I come from a middle town Pigment there there's little found The talks i got were cursory Dispersed with me and spit me out Just equipped with privilege now Ignorance just spillin out Probably taught the story only If the writer isn't brown Nowadays it's different Ears are open listening To the plight and fight for rights that i had long been given it's A racist rage just simmerin Some saw this as imminent Backlash to a black man or this land up to its tricks again? Another deep dive in the dna Another white guy that'll lead the way Another blind eye to the seeds of hate Like all of em died when they freed the slaves All of em died and we'll be ok While cops are ok to blow teens away Confederate flags still being waved Senators say they wanna see some hang For old times sake (f*ck you) Take america back You're wearing your hat That'll one day symbolize all of it Slow down now they're cautioning Those harsh words lets soften them But Doctor King wasn't softening to win the hearts and minds of white moderates And their tolerance of intolerance Makin bank on backs you can bank on that They say the same as gramps boy it takes ya back The roots under that tree yeah they go wide and deep Black man in that white house some said finally Gone now Everybody calm down Didn't see the fallout How could we be so Could we be so Could we be so wrong now Aware and there a Place to start Progress aint a process started by the faint of heart I thought it's not my place It's everybody's place though Discussion got you blushing Ain't no runnin from race for Another of some color That's a struggle every day so We won't run away Undertake some of this weight yo Its heavy on the nation, generations plundered Undercurrent raging, tryin to take ya under Makes em wonder, no it doesn't, mother fuckers don't discuss it Now they're fussin with the budget like how can we make it tougher on the other? The sheets weren't burned just thrown in closets With hate they'll flirt to grow the profits They chose their prophet Condone his nonsense White grievance pulls the pieces into a whole composite Incessant with the hate meant for seven in the bay Got the outrage on a loop, 45's just pressing play Revels in the mess he made, glad to pull apart lives The bluster makes the structure ask the central park five Makin bank on backs you can bank on that They say the same as gramps boy it takes ya back The roots under that tree yeah they go wide and deep Black man in that white house some said finally Gone now Everybody calm down Didn't see the fallout How could we be so Could we be so Could we be so wrong now Aware and there a Place to start Progress aint a process started by the faint of heart
