistics on the gifted young and black
They put out statistics people read em, act like they been given fact
That they've been given lean when they been giving fat

from Homeboy Sandman – Illuminati Lyrics on Rap Genius

Meaning

Statistics would say people of African descent are genetically less intelligent than those of Caucasian or Asian descent…but statistics can be easily manipulated and can’t accurately control for other factors (e.g. environment) However many people take these statistics and see them as the real truth, despite their flawed nature.
