HISTORY (feat. Paul Gee)

I ain't gonna salute no flag unless the flag salute me

Yo

They tryin to take away our history,

Cause they don’t wanna teach about slavery

Acting like it‘s a big mystery,

Cause They don’t want the world to see

Black men hanging from a pop-lar tree

He just wanted to live, be Free!!!

Lynching, insanity,

Strong Black men, of royalty,

Back in time, we reigned Supreme

Our bloodline, was Kings, and Queens.

His- Tory

(Everybody needs to know about)

His- Tory

Black, Black-idy, black, black, Black, ugh!

Just Teach the truth,

don’t lie to me

Open up the books, so we all can see,

The Deep pain, -and misery

(Caused by White Supremacy)

Just because your burdened, with a violent past,

Don’t hide the books,

just teach the class.

All People have, the right to know,

True his-tory, and what it shows,

Like ,Women violated, we heard their screams,

You had your way, destroyed their dreams

It’s right in there in,

the history books

So we demand, to take a look

His- Tory

(Everybody needs to know about)

His- Tory

Black, Black-idy, black, black, Black, ugh!

We’re proud of all our her-i-tage

“Keep Keeping On,” That’s what we did.

We’ve risen strong, we knew your tricks

You hid it in your

Politics

Truth be told, you can’t deny

we see right thru, those twisted lies

We fought your wars, the way you did,

You don’t wanna teach that to your kids.

We lived on love, prayer, and hope,

Even when we had no right to vote

We wanted to learn to read a book

It was a lawful crime just to look

His- Tory

(History yeah)

His- Tory

Black, Black-idy, black, black, Black, ugh!

Teach the story, about “Jim Crow”

And tell the truth, that we all should know

Tell the story, about “Rosewood”

No jus-tice,

was understood.

Freed slaves, they found a home

They Built a town, for blacks to own

Folks was proud,

Secure, and safe,

Then Jealousy bombs Dropped,

filled with hate.

So much more to read about

Confed-er-acy, throughout the South

Take the books out of our schools, man

How in the hell could you be so cruel

His- Tory

(Everybody needs to know about)

His- Tory

Black, Black-idy, black, black, Black, ugh!

We’re taught in school

“Salute the flag”

Equality we’ve never had

A little known story

That we need to read

“I’ll salute the flag, as the flag salutes me”

A little black boy said that in class

At 11 years old, they sentenced his ass

“Nine years boy you’ll have to do”

“Lock him up!"

You’re through!

But He saw things, he shouldn’t of seen

Like lynching in 1916

But we can change what we can see

So teach the true black History

His-Tory

(Everybody needs to know about)

His-Tory

Black, Black-idy, black, black, Black, ugh!

So Where’s your Chris-ti-an-ity?

Will some people feel uneasy? (maybe)

Steeped in lies hypocrisy

So stop those racist policies

We need for everyone to know

We won’t go back to old Jim Crow

Teach my nationality,

African American History

We need to know, from where we came

Brought in chains

You even changed our names

Banning the books that's not the way

Cause that won’t fly with the kids today

Try to hide knowledge from our youth

They’ll just Google it!

So what’s the use?

His- Tor-y

(Everybody needs to know our)

His- Tor-y)

Black, Black-idy, black, black, Black, ugh!
