Don't wanna do sh** anymore
What da f** am I still livin for
Won some battles but feel I'm losing the war
Oh o woo oh
Been tryna raise the black flag for so long
'S been on the ground and been gettin trampled on
Saw this & thought to myself "that is so wrong;
It should be high in the sky waving strong"
So I set out to find how it fell down
Maybe then I could get it off the ground
Cuz it's too beautiful to stay down
So I tried to rally all the folk around
I said, "Come on folks please help me out
Cuz this flag need to fly up in them clouds
Where it belongs, it would make us so proud
Heads high, lookin up & not down."
I said, "I figured out how our flag fell
And it began with the defeat of black males
And accepting a system not of ourselves
And entrustin our conquerors with our health"
You know they say we just got "bad genes"
That's why we're "victims of all these bad things; and
No, it's not genetic engineering;
And no, it's not because we're polluting
It can't be anything that we're doing
We're your saviours, just look at the cross thing."
Then my people said, "You know, Pat, you're right
But guess what, we still won't put up a fight
'Cause we got cable tv;
And, at this point in time, we live so comfortably
We got a little j**elry
Some name-brand sneaks
We get a vacation every year for two weeks
Got a nice ride
Maybe even two
I got it with this money that I borrowed from a Jew
Got a decent place
Yes this is true
Pay it 4 times over once the interest is accrued
(I) Wanna have a kid
Would like to have a few, But can barely make ends meet on income of two
And some might say, "No, it's just you."
But, everywhere I look
People are struggling, too
And it makes me want to wave
The white flag
'Cause I been beaten up just way
Too bad
Don't think there's nothin more that I can say
I'll wave this white flag & go on
About my day
