How much further have we gotten did you say?
|
200 years ago we still had slavery and a yellow plague.
|
100 years ago we had our boys in the mines while their wives and children were starving
|
and 40 years ago it took the national guard to let the black kids in public schools
|
|
and you don't think we got it so bad no more,
|
you don't think we got it bad today.
|
|
the greatest nation in the world, as you say, has been at war since I can't remember
|
and miners black lung has been replaced by cancer
|
it takes everyone away
|
well the blacks and whites don't trust each other, you can call it paranoia
|
or affirmative action's reverse psychology
|
that's what it seems like to me
|
|
when the bosses found out we won't take it lying down,
|
they packed up their factories and moved to Mexico,
|
took all the jobs to Mexico.
|
|
and you don't think we got it so bad no more,
|
you don't think we got it bad today.
|
|
i'm not trying to bring nobody down,
|
just saying our fight ain't over yet.
|
|
yeah, today is beautiful
