Turn on my tv
And guess what I see
Bunch of black bodies littered on the street
Treat us like cattle
See us as chattel
Tell me when will I be
A person to you
And good enough for them
To be in accordance
A true citizen
Of a backwards nation
Whose creation
Was made by those they keep in chains
But they always tell me
It ain't so bad
And they always say
Slavery's the past
But if it was so long ago
Why does my grandma remember Jim Crow
And they say
That these days
We're in a much better place
But I see
Reality
So please heed my plea
Keep on fighting
Stop the dividing
We'll keep on going
Until the very end
Keep on pushing
Cus everyone's lookin
Lookin' for us to mess up
Or give up
Or get stuck
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
Keep on fighting
Stop the dividing
We'll keep on going
Until the very end
But they always tell me
It ain't so bad
And they always say
All that is the past
But if it was so long ago
Why does my grandpa remember Jim Crow
And they say
That these days
We're in a much better place
But I see
Reality
So please heed my plea
And they say
That these days
We're in a much better place
But I see
Reality
So please heed my warning
