All Black Everything |
| You would never know |
| If you could ever be |
| If you never try |
| You would never see |
| Stayed in Africa |
| We ain’t never leave |
| So there were no slaves |
| In our history |
| Were no slave ships |
| Were no misery |
| Call me crazy |
| Or isn’t he? |
| See I fell asleep |
| And I had a dream |
| It was all black everything |
| And we ain’t get exploited |
| White man ain’t feared so he did not destroy it |
| We ain’t work for free, see they had to employ it |
| Built it up together so we equally appointed |
| First 400 years, see we actually enjoyed it |
| Constitution written by W.E.B. |
| Du Bois |
| Were no reconstructions, Civil War got avoided |
| Little black Sambo grows up to be a lawyer |
| Extra extra on the news stands |
| Black woman voted head of Ku Klux Klan |
| Malcolm Little dies as an old man |
| Martin Luther King read the eulogy for him |
| Followed by Bill O’Reilly who read from the Quran |
| President Bush sends condolences from Iran |
| Where Fox News reports live |
| That Ahmadinejad wins the Mandela Peace Prize |
| You would never know |
| If you could ever be |
| If you never try |
| You would never see |
| Stayed in Africa |
| We ain’t never leave |
| So there were no slaves |
| In our history |
| Were no slave ships |
| Were no misery |
| Call me crazy |
| Or isn’t he? |
| See I fell asleep |
| And I had a dream |
| It was all black everything |
| And it ain’t no projects |
| Keeping it real is not an understood concept |
| Yeah, complexion’s not a contest |
| 'Cause racism has no context |
| Hip-hop ain’t got a section called «Conscious» |
| Everybody rappin' like crack never happened |
| Crips never occurred no Bloods to attack them |
| Matter of fact no hood to attack in |
| Somalia is a great place to relax in |
| Fred Astaire was the first to do a backspin |
| The Rat Pack was a cool group of black men |
| That inspired five white guys called The Jacksons |
| Eminem fitted in but then again |
| He inspired a black rapper trying to mimic him |
| And that’s what really rose up out of Michigan |
| The sounding-white rapper by the name of 50 Cent |
| You would never know |
| If you could ever be |
| If you never try |
| You would never see |
| Stayed in Africa |
| We ain’t never leave |
| So there were no slaves |
| In our history |
| Were no slave ships |
| Were no misery |
| Call me crazy |
| Or isn’t he? |
| See I fell asleep |
| And I had a dream |
| It was all black everything |
| And I know it’s just a fantasy |
| I cordially invite you to ask why can’t it be? |
| Now we can do nothing 'bout the past |
| But we can do something about the future that we have |
| We can make it fast or we can make it last |
| Every woman queen and every man a king and |
| When those color lines come we can’t see between |
| We just close our eyes 'til it’s all black everything! |
| You would never know |
| If you could ever be |
| If you never try |
| You would never see |
| Stayed in Africa |
| We ain’t never leave |
| So there were no slaves |
| In our history |
| Were no slave ships |
| Were no misery |
| Call me crazy |
| Or isn’t he? |
| See I fell asleep |
| And I had a dream |
| It was all black everything |
