He lived two train stops away |
|
I was a train ride away from heaven |
|
We signify about politics, low income housing birth control and abortion |
|
The capitalistic hand around my throat |
|
Shootin'up dope to cope in this dehumanizing society |
|
We both found god when he o.d'd |
|
He found beauty in my black skin |
|
Amidst the cover girls and clairol ads |
|
Makin'no mistake what's white is right |
|
Livin'in a world where the tv shouts |
|
"forget where you come from!" |
|
And damn i thought i was shootin'up africa in my veins |
|
White man voodoo slow my brain the while man fights wars and enslaves |
|
All in god's name |
|
What ya trying to achieve with your sun tan lotion |
|
You wanna keep me down keep me down |
|
Revolution against this racist institution |
|
The white man shall forever sleep with one eye open |
|
Dehumanize me. |
|
Criticize, set aside. |
|
Livin'in the midst of genocide i hear voices voices are what i hear |
|
Uprise would you die for your right |
