o'hene savant - mr. backlash lyrics

verse 1:
this is a freedom song, freedom to lead them on
never saw freedom dawn ’til i put nina on
’til i read langston hughes, i was fed langston’s views
though i became confused, that’s when i faced the truth
government policies gots to be our degree
that’s when i found out they lied to me, lied to me
that’s what lincoln did, that’s what johnson did
matter fact in the white house ain’t n-body been positive
bush got a lot of cribs, could save a lot of kids
even if his home is homelessness now why is this?
that’s ‘cause republicans aren’t really struggling
those that are democrat mainly the colored men
now see the liberals pretty much other men
pretty much other than cool with the government
it’s like smiley said, come with a covenant
‘cause in a minute black folks will be tired of putting up with this

chorus (sheda b):
mr. backlash, mr. backlash
i work hard as i can
mr. backlash, mr. backlash
and i got nothing out of it
i’m gonna leave you
i’m gonna leave you with backlash blues

verse 2:
now, look at the tax go up, now see the gas go up
forty bucks that’s for the car, how you gon’ gas your truck?
many cats drive to work, plenty cats out of work
that’s what i call backlash, folks this is how it works
first we empower jerks, play into our church
changing the father’s words, hating on outer turfs
now we at war with them, thought we was on the helm
thought we had cornered them, faulty intelligence?
that was intelligent? then what would stupid be?
y’all be confusing me, you shouldn’t be ruling me
where are the terror alerts? ain’t no more red and orange
ain’t no more threats of harm now the election’s gone
when we gon’ leave iraq? when it’s time for iran?
where we get our allies from? ain’t gon’ be no more friends
ain’t no more u dot n
c’mon now people with the mind of napoleon
do not win, see it’s true i’ve been

chorus (sheda b):
mr. backlash, mr. backlash
i work hard as i can
mr. backlash, mr. backlash
and i got nothing out of it
i’m gonna leave you
i’m gonna leave you with backlash blues
