Visions of the overcoming have been shaded
Dreams of not running are surprisingly faded
Opportunity has now closed and locked its doors
The remainder of life...dragging behind a Ford
Sparks generated from bones rubbing against asphalt
Hands turned back 400 years to legalized racial assault
Lynchings on a maple tree have now been upgraded
to draggings behind a 99 Chevy
Now Camelot has come full circle to this age
Instead of turning the page it has merged with the past
As the medieval acts that outlasted that time
Have infected the minds of the ignorant in the present
Resenting others for color in spite of their thoughts
Our ancestors fought hard so those days would be done
But resurrection has come..Black Easter is here..Persecution has begun
Sit back and witness with indifference
AmeriKa burning down at your front door
with society finishing off the score from a 400 year war
while you're waiting for your turn to walk through the revolving door
being repeatedly race-raped like a corporate whore
and holding hands waiting on a black savior
to deliver you from under the cars floor board
The tire tracks left imprints in the sand
This was not any ordinary man
A father, a teacher, a lover, a friend
How dare you play God
And suspend
Another life
A statistic by far
Scared to confront your fears, so you continue to scar
A race of people, who love at all costs
After years and years and the lives we've lost
Our souls are forgiving, our hearts wide open
It's time to stop running
….And start coping
Coming together with more unity than the armed forces
To wage war
We're Black Knights on Black Horses
"Disgusted but not Surprised" is how the article started
Dragged behind a Ford but my brotha not dearly departed
I pledge allegiance to the flag
Another black man's rights have been dragged
By a group of racist whites
Who hate us because our color is so tight
When will your people ever learn
That Hell is hot
so forever will you burn
for all the things that you have done
against a nation of black people
who will never turn and run
