Lyrics : Black History Month Song

I told the world, history would play it back
Say it on tape
You know Mr. Berba got your back
1619..birth of nation. .. America no denying that

History keep lying that every day seems so white and black
Truth, I just need a quote of that
Lets not forget Crispus Attucks was at the the boston attack
Navy Seamen and freedom fighter, who thought that the Brits were wack
He was shot twice in the chest, let’ s not forget that he’s black
He lost his life, so Brits would give it a rest
Like the Harlem Hell Fighters, and Regiment of Massachusetts
Bring home a medal, Black Eagles and records Set
Jesse Owens winning gold, but racism never gets old
Victory abroad, but not winners at home
The Civil Rights Movement our white government wouldn’t condone
Sitting at the counters SNCC doing their thing
With the bus Boycotts..Rosa Parks and King

We don’t have a doctor but we got a king
Let’s not forget about Ida B wells and- Anti-lychning
Emmett Till was only twelves years old
I praise his mom for telling the story of the untold
Sparking a movement that hoping racism would fade
Freedom Summer, Black Panthers, and the Children's Crusade
Ella Baker , John Lewis good trouble displayed
Was it true that Reconstruction was just a charade?
With equality hiding like a masquerade?
With Governors like Wallace throwing shade
We don't have a doctor but we got Rodney King
Systematic Racism and redlining
Plessy vs Ferguson! Forget Bleep’n Jim Crow
But if we don’t where we’ve been, where are we destined to go?
George Floyd, Breona Taylor are names we all know
Goddamn Missisppi were moving too slow..

We don't need a doctor but we all got king
Lets not forget the Black Mamba that brought the lakers a ring
Or what about Beyonce, the Queen Bee can sing
Etta James, Louis Armstrong, and BB King
Madam CJ Walker first female with dough
Kamala Harris Vice President to President joe
Mae Jeminson Of Morgan Park will take you to space
Allsyon Felix and Joyner Kersey winning the race
WEB Dubois wrote the Souls of Black Folk
Kevin Hart, Eddie Murphy and Chris Rock got jokes
From The Harlem Renaissance to Modern Day
Black Excellence is here everyday
From Poetry written by Amanda Goreman
To the greatest of all time like Muhammad Ali and Jordan
Chicago’s finest Barack and Michelle
Black Excellence..too many stories to tell
