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 ©2015 PEYSONIC MUSIC, LLC
