Come A Long Way |
| So we come a long way from the chains and the cane fields |
| A long way from the back o' the bus |
| Shoulda brought along a little map for the travelling |
| Seems we’ve come a long way from us |
| Squander our money waiting on reparation, |
| never make plans for retirement day |
| Who’s to be blamed for our lack of preparation now we done spent every dime of |
| our pay |
| On big pimping, flossing every dollar |
| we’ve got on the much less fortunate |
| Small thinking got us bound tighter |
| than the chains that we try to forget |
| Tell me now malcom, do we hurt you pride? |
| Can you hear me now rosa, |
| was it worth the ride? |
| Can you see me now marcus |
| we’re still not unified, no we’re not |
| So tell me now martin, is this why you died? |
| So we’ve come a long way from picking cotton, many never thought they’d live to |
| see the day when bush pick rice But if all you’ve become is another house nigga |
| baby tell me was it worth all the sacrifice |
| Get outa my way while i climb to the top now but be sure to catch me if i fall |
| from grace |
| Cause heaven forbid |
| if what i chase should reject me |
| You know i’m gonna need a warm black embrace |
| We used to stack guns, prepare for revolution |
| Was the only way of getting wrong put right |
| Now we think all our problems |
| can be solved with shooting |
| And we’ve forgot why we started to fight |
| Tell me now malcom, do we hurt you pride? |
| Can you hear me now rosa, |
| was it worth the ride? |
| Can you see me now marcus |
| we’re still not unified, no we’re not |
| So tell me now martin, is this why you died? |
| So we belittle we bredda so we can seem bigger |
| Now we so damn proud fi call we self nigga |
| And being a bad man is good thing |
| Now being a good man is a bad thing |
| So it’s rich or poor, black or white |
| Sit and be trampled or get up and fight |
| After so many years it’s still hard to adjust |
| Even when the front is empty we still move to the back of the bus |
| Tell me now malcom, do we hurt you pride? |
| Can you hear me now rosa, |
| was it worth the ride? |
| Can you see me now marcus |
| we’re still not unified, no we’re not |
| So tell me now martin, is this why you died? |
