that flag
sparks something in me
every time I see it
it just does something to me
it takes me back
to when the whip
used to go crack!!! crack!!! crack!!!
it takes me back
to when necks
used to go snap!!! snap!!! snap!!!
that flag
that you so willingly claim
proves to me
that there's no shame
in your game
it lets me know
one or two things
either you know
or you don't know
either way
your ignorance continues to show
that flag
that damn flag
is a symbol of hatred and oppression
embedded in the minds of my people
from generation to generation
you say it's a representation of bravery
I say a representation of slavery
you say it's for ancestors who died in the war
I ask you what were they fighting for
that flag
that motherf***ing flag
waved freely back in the day
by those who wanted slavery alive and well
waved freely back in the day
by those who wanted my people living in hell
waved freely til this day
by those that are mad cause we made it
waved freely til this day
by those that don't really know and just wanna wear it
that
damn
flag
