Common - Black America Again (Feat. Stevie Wonder)

Here we go here
here we go again
Trayvon'll never get
to be an older man
Black children
they childhood stole from them
Robbed of our names
and our language
stole again
Who stole the soul
from black folk
Same man that stole the lamb
from cheap black smoke
And made the whip crackle
on our back slow
And made us go
through the back door
And rap for black bodies
on the slave blocks
Now we slave to the blocks
on 'em we spray shots
Leaving our own
to lay in a box
Black mother's stomachs stay
in a knot
We kill each other
it's part of the plot
I wish the hating will stop war
And the battle with us
I know that black lives matter
and they matter to us
These are the things
we gotta discuss
The new plantation
mass incarceration
Instead of educate
they'd rather convict the kids
As dirty as the water
in Flint the system is
Is it a felony or a misdemeanor
Maria Sharapova making
more than Serena
It took Viola Davis to say this
The rose of the help
and the gangsters is really
all they gave us
We need Avas
Ta Nehisis
and Corey Bookers
The salt of the Earth
to get us off of sugar
And greasy foods
I don't believe the news
Or radio stereotypes we refuse
Brainwashed in the cycle to spin
We write our own story
black America again
You know
One way of solving
a lot of problems
we got is to let a person feel
like somebody
and a man can't get himself together
until he knows who he is
and be proud of what
and who he is
and where he come from
and where he come from
We are rewriting
the black American story
