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
|
