J.Truman - The Answer Lyrics

Dear America, we're aware of our heritage
We were stripped away from original continents
Brought our people to this colony on Dutch ships
And enforced us to obey you with the politics
Needed labor done so we became the servants
And if we didn't do it, you would hit us with the whips
The constitution only labeled us as three-fifths
Giving others the thought to become so prejudice
Seen as property, our families were forced to split
Never had the chance to give your blood a last kiss
Dehumanized, we barely had a f*cking pot to piss
Plantations, where it seemed like we were hopeless
Severely punished if we attempted for betterment
So we were discrete about religion and activist
Mainly in the south, we had to face this madness
Dealing with some shit you cant't even imagine
After the civil war, we started a celebration
Had a taste of freedom after doing emancipation
But the Jim Crow laws became the new declaration
Advocating that blacks and whites needed separation
How the f*ck we equal, but dealing with segregation?
My people fighters so you know it's going to be confrontation
They refused to give up their seats on the transportation
At a time, where America was super racist
Blood on the leaves just because of violations
Battle for equality, we're tired of being patient
Bold leaders, man, it led to assassinations
The courage and charisma of my people is amazing
History shows it's problems that we're always facing
Now today, we're dealing with the mass incarceration
Started with President Nixon and Ronald Reagan
Too many of my brothers in that prison population
Yeah, but we prevail, we will prosper, amen
