Radical Discrepancy

Corwin Bizor 1979 (Texas)

If my ancestors were kings and my grandparents were slaves / how'd we blend conditional freedom with our traditional ways / Subjects of humiliation and discriminate pay / kicked, pushed and pissed on but trained to stay / No where to turn / people got hung and burned / beat to teach but I hate the things we learned / separated without segregation / subjugated with no reparations / no way we can repair our nation / long as others are credited with our innovations / we're not going to get a proper judgement until revelations
