digital underground railroad - rap turner nation lyrics

[intro: harriet snubman]

i mean if you look on tv man! and you just see, how blacks be acting and you think man, we just animals!
and if you look on your news, we shootin’ each other everyday. were acting like fools, and it’s almost impossible to sift through all of that* to see the truth. the realism, the realize, the real life in reality, ya know
but if you put on your historical and anthropological glasses, you might be able to see more clear, and judge the left from the right and the wrong from the right. uh huh

[verse 1: huey shootin’ & harriet snubman]

i live in the society, where it’s seem the laws be denying me equality, keep they eye on me and spying on me
it’s like some people want us to do bad
it’s real sad, but blacks be actin’ real gritty in the hardcore was city
it’s a pity school closures and lead exposure
how we supposed to survive in this environment? the iron gets hotter in the summer. it’s a bummer. when the lighting bang and strike, best belive it ain’t the thunder!
it makes me wonder. was it all by design
to free your body, but trap your mind?
as we let the schools define and teach it. it seems all blacks were slaves in the time of the colonial period
but in 1624 william tucker was born, in virginia a free man. but understand! free negroes were here much earlier than that
1603 mathieu da costa a free black, an explorer, guiding the french
parlez*vous français? no way!

but most sources fail to show us, 30 africans explored the pacific with balboa
1513 before america was born, so let knowledge be born!

[chorus: the freedom singers]
before i be a slave, i’ll be buried in my grave and go home to my lord and be free. oh freedom!

[verse 2: huey shootin’]
see if we let the conquerors tell it, history remains a mystery
but if you wanna get on the magic school bus, read they came before columbus by ivan van sertima
i’d rather be malcolm x than crispus attuks
you know we legendary for causin’ static. bring those history books out the attic
we need more billie holiday, carmen mcrae, pearl bailey, eartha kitt
black singers, actresses* legendary
put a black fist in the air like sncc!
if marvin was alive, he’d wanna know what’s going on with flint!

images of how i live. i can’t get it out of my head like dandruff
push power*forward on bucks like dandridge
make you wanna fight the power like panthers!

[chorus:]
before i be a slave, i’ll be buried in my grave and go home to my lord and be free
oh freedom! oh freedom!
oh freedom! over me

[verse 3: huey shootin’]
so much has changed since the days of the bondage slave
the talented 10th have a hard time paying his rent!
always remember the little rock 9
high school students k!lled over racial lines. or would you like the spill your blood like vietnam?
your nightmare my dream, so i ride to my freedom
it might be the time to shower from the funk or the black power! me and angela about the free martin at the top of the hour!

[chorus:]

oh freedom! oh freedom!
oh freedom!
before i be a slave, i’ll be buried in my grave and go home to my lord and be free
