The whole world is watching The whole world is watching Something in my family tree is rotten Ancestors so grotesque Plans of destiny to go west Manifest bleeds protest 10 million rest in peace below depths Oh no Oh yes No struggle no progress Bend the rules run the jewels 40 acres and a mule and no less Who claims to know best though Who's trained to protect those Some of those who burn crosses also arraign and arrest those Some of those current losses this fiscal year are exceptional They've got more guns than destro Make you disappear like presto I wrote this rap to pray For another life castaway Now that's more settlement cash to pay But that won't bring daddy back today That's just more petals at the grave The moonlight saw that display So what more can I do my God When there's nothing left to say Meet me at the gate and sing kumbaya Scheming for a way to stay up Dreaming of the day I wake up Momma was a bloody knuckled valedictorian Poppa was a comet from the quarry and tobacco fields Cover me in notes of old hickory and moses The cotton linen blends the benefits of forbidden yields Black feet move without reservations Our bodies wall the streets We resume our occupations Claims of common sense More cautious than caucasian condiments Black cowboys are real But they ain't myths Black avengers show up before the crowd'll get pissed And the milk goes as sour as a counterfeit kiss We can still make a pound of biscuits Get some fish And feed a crowd of misfits Where the lyricists spit The merits of the heretic Is where the patriot lives And we hate to relive What it takes to forgive Can't forget what we did Better yet let's amend To protect next of kin By accepting our sins
