THE DNA WARP (Deoxyribo Nucleic Acid)

THE DNA WARP (Deoxyribo Nucleic Acid)

I HAD A TALK WITH MY ANCESTORS

THROUGH A DNA WARP QUITE VAST

THEY SAID NO MATTER WHAT

TO NEVER LET THEIR MEMORIES BE BURIED IN THE PAST

 

THEY TOLD ME TO REMEMBER THEM ALWAYS

LIKE YOUR ANCESTORS WHO LIVED IN THOSE TIMES

YOU BUILD MONUMENTS YOUR ANCESTORS

MONUMENTS WE’LL BUILD TO MINE

 

THEY SAID THEY MUST GET JUSTICE

ALTHOUGH THEY ARE NOW GONE

YOU WANT WHITES TO HAVE FIRST CLASS “REMEMBERSHIP”

BUT THEIR MEMORIES YOU WANT MOVED ON

 

WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU

DON’T YOU UNDERSTAND EQUALITY

YOU WANT MY HISTORY HIDDEN IN THE BACKGROUND

AND YOUR HISTORY THOUGHT OF ETERNALLY

 

EVERY TIME I LOOK AT A DOLLAR BILL

A NICKEL, QUARTER OR A DIME

I SEE YOUR ANCESTORS LOOKING AT ME

STOP COMPLAINING WHEN I TALK ABOUT MINE

 

THEY SAID YOU’D COME UP WITH SOME LAME EXCUSES

TO PUT US ON THE DEFENSE

AS YOU CELEBRATE WASHINGTON’S BIRTHDAY

CAUSE YOUR ANCESTORS YOU REFUSE TO FORGET

 

BUT WE SEE THIS REALITY DAILY

WE FEEL PRIDE INSTEAD OF REGRET

BECAUSE WE CELEBRATE OUR ANCESTORS REVERENTLY

OUR ANCESTORS WE’LL NEVER FORGET!

 

I HAD A TALK WITH MY ANCESTORS

THROUGH MY DNA, WHICH IS REALLY THEM, RECAST

THEY SAID NO MATTER WHAT

LET THEM BE REMEMBERED, LONGER THAN TIME WILL LAST
