[ROSA PARKS]
I’m Rosa Parks, my story marks
The first step t'wards Civil Rights
Racial inequality, American policy
'Til I kicked off a fight
What act of mine led havoc to ensue?
How come I caused such fuss?
What shocking behavior did I do?
We-e-e-ell
I sat on a bus
(You sat on a bus?)
I sat on a bus
(You sat on a bus?)
You want to know why?
(Go ahead, tell us)
I sat on that bus
(You sat on the bus)
In the ’50s, all buses divided
Whites in front, blacks behind
(You serious?)
If the bus filled up, we had to give up
Our seats or we’d be fined
(That’s ludicrous)
I made a stand in my hometown
Montgomery, Alabama
(That’s dangerous)
Refused to stand for a white man
So they put me in the slammer
(Discourteous!)
December 5, 1955
My trial, notorious
Black people stood side-by-side
And no one
