Black History

作詞:John Prine, Keith Sykes

With evolution comes revolution
With slavery comes freedom
Pick up your history book and see
How my people was able to create

Doctors, lawyers, leaders, soldiers, pro athletes
Entertainers, politicians, entrepreneurs
We came a long way
We got a long way to go

Tell 'em who my people is, y'all know who my people is
Man, they shed so many tears, tell 'em who my people is
Tell 'em who my people is, y'all know who my people is
Man, they shed so many tears, tell 'em who my people is

Tell 'em who my people is, y'all know who my people is
Man, they shed so many tears, tell 'em who my people is
Tell 'em who my people is, y'all know who my people is
Man, they shed so many tears, tell 'em who my people is

From Georgia to Alabama
To Mississippi, they threw him in the slammer
That boy had no right, he tried to live his life
They burned crosses in his yard, just to scare his wife

Thanks to him we dream, January 15
That's why we celebrate Martin Luther King
Times real though, kickers kick no field goals
Harriet Tubman built the underground railroads

Medgar Ever took us to the promised land
While we runnin' round here with guns in our hands
Don't even exercise our right to vote
And blame the government 'cause our people still broke

Young athletes don't know who Babe Ruth is
Bet ya gang bangers know who Snoop is
Booker T. Washington opened up the school doors
Thanks to Frederick Douglas, slavery is no more

Tell 'em who my people is, y'all know who my people is
Man, they shed so many tears, tell 'em who my people is
Tell 'em who my people is, y'all know who my people is
Man, they shed so many tears, tell 'em who my people is

Similar to Besty Coleman, Malcom X
'Cause I'm â€~bout to make history
Like a cold war, I ain't shootin' at the enemy
Why I feel like I'm still livin' up in slavery
I need a strong woman kinda like Ms. Winfrey

Hey baby, hey baby, you could be my baby-ba
If you lookin' for a soldier, I could lead your army Okay-kay-kay
I'm proven I got ready J, if rap was ball, I'll be MJ
We livin' in a world where they still got KKK

I wanna be a leader like True Blackwell
Tell ya teacher I'm here to help, my pants sag but I wear a belt
Police pull us over, then they call their friends for help
Why they need 10 cops? I'm just rollin' by myself

That's a punk mentality, I ain't goin' no where
Try to stop violence, we don't need another Red Scare
No, I got the blood of a king, it's a straight fact
We been down for too long, we 'bout to bounce back

Tell 'em who my people is, y'all know who my people is
Man, they shed so many tears, tell 'em who my people is
Tell 'em who my people is, y'all know who my people is
Man, they shed so many tears, tell 'em who my people is

Tell 'em who my people is, y'all know who my people is
Man, they shed so many tears, tell 'em who my people is
Tell 'em who my people is, y'all know who my people is
Man, they shed so many tears, tell 'em who my people is

Black history, I told y'all we was gonna keep it street
And we gonna learn something at the same time
Now y'all know who I am
And y'all know who my people are

Hip hop history
This only beginnin' of the movement
Ya heard? Take A Stand Records
