shazzy - black is a nation lyrics

[intro]
speaker 1: yo what the h+ll are you talking about man?
speaker 2: ahhhhhhh
speaker 1: and now for something completely different

[verse 1]
are you down, cross at the time alike
no was the cry you heard from the battered wives
stop this police echoes long before bonfire
gone with the wind is the model for drug side
kept in the quiet, life from the darkside
who’s only livin’ the door on the wrong side
help is a sound made less than what people hear
fightin’ to live a life that most people fear
trapped in the middle, was raised in the poor
until the next man bought it with blood splattered on it
nevertheless, the poor livin’ poorer
so they will die as the weaker get smaller

[refrain]
black is a…black is a nation
black… black… black is a nation

[verse 2]
pace the picture, posse and white claw
burn the black man that tried to break north
looked in the face of the one that led now
look at the blood that once bled red
a river that flow the pain of misery
once that was to us now a mystery
no shame to the game, refuse to lose
it’s not how you win, it’s the p+wn you choose
bolted with chains, stopped down lock and keys
stopped by a book that said slavery is history
and it was then he was called little black boy
and is it now… null and void?
[refrain]
black… black… black is a nation
black… black… black is a nation

[verse 3]
torn in war by the pain of past
[?] the news and use it to start again
who made it wrong for the poor man to push?
who made it right for the man to be bush?
though we can vote they still call it the white house
when will it be they will call it the black house ?
forced to fight for our country and stand tall
show’em what the man who decided to awol
kissed by a tongue, lashed out with fire
hung on a tree, and choked with a wire
burn down the churches that play to the people
that they were the ones who created the steeple
we were the demons, the ones from the dark side
but who were the slaves who were took from the far side?
in all the time we have lived in oppression
those of the higher fell into depression

[refrain]
black is a nation
black… black is a nation
black is a nation
black is a nation
[verse 4]
look at the shadow walkin’ behind you
look at the past that’s tryin’ to find you
look at the image a mirror will give
an image of only what you ought to live
your skin is the reaper, no [?] is kept
the darker the deeper the scars to get
the man of the lesser is payin’ his dues
the furthest he got was shinin’ your shoes
limit the mom, left nothin’ to gain
the secret is kept, we’re livin’ in pain
h+ll is a place back in the present time
so we will live it all over again in time
we are a people that’s marked by history
a place we are from to us is a mystery
in no book, or no time, in no verse, or no rhyme
will tell us that we are a people of our kind

[refrain]
black is a nation
black… black is a nation
black is a nation
can the drummer get wicked?

[verse 5]
clone of an animal, left is the lower class
given no credit for the years that we kissed ass
just for the purpose of them a tool to use
now is a time that we use the news
martin said once we get to the promised land
they k!lled him off…(who?) the better man
over the years we paid our dues
in this time, in this rhyme i refuse to lose
benjamin franklin had a black lover
abraham lincoln was black undercover
black is all over, covered on news
black is a color that many will use
the doors will be open and black will be free
black is a nation and black is me
[refrain]
black is a nation
black is a nation
black is a nation
black is a nation
black is a… black is a nation
black is a nation
black is a nation
