They say he waved a wand and set those

po folks free

But ain't no emancipation proclamation

or presidential decree

gonna sway

"real 'merican'

No way, no how

Just think about the history

and what's been allowed

And, this is ain't about bashing 

of the good ol' u.s.

But my country tis a thee

has always kinda' been a mess

Even after civil war,

 Incivility

While they were saving

the union

The people

 set themselves

free

Yeah, Granger message

was

appreciated 

But, ish was in the game

Slaveholders and shady law makers

 feral and

untamed

So, years went by 

and the people 

were still being oppressed 

Terrorized by lynchings, tar and feathering

T.C
