Some are begining to call me a racist
and maybe I am,
and it's just coming out in my old age.
But the truth is the light.
If loving right makes me a racist then I am a racist.
If hating wrong makes me a racist then I am a racist.
I truely believe that if the law of old was to be restored:
As and Eye for an Eye,
and it was passed by,
there would be less blacks in prison,
less graves to be dug
less prison to be needed.
The Blacks has never been allowed to fight back
and now they are fighting they are fighting each other.
The cops can't find the drive byers,
the shooters that kill and lame
but shoot or lame a white man or cop
names are pulled from the air.
as for laming or killing a Black the system
just does not care.
The White man will accept and approve of any kind of lie,
if the liar isn't black with nappy haired.
Hang em, beat em, shoot em, they don't care.
but an eye for an eye isn't really closed
It's yet alive wide open and yet alive
if you touch one of em whites, hurt one of em,
or fight back.
They will see through walls, climb mountains,
jump out of planes
hunt down, guilty or innocent,
they will do as promise to bring somebody down.
Is he the devil or demons or what?
Been ruling this earth for centuries so it seems.
My grandma Mama Sue was 114 when she left this old world
never known nothing but the law the white man passed.
My Mama spoke of them as devils until she couldn't speak no more.
Now I am nearing the end of my time,
they are yet ruling, controling, lynching and taking lives.
The young man Nick I spoke to the other day
is begining to question is there a Christ.
I know it is..
I hold no doubt.
so all I can do is pray the truth comes out.
So glad, so glad God got the last say.
If I am a racist I hide it well, I hide it from me too
Is he is a devil or isn't he?
Some are beging to call me a racist and maybe I am,
and it's just coming out in my old age.
But the truth is the light.
All my life I have tried to be on the side of right.
but now I just don't know if my right is right
or if my wrong is wrong.
the white man wins no matter what.
If loving right makes me a racist then I am a racist.
If hating wrong makes me a racist then I am a racist.
I truely believe that if the law of old was to be restored:
An Eye for an Eye
Most of my people would live and less would die.
Is the white man the devil or die my old folks just lie?
