[Hook]
I feel I'm trapped in a crazy place
Asking the Lord for amazing grace

I see the masses wanna change me
I'm waiting for someone to save me
Until then, until then


Well I guess im stuck here on ^!$$% island
Where ^!$$%s be wilin'

And color is violence
Moment of silence
(Repeat)


[Verse 1]
(Yeah)

I am the invisible man
Though I have a soul
I am from an invisible land

They gave me a slave pen
For my freedom of speech
Yeah I'm trying to leave the island

But swimming through bleach
?C'mon son why you always ruin the mood?
Race talks happen every time you enter the room.?

Cuz
There's ignorance in the masses
Too many people think racism is past tense

We fight for blackness
But we don't know what Black is
I know it ain't the zero sum of white men

They wanna know how to reach the hood like there's magic
Like we're all the same
Like we're not dynamic

Hollywood wants to pimp us to get dough
Exploit us, but give us money
Somebody say ?Ho!?

Let's thank them movies and them TV shows
Be a token or I'll play an Uncle Tom role
Or be a magic negro until the day I'm gone

Help the white man reach his goal
But never reach my own
Or an oversexed male

Even a coon
A young man who loves ignorance
Praising his doom

Until then?

[Hook]


[Verse 2]


Say hello to the great cultural brainwash
Washing my brain from some of the things that race taught
Miseducate

Colonize, divide
Teach beauty in straight hair
In the bluest devise

And because of lies, I'm debating five percenters
How the mideast movement gon be a white man's religion?
How a privileged man gon say it's time to move forward

And say the game's fair when he monopolize the board?
And corporate greed just manipulates the poor
Outside the hood, I don't see liquor stores

I know God is sovereign and I should pray about it
But a man won't stop it, if it increases his profits
And most

Ain't realistic with the flow
They make music for the streets, but I don't see 'em at the show
So

Instead of truth, they'd rather be duped
I guess they want me to make more songs for youth groups
Until then


[Hook]


[Verse 3]

Yeah I got a double consciousness, but I'm still in touch
Cops got my hands in the air, so I ain't feeling much
Lookin for protection, all I can see is tyrants

I'm fighting them coons and thugs, some racists and Don Imus
That lady you call ho (yeah)
That's my lover
That woman you call (*##$ (yeah)
That's my mother

Them boys that you killed
Them my brothers
Send the ship to the island, we can rescue some others
Did they fight for civil rights so we could sit on gold?
I can't walk in your shoes, you keep sellin your sole

No
Ain't much Booker T when you look at me
But a whole lot of Dubois making noise
Until then


[Hook]

Here we are, put on a show
Dance a jig, go Jim Crow
Here we are, put on a show
Dance a jig, go monkey go

Here we are, put on a show
Dance a jig, go Jim Crow
Go Jim Crow say go Jim Crow
Go Jim Crow, say go monkey go
That's what you want me to do, right?
(Are you entertained?)
