[Verse 1]

Some came to America in search of better lives

Brought bibles and disease, their children and their wives

Some came for a government in which they'd have a voice

Some came in shackles, no one gave them any choice

[Verse 2]

Those who came for avarice to rape the virgin land

Some came from a hunger from a famine-plagued land

Others crave adventure, to see what thеy could learn

Some werе stolen from their families, never to return

[Verse 3]

Those who came to worship the way they felt was right

So-called darky heathens commanded to the light

Of blond hair Nazi Jesus to which they were forced to pray

Shoved the cross down their throats, they choke on it today

[Verse 4]

U.S. history books, where the bullshit will abound

Say African tribal leaders sold their brothers down

It might ease white man's conscience 'bout things he used to do

By telling lies to justify just what ain't friggin' true

[Verse 5]

But now we're all unshackled and some folks say, "We're all free"

And some are so naïve they say we have "equality"

But I say move to Harlem for one month and when it's done

You'll know the desperation that made your forefathers run
