Don't you get tired
Of listening to the cover up
Sounds like a broken old record
When the needle gets stuck
You got your media honeys
Using their TV voice
Tellin' you what you done decided
As if you had any choice
And didn't they cry
And worry 'bout people of color
And didn't they mostly turn away
Keep us afraid of each other
And you know it's a lie
It ain't about people of color
The American Dream betrayed
And all of us feel the same rage
And it won't go away
Isn't it strange
Ain't it a mystery
How did he get it in his head
Somehow he could speak for me
