Lyrics Evil Knievil - David Banner, Ernestine Johnson

Evil Knievil

They gave us Obama like\nIt was gonna stop the fight\nLike it was gonna stop the cause\nFolks still scraping\nTrying to find them some socks and drawers\nAnd something to eat\nThe IRS is coming so I’m back on these beats!\nBarack pushed hope, Reagan pushed dope\nClinton pushed something down a young gal’s throat\nYah, and since we talking about throats\nWhite folks, what do you know about ropes?\nYah, what you know about trees\nAnd men swinging from them, that look like me?!\nHow do you say that don’t affect us?\nTuskegee, how you let them infect us?\nIt’s fear of the black semen\nPutting sage on this page to eradicate these demons\nThis for Tulsa, Oklahoma, this for Rosewood!\nThis for Philly when the cops bombed the whole hood\nThis for Harlem when the pigs stop and frisk\nAll my folks from the Congo tell Belgium suck a, suck a\nBoy Wonder? No, I meant Dick Grayson\nI’m essential like the Moors were to the Masons\nThe Kush, the black push\nAborigines I love you, take back the bush\nOh, we are back on presidents\nGeorge was so irrelevant\nBut he did send the country to hell\nAnd a lot of black folks to jail\nIf we are blind, that’s fine\nI’ll mime then I’ll spit it in braille\nDrop an F-bomb in cursive, and put that whore in the mail\nP.O's they are about to shut down\nI was on my way to Heaven then I stopped and turned around\nThe government yeah, it did shut down!\nI was on my way to Heaven but I stopped and turned around for my people!\nI try to never leave you!\nThis is a war against evil… Knievil\nLifetime of pain you can’t wash away these stains\nYou can’t soak me in a tub full of bleach\nAnd brighten the shadows you left on my past\nOr lighten those dark stones you placed on my path\nWhere is the love? Mentally institutionalized by a nation plotting our demise\nSickness is created for our numbers to be cut\nLove, it is like you are staring at us with your eyes wide shut!\nLove? What love? Where are you?
