歌曲歌詞
Lift every voice and sing
Yeah but we gon' lift every fist and swing
So save the negro spiritual
It's 1992 and n**gaz need a miracle
And no more song and dance
Like we shall overcome and ain't got a chance
Y'all stuck on
I have a dream
Need to put the picket sign down and get on the team
Stand up and do somethin
Stop beggin for a meal
'Cause everything is real
N**ga look at yourself
You in hell
Claimin wel fare or should I say fare well
Mr Christian you was too spooky
Now Bush wanna slave and Russia wanna nuke me
And the most you can tell me is love thy enemy
Stay off the Hennesey
Pops I want freedom so hand me the nine
You can pray for yours but I'ma go get mine
Now how long has it been
For a hundred and thirty seven years but neva again
God bless America
But for what
How 'bout God d**n America
The slut yeah
Now I can name that tune
'Cause the land of the free is sellin negroes at noon
But how soon we forget
Mention the holocaust
N**gaz have a fit
Sorry it's real but I'm fresh out of tears
'Cause lynch that n**ga's still ringin in my ears
I want freedom
Justice
Equality
I***m
So it's hard to keep calm
When I'm accused of bein racist for lovin my people first
Now they wanna put me in a hearse
But black people never made white slaves
And we was too lovin to put Jews in a oven
But the pilgrims wasn't so friendly then
And by the way I never ate a Indian
So who's the real savage
Six feet tall on the average
Mark the number of the God d**n beast
To the East my brother to the
East say neva again
Oh say can y'all see
It's the home of the slave
Land of the never free
America me the so called negro
With another verse so here we go
As long as y'all been givin me hell
No wonder there's a crack in the Liberty Bell
To tell on America the beautiful
The b**ch need a facelift
For this race myth
And now for you to pull a caper
Kidnap rape her
The penalty is death
'Cause we ain't forgave or forgot
Blacks bein murdered
Tortured and shot
Six hundred million
One eighty sevens
It's bringin wrath down from the heavens
So let my people go Pharoahe
The arrow
Is point at your dome
And if we don't make it home
Cancel Christmas
Like EPMD we got some
Unfinished business
From way back
Payback for your sin
So paleskin
Tell a friend
Never again
I want freedom
Justice
Equality
I***m
So it's hard to keep calm
When I'm accused of bein racist for lovin my people first
Now they wanna put me in a hearse
But black people never made white slaves
And we was too lovin to put Jews in a oven
But the pilgrims wasn't so friendly then
And by the way I never ate a Indian
So who's the real savage
Six feet tall on the average
Mark the number of the God d**n beast
To the East my brother to the
East say neva again
Oh say can y'all see
It's the home of the slave
Land of the never free
America me the so called negro
With another verse so here we go
