jaleel jones jr - recon$truction rap lyrics
you are now about to witness the strength of historical knowledge
they gave us 40 acres
they gave us a mule
high percentage of dyin’ man
you couldn’t refuse
at lease grant won the vote
that’s what they would say
with bein’ black and all
i could die any day
the endangerment of blacks
with all this wild violence
a riot caused by white haters
just make some compromises
we thought it was all over
then the ku klux came along
reppin’ white supremacy
grant saw nothing wrong
well i did i saw it
but my opinion ain’t mean squat
all they had to do was book them
maybe arrest them for life
they gave us 30 acres
they gave us a mule
we said we don’t want this
but they gave us more tools
we said we want out
and they charged us for ever grain
so we stayed in the cotton field
so we can try to feed our fam
when 500k black men voted
the whites were in shock
thus began a racist up-war
where the black guy gets shot
we thought threats from white supremacist
was only just a threat
but now that i look back
the reconstruction was not a success
