so I close by quoting the words of an old negro slave preacher
who didn't quite have his grammar and diction right
but who uttered words of great symbolic profundity
"Lord, we ain't what we wanna be, we ain't what we oughta be, we ain't what we gonna be...but thank god, we ain't what we was"
May God Bless The United States of America
fat man’s lying in the White House
His tiny fingers tap the glass
the cuck’s a coward
such a small man
go ahead; skip the taxes take the cash
yeah but blind ain’t me so I disagree
What’s yours you have taken from We, man
children of God we’re all born free
if you agree then take a knee
with me
if you agree they’re all born free
if you agree then take a knee
with me
if you believe we’re all born free
baby, we can’t be
long as shit ain’t free
you can take it from me, man
you can thank god for the government
[you can thank
you can thank god]
baby, we can’t be
long as shit ain’t free
you can take it from me, man
you can thank god for the government
[you can thank
you can thank god]
By admitting on the one hand that, we have made many significant strides over the last few years on the problems in the United States
tried to listen when she told me
I knew nothing once before
friends all jumped to join the army
but knew nothing of the war
yeah but blind ain’t free
so I don’t believe
that god can lift my sins from me, man
I wanna see if money bleeds
if you believe then take a knee
with me
if you believe we’re all born free
baby, we can’t be
long as shit ain’t free
you can take it from me, man
you can thank god for the government
and the other thing when we think of this economic problem
we must think of the fact that there is nothing more dangerous
than to build a society with a segment in that society
that feels it has no stake in the society
life is little more than a long and desolate corridor
they were brought there against their will
we have come a long way,
you can thank
you can thank god
but we have a long long way to go
baby, we can’t be
long as shit ain’t free
you can take it from me, man
you can thank god for the government
I'm not talking about, a weak love
the struggle for racial justice
and the problems in the United States
with the birth of slavery it became necessary to give some justification for it
you know it seems to be a fact of life that human beings cannot continue to do wrong
thank you.
god bless you.
may god continue to bless the United States Of America.
