fatt kidd - january 31 lyrics
[intro]
martin luther king was a man and he had a dream
the end
[verse 1]
my nephew just started school, i asked him ’bout dr king
he said he was a man and said that he had a dream
equality for all, i said “that’s what it seemed”
i asked him ’bout racism, he said “there’s no such thing”
what? why they focus on the dream so much?
he had other important speeches, they should mean as much
so they teach equality, but never teach the opposite
unless they talking neo-n-z-s, but they skip the politics
and the system built on it, generations follow it
teaching that since integration, bad things do not exist
but they quick to demonize holding black power fist
equality for humans, we were not on the list
so how you teaching all these kids and they believing it?
martin king had a dream, but died never achieving it
you probably racist if you only quote his speech
they only talk about the dream, ’cause when you dream you gotta sleep
wake up

new years eve, black new year

[verse 2]
slavery was bad, but we not talkin’ ’bout that no mo’
’cause y’all so quick to say that “that was so long ago”
nah we ain’t happy ’cause we can ride the bus front row
nah we ain’t happy ’cause yo’ grand daddy finally let us vote
’cause we ain’t voting on a thing that’s helping us
bernie sanders ain’t ’bout to cut a check for us
that’s not a handout, that’s the reason generations of us broke
400 acres and mule is really not a joke
1865, andrew johnson, go read about it
andrew jackson went to war, with the gullah gullah island
that’s the real reason slavery ended, but they pretend that
after 400 years, slavery became offensive
and they teach that to our children, ’cause the truth has been restricted
now m-ssa playing victim
they want us to believe we are a problem, if we fix it, it’s a problem
think i’m lying? then explain the tulsa, oklahoma bombings
a’ight

gon’ let my nephew read something that his teacher gave him at school
he liked to read
he liked school
he liked sports
he became a minister
he had a dream
he had a dream for peace
the end
that’s all we learned about dr king
welcome to new america
[outro]
and i’m so happy tonight
i’m not worried ’bout anything
i’m not fearing any man
my eyes have seen the glory
the coming of the lord
the coming of the lord
black new year
