Black America Again (再见美国黑人) (Revised) - Common (凡夫俗子)/Stevie Wonder (史蒂夫·汪德)[00:00:00]

Written by：Lonnie Lynn/Emmanuel Riggins/Stevie Wonder/Kenny Clarke/Rita Greene/Jake Riley/George Clinton/Carlton Ridenhour/Eric Sadler/Hank Shocklee/James Brown/Robert Glasper[00:00:00]

Here we go here here we go again[00:00:20]

Trayvon'll never get to be an older man[00:00:23]

Black children they childhood stole from them[00:00:26]

Robbed of our names and our language stole again[00:00:28]

Who stole the soul from black folk[00:00:31]

Same man that stole the land from Chief Black Smoke[00:00:33]

And made the whip crackle on our back slow[00:00:35]

And made us go through the back door[00:00:37]

And raffle black bodies on the slave blocks[00:00:38]

Now we slave to the blocks on 'em we spray shots[00:00:41]

Leaving our own to lay in a box[00:00:44]

Black mother's stomachs stay in a knot[00:00:46]

We kill each other it's part of the plot[00:00:47]

I wish the hating will stop war[00:00:49]

And the battle with us[00:00:52]

I know that Black lives matter and they matter to us[00:00:53]

These are the things we gotta discuss[00:00:56]

The new plantation mass incarceration[00:00:58]

Instead of educate they'd rather convict the kids[00:01:01]

As dirty as the water in Flint the system is[00:01:04]

Is it a felony or a misdemeanor[00:01:06]

Maria Sharapova making more than Serena[00:01:09]

It took Viola Davis to say this[00:01:11]

The roles of the help and the gangsters is really all they gave us[00:01:13]

We need Avas Ta Nehisis and Cory Bookers[00:01:17]

The salt of the Earth to get us off of sugar[00:01:20]

And greasy foods[00:01:22]

I don't believe the news or radio stereotypes we refuse[00:01:23]

Brainwashed in the cycle to spin[00:01:27]

We write our own story black America again[00:01:29]

You know One way of solving a lot of problems[00:01:32]

That we've got is lettin' a person feel[00:01:36]

That they're important and a man can't get himself together[00:01:40]

Until he knows who he is and be proud of what[00:01:43]

And who he is and where he come from[00:01:46]

And where he come from[00:01:50]

Hot damn black America again[00:01:53]

Think of Sandra Bland as I'm staring in the wind[00:01:55]

The color of my skin they comparing it to sin[00:01:57]

The darker it gets the less fairer it has been[00:02:00]

The hate the hate made I inherited from them[00:02:03]

But I ain't gon' point the finger we got annointed singers[00:02:05]

Like Nina Marvin Billie Stevie[00:02:07]

Need to hear them songs sometimes to believe me[00:02:10]

Who freed me Lincoln or Cadillac[00:02:12]

Drinking or battle raps or is it Godspeed that we travel at[00:02:15]

Endangered in our own habitat[00:02:18]

The guns and d**e man y'all can have it back[00:02:20]

As a matter of fact we them lab rats[00:02:22]

You build the projects for now you want your hood back[00:02:25]

I guess if you could rap you would express it too[00:02:27]

That PTSD we need professionals[00:02:30]

You know what pressure do it make the pipes bust[00:02:32]

From schools to prison y'all they tryna pipe us[00:02:35]

Tell your political parties invite us[00:02:38]

Instead of making voting laws to spite us[00:02:40]

You know you know we from a family of fighters[00:02:43]

Fought in your wars and our wars[00:02:45]

You put a ni**a in Star Wars maybe you need two[00:02:47]

And then maybe then we'll believe you[00:02:51]

See black people in the future[00:02:53]

We wasn't shipped here to rob and shoot ya[00:02:55]

We hold these truths to be self evident[00:02:58]

All men and women are created equal including black Americans[00:03:00]

You know you know you know One way of solving a lot of problems[00:03:04]

That we've got is to let a person feel like somebody[00:03:08]

And a man can't get himself together[00:03:13]

Until he knows who he is and be proud of what and who he is[00:03:15]

And where he come from and where he come from[00:03:19]
