GO [Chorus] You will never know, what you could ever be, If you never try, you will never see Stayed in Africa we ain't never leave So there weren't no slaves in our history Weren't no slave ships, wasn't no misery, call me crazy, or is it hate? See I fell asleep and I had a dream, itwas all black, Everything Uh, and we ain't get exploited it White man ain't fear it so he did not destroy it we ain't work for free see they had to employ it built it up together so we equally appointed first 400 years see we actually enjoyed it constitution written by W.E.B DuBois Wasn't no Reconstruction Civil War got avoided Little Black Sambo grows up to be a lawyer Extra Extra on the newsstands Black Woman voted head of Ku Klux Klan Malcolm Little dies as an old man, Martin Luther King read the eulogy for him Songtexte followed by Bill O'Reilly who read from the Koran President Bush sends condolences from Iran where Fox News reports live that Ahmadinejad wins the Mandela Peace Prize [Chorus] uh, and it ain't no projects keeping it real is not an understood concept yeah, complexion's not a contest cause racism has no context Hip Hop ain't got a section called conscious everybody rappin' like crack never happened Crips never occurred, no Bloods to attack then matter of fact, no hood to attack in Somalia's a great place to relax in Fred Astaire was the first to do a back spin the Rat Pack was a cool group of black men that inspired five white guys called the Jacksons Eminem fitted in, but then again he inspired the black rapper trying to mimic him and that's what really rose up out of Michigan, the sign of a white rapper by the name of 50 Cent [Chorus] uh, and I know it's just a fantasy I cordially invite you to ask why can't it be? now we can't do nothing 'bout the past, but we can do something 'bout the future that we have we can make it fast or we can make it last Every woman Queen and every man a King and when those color lines come we can't see between, we just close our eyes 'til it's all black, everything [Chorus] all black everything, yeah all black everything, yeah all black everything, all black everything...
