lyrics

What will it take
What will it take what will it take

What will it have to rain
to dry the muskets up again
you hear them saying
that nothing here is right
why are sitting here
mommy you have seen this life
grandma you wisdom righteous
as nothing on up top
how did the fists go downward
not make the dirty stop
who is jesse jackson when apple's taking slaves
who is obama when kidnapping's okay
can we yes backwards into a better place
read abolitionist scripture
and see our fucking face
look at three children all of a different race
give them all resources and give them equal space
and watch them draw the picture of iridescent place
where god don't make us angry
and the government is blake
I mean
black
people
don't rap about nature
like mountains
like hatred
like torture
like
like i really really like you too
and we all came from the same goo
and nature says that's where we shall return
and if we chop down all the trees then the planet will burn
and i know that the government use drones to murder motherfuckers
in their motherfucking homes
and i know that the motherfucking press don't say that fucking shit
