Yours and My Children
Right here dangerous idea
If we did this, then we couldn¹t feel fear
If there¹s no fear, there¹s no control
If there¹s no control, someone¹s gotta let go
They say I Shouldn¹t say too much they might delete me
Realize I don¹t really care about tv
Keep your awards, your applause I¹m easy
All I can do in this life is just be me
Pilger can say it, so can Niomi Kline
It's free speech for them, that¹s fine
Young black rapper should utter the same words
Utterly absurd, nutter, insane, nerd
Even the fact I call myself Œblack¹
Social conditioning and that¹s a fact
The idea of races has no factual basis
It was made just to serve racists
To justify to doing to some what couldn¹t be done
To others, but they all are our sons
Black or white all of our sons
Muslim, Christian all of our sons
Look up in the sky that¹s all of our Sun
Last time I checked we only had one
So if some were superior, others inferior, based on exterior
Well then surely the sun would know and fall in to line?
It would rain on your crops and not mine?
Air would prefer to inhabit your lungs?
Food would prefer the taste of your tongue?
If that¹s not the case then nature has declared
Despite what we say the worlds in fact fair
Chorus:
Kids in Iraq Yours and my children
Kids in Iran
Yours and my children
Afghanistan Yours and my children
Even Sudan
Yours and my children
Kids in brazil
Yours and my children
Police drive by the favela and just kill them
Kids in brazil
Yours and my children
Police drive by the favela and just kill them
