Your rating:



Tell the truth, y'all, gotta gotta tell the truth

Tell the truth, y'all, U gotta gotta tell the truth

We wanna talk about family names 2night

Excuse me sir, what's your family name? (Gershvin)

's not bad

We gon' change your name 2night

Your new name is "Blackburn"

U cool with that? Ehh

What's your name Madame? (Rebecca!)

And what's your last name, Rebecca? ([Shechler])

Ah, we gon' give U a new name 2night, Rebecca - "Outlaw" (Whoo!)

"Rebecca Outlaw"

What's your name? (Rushbull)

We gonna change your name to ah, "Lynch"

Work with it, clap your hands y'all, clap your hands 

Lord, Lord

Talkin' about family names 2night

If U wanna go higher, then we got 2 get deep

If U wanna go higher oh, then we got 2 get deep

Portland, U still with me 2night? 



Mirror, mirror what U see?

Have I still got those dark clouds over me? 

Am I still feeling what I feel?

The last days of the devil's deal 

Oh mirror, yeah, what U see? 



Devil, devil what U know?

U been here since 1914, but now U got 2 go 

U been hidin' behind corporate eyes 

U wanna war, but U can't fight

Oh devil, devil, U got 2 go



Uh bridge...

U might say, "what U mad about?"

But U still got your family name 

Pleased 2 meet U, Mr. Rosenbloom

I'll be John Blackwell, oh yes, just the same 

What's your family name? 



Talk 2 me

Teacher, teacher what U say?

Did we really come over in a boat? 

Did it really go down that way?

Did I arrive before U and ruin Thanksgiving Day? 

Oh teacher, what U say? 



Preacher, preacher is it true?

That Jesus wants me 2 give my money 2 the likes of U?

Watch out

Ridin' around in your Lexus coupe

Take us 2 the cleaners in a pinstripe suit 

Oh preacher, that ain't truth! (U know it ain't)

Watch me now (Yes)



Bridge...

U might say, "what U mad about?

But U still got your family name, oh yes

Pleased 2 meet U, Mr. Pearlman

U can call me "Cassius Clay"

Can I play? 



What's your family name?

Can anybody get in the game?

Watch it now!

Sound, Violet Brown, ow!



U might say "what U mad about?"

But U still got your family name 

Pleased 2 meet U Mr. Goldstruck, ow!



We found this tape in the Akashic records

This is Thomas Jefferson: 

"My fellow Americans, yes, I owned slaves, 2

And if there's a just God, we're gonna pay 4 this!" 



"Black men and White men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics

will be able 2 join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual:
