Luther Jackson green
|
you didn't even in the apartment above me
|
we smoke cigarettes on the stairs
|
tell me stories that whipe boys never hear
|
like when it found the shine
|
can move north in 1949
|
on this gentle..got it took em the talent
|
see the Jackie Robinson play
|
it was a picture perfect day
|
in the sunshine in the hate
|
you didn't understand why those people were said such horrible things
|
his death pays no attention to them
|
turn around to what's a man
|
|
The wood black man in the place bar
|
filled was better in every day
|
my daddy said if you wanna win in this world
|
you gotta beat em at the wrong game
|
|
Luther Jackson green
|
with the lost school 1963
|
in the summer between he worked in Alabama with Martin Luther king
|
he met a girl in the summer night
|
and felt hard when saw each other's eyes
|
there were people down that really didn't like the evil black
|
and she was white
|
|
They found her in the ditch a little outside the town
|
some stupid memories glass in the..so roof ain't beating down
|
he looked me in the eyes..and turned and walked away
|
|
We knew it was better than other pain
|
We knew it was better than other pain
|
We knew that the..when the time to walk away
|
He knew until he changed the rules
|
oh and now he beat it with the wrong game
|
|
He never did lose that feeling inside
|
you can hear it in his voice, you can hear it in his eyes
|
with the move now where's to live
|
when it's right passed away
|
and he's running next door to the son
|
so you're watching..game
|
|
Luther Jackson green
|
watch your legs and that was me
|
and put the black now in the white house
|
I think he never thought it seem
|
could know and ever cry
|
I could see tears in his eyes
|
|
You dreamed about this moment
|
every single day of his life
|
yeah..at night in sleep
|
but it lives long enough to see
|
America become the kind of..
|
all he's wanted it to be
|
he said he could never forget the day
|
that would beat it with the wrong game
|

|
